Kristy and Desmond Scott's divorce news has left their fans heartbroken. However, what left them further shocked were the alleged claims that the latter had cheated on his wife.
Kristy Scott's divorce from her husband, Desmond Scott, has left their fans absolutely stunned. What looked like a picture-perfect marriage on social media crumbled before their followers. However, what shocked them even more were the alleged claims that their decision to part ways came after Desmond allegedly cheated on Kristy. And now the fans have been linking their separation to their beliefs as Jehovah's Witnesses.
An intense debate around Kristy Scott, and Desmond Scott's divorce has taken over the internet. And now, fans are convinced that their decision was heavily shaped by their religious beliefs. Kristy and Sarah became the internet's favourite couple over the years. However, the past weekend marked the end of their relationship with allegations that Desmond cheated on Kristy, making headlines. However, the buzz was not just because of the alleged infidelity, but due to the religious context some fans believe shapes the split.
According to the court filing in Harris County, Texas, Kristy Scott cited infidelity as the reason for their divorce, a claim that many now believe is tied to the couple's reported Jehovah's Witness background and the religion's teachings on marriage and remarriage. As per the news making rounds online, fans began linking their divorce to their alleged Jehovah's Witness upbringing. While some followers noted that the religious practice only allowed divorce under specific circumstances.
Kristy and Desmond's fans alleged that the conditions under which Jehovah's Witnesses could seek divorce were adultery or 'sexual immorality', often cited as one of the few acceptable grounds. This belief has further fueled the infidelity claims, which may serve as a dual purpose. According to fans, Desmond's alleged infidelity might have caused Kristy to file for divorce, while also aligning with the religious norms of the faith.
Desmond Scott and Kristy Scott got married in 2014. The couple soon made a strong online presence, sharing family content across social media platforms. However, after 11 years of tying the knot, Kristy filed for divorce from Desmond Scott on 30 December 2025, according to court documents. In the filing, she stated that Desmond's alleged actions (infidelity) 'completely wiped out any reasonable chance of reconciliation,' effectively signalling the end of their marriage.
In response to the buzz, Desmond Scott took to his social media handle on January 10, 2026 (ET), and admitted that his actions had hurt his wife. He offered an emotional statement that many interpreted as an indirect admission of infidelity. In a post shared on his social media, the TikToker apologised to Kristy, their family, and supporters, saying that "toward the end of 2025, I wanted to separate, and I had conversations with Kristy regarding this." He acknowledged having "made choices that I am not proud of," though he did not explicitly say 'cheating'.
Fans first noticed Desmond's absence from Kristy's page in late 2025, when she started posting lifestyle and personal videos, instead of their usual joint content. Long-time fans were shocked by the turn in their relationship as the couple was a personified picture of a perfect partnership, one that showcased fun family moments, pranks and everyday life shared with their two sons, Vance and Westin.
