Kristy Scott is stepping into a new chapter of her life—and doing so with grace and confidence. The popular influencer, known online as Kristy Sarah, made a stylish return to Instagram over the weekend following news of her split from husband Desmond Scott.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Sunday, January 11, Kristy shared a mirror video showing off her “OOTN” (outfit of the night). The 30-year-old wore a sleek, long-sleeve sculpted burgundy set, pairing the look with soft makeup, long flowing curls, and a chic cream-colored manicure. Smiling warmly, she played with her hair as she posed for the camera, signaling a calm and composed presence amid personal upheaval.
The post marked her first visible appearance on social media since confirmation of her divorce filing, and fans were quick to notice her poised demeanor.
The following day, Monday, January 12, Kristy shared a repost from nonprofit organization Carrying Hope, which thanked her for a generous $10,000 donation. According to the organization, the contribution will help fund the opening of a second apartment in San Marcos for young adults aging out of the foster care system. Later that day, Kristy also offered a glimpse into her personal life by sharing a photo of luxurious new drapes in her home.
The recent posts suggest that Kristy is focusing on positivity and forward movement as she enters 2026.
According to court records obtained by Us Weekly, Kristy filed for divorce in Harris County, Texas, on December 30, 2025. A subsequent report from TMZ on January 9 revealed that the split was reportedly due to alleged infidelity. The documents state that there is no chance of reconciliation and that the couple will soon stop living together as husband and wife.
Kristy and Desmond had been married since 2014 and share two sons, Vance and Westin. Their separation came as a surprise to fans who had followed their relationship for years across social media platforms. The couple, who have known each other since they were 14, built a massive following by sharing their lives online. Kristy boasts 9.4 million Instagram followers and 16.8 million on TikTok, while Desmond has 1.7 million followers on Instagram and 1.4 million on TikTok.
In addition to creating viral content together, the former couple also co-own a production company, Meant to Be Films.
Desmond addressed the breakup publicly for the first time in an Instagram Stories statement shared on Saturday, January 10. In his message, he apologized to Kristy, their family, and supporters affected by the news.
“I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” he wrote. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused.”
He emphasized his commitment to their children, saying, “Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first. I remain fully committed to being an active, present, and loving parent to our boys.”
Desmond acknowledged that the couple faced challenges and made efforts to resolve them, revealing that he initiated conversations about separating toward the end of 2025. He admitted to making “choices that I am not proud of,” adding that he took responsibility and shared those actions directly with Kristy.
“Ultimately, we decided to divorce,” he concluded. “I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter of our lives.”
As fans continue to process the news, Kristy’s recent posts reflect resilience, generosity, and a quiet confidence—suggesting that while one chapter has ended, another is just beginning.
