The post Scott Wolf and Kelley Wolf Confirm They’re Moving Forward With Divorce After Months of Family Healing first appeared on Crafting Your Home
Scott Wolf and Kelley Wolf have confirmed that their marriage is officially ending, more than a year after their split first became public and several months after the former couple surprised fans by reuniting as a family to focus on healing.
In a new joint statement shared exclusively with PEOPLE, the two said they have decided to move forward with finalizing their divorce, closing out a turbulent chapter that saw the pair swing from a contentious separation to a period of quiet reconciliation before ultimately returning to the decision to part ways for good.
The “Party of Five” and “Doc” actor, 57, and Kelley, 48, a “Real World: New Orleans” alum, first announced their separation in June 2025 after 21 years of marriage.
What followed was an unusually public and difficult stretch for the family, marked by legal disputes, competing allegations, and Kelley’s own candid disclosures about a mental health crisis, before the couple appeared to find their footing again earlier this year.
Their new statement makes clear that despite that period of reconciliation, the two have ultimately concluded that divorce remains the right path forward for their family.
A New Joint Statement Confirms the Divorce Is Proceeding
In their joint statement to PEOPLE, Scott and Kelley explained that they had been living together as a family since early spring, deliberately prioritizing healing, rebuilding, and stability before making any final decisions about their marriage.
Reflecting on that time together, the couple said, “Our hearts are heavy, but they are also filled with gratitude for the years we spent together,” a sentiment that echoed the care both had shown individually throughout the more difficult stretches of their split.
They also thanked everyone who supported their family with love and prayers throughout the process. The former couple emphasized that despite moving forward with the divorce, their three children remain the central focus of this next chapter.
Scott and Kelley share sons Jackson, 17, and Miller, 13, and daughter Lucy, 12, and the two said they intend to approach the future as committed co-parents working together toward a positive future for their family.
That framing has remained remarkably consistent throughout the entire ordeal, with both Scott and Kelley repeatedly returning to their children as the anchor guiding their decisions, even during the most contentious points of their separation.
The Rocky Road From Split to Reunion
The path to this latest announcement has been anything but smooth. When Kelley first revealed the couple’s separation on Instagram in June 2025, she described the decision in deeply personal terms, writing, “It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage.”
She went on to praise Scott directly in that same post, calling him, “Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I’ve ever known,” and describing him as kind, thoughtful, and funny.
Hours later, Scott confirmed in his own statement that he had filed for divorce, calling it, “After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life.”
In the months that followed, the situation grew significantly more strained. Kelley leveled a series of serious allegations against Scott, including claims of psychological abuse and child endangerment, which led to legal proceedings between the two, including competing protective order filings.
Scott firmly denied the accusations, telling PEOPLE at the time, “There are some significant challenges that are making our situation incredibly difficult and contentious.”
He went further in a separate statement, alleging that Kelley had described to him a plan to make claims against him for strategic advantage, saying she had described her plans to “make claims” about him while also privately admitting she did not believe them to be true.
Around this same period, Kelley also faced involuntary psychiatric holds and an arrest as the proceedings escalated.
In the aftermath of that difficult stretch, Kelley chose to speak publicly about what she had been going through, revealing that she had experienced a period of drug-induced mania accompanied by psychosis.
She credited both Scott and their children with supporting her through that time, offering a rare and candid glimpse into how serious the family’s private struggles had become behind the headlines.
That disclosure marked a turning point in the public narrative, shifting the conversation from conflict to compassion as fans and followers began to better understand the context behind the earlier allegations and legal battles.
What’s Next for Scott, Kelley, and Their Three Kids
By February 2026, signs of a genuine thaw between Scott and Kelley began to emerge. The two were spotted reuniting with their three children for a family outing at Universal Studios Hollywood, and they shared the moment together on Instagram, presenting a united front that surprised many who had followed the more turbulent chapters of their split.
Addressing the reunion directly, Scott told PEOPLE, “We are healing. We are committed to being honest, authentic, and loving,” signaling that the family had entered a noticeably different phase compared to where things stood just months earlier.
That period of reconciliation ultimately extended into the couple living together again starting in early spring, a stretch of time the two have now confirmed was dedicated specifically to healing and stability rather than an attempt to reverse the divorce altogether.
Throughout every phase of the process, both Scott and Kelley have consistently framed their children as the true priority, with Scott reiterating back in 2025 that, “Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives,” a sentiment that has clearly continued to guide the family’s decisions through every twist of the past year and a half.
With this latest joint statement, Scott and Kelley appear to be closing the book on a marriage that spanned more than two decades, choosing to do so on their own terms and with a shared emphasis on gratitude rather than acrimony.
While the legal process of finalizing their divorce is expected to continue, both have made clear that their focus going forward will be on functioning as co-parents to Jackson, Miller, and Lucy, drawing on the stability they say they worked hard to rebuild together over the past several months.
For a couple whose split played out unusually publicly, the tone of this final chapter stands in sharp contrast to the turmoil that once defined it, offering instead a picture of two people trying to part ways with as much care and mutual respect as they can manage.
