After 21 years of marriage, actor Scott Wolf and his wife Kelley have officially parted ways, marking the end of a long-standing union that once weathered immense personal challenges. The announcement came on June 10, 2025, via an emotional Instagram post by Kelley Wolf, 48, accompanied by an image of a lion symbolizing courage and strength.
"This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children," she wrote. The couple shares three children: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. Kelley's message focused on healing and personal integrity. "I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion," she added.
The announcement followed nearly two weeks after the couple privately marked their 21st anniversary. Notably, a year prior, Kelley had reflected publicly on their marriage, revealing she had once contemplated leaving. "I almost loved you enough to stop loving myself," she had told Scott, highlighting the emotional labor behind the scenes.
Scott Wolf, 57, best known for Party of Five, issued a formal statement to PEOPLE the same day. "I have made the most difficult decision of my life and filed for divorce," he said. "Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority." He respectfully requested privacy as the family navigates the transition.
Despite the end of their marriage, both maintained mutual respect. Kelley praised Scott as "one of the best fathers I've ever known," and called him "kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit." She emphasized that their focus remains on their children's wellbeing and her own healing, stating, "That will never change."
The couple first met in 2002 and wed in 2004. Throughout their marriage, they publicly celebrated each other. In February 2025, Scott posted a heartfelt Valentine's Day tribute calling Kelley and their daughter Lucy his "forever Valentines."
While neither party disclosed specific reasons for the separation, Kelley's language suggested a gradual emotional journey rather than a sudden rupture. "I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace," she concluded.
The dissolution of the Wolf marriage reflects a deeply personal, deliberate decision. It underscores the complexity of long-term relationships and the difficult choices individuals make to preserve personal integrity and family unity, even at the cost of separation.
