SCOTT WOLF BREAKS SILENCE ON DIVORCE FROM KELLEY: "IT'S BEEN A LONG, QUIET JOURNEY"

In a shocking move, Scott Wolf has finally spoken out about his split from wife of 21 years, Kelley Wolf, after she announced the news on Instagram. The Party of Five star, 57, confirmed the divorce in a statement to thescholarlynote.com, revealing that he had initiated the split.

But before we dive into the details, let's take a trip down memory lane. Scott and Kelley met in 2002 and tied the knot two years later. They've been through thick and thin together, building a life filled with love, laughter, and three adorable children - Jackson, Miller, and Lucy.

On Tuesday, Kelley, 48, shared the emotional update with her followers, writing, 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage' (Kelley and Scott in 2023)

However, it seems that all is not well in paradise. In her Instagram post announcing the split, Kelley revealed that the couple had been going through a "long, quiet journey" for quite some time. She wrote:

"It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage."

But what really caught our attention was Kelley's emotional plea to her followers:

Just hours after Kelley¿s post, the Party of Five star, 57, confirmed the news in a statement to People , revealing that he had initiated the split

"This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children."

The mother of three went on to express her gratitude towards those who have supported her during this challenging time. She even thanked the "many friends, family, and professionals" who have held space for her with love.

Scott, too, has been quite candid about their split. In his statement to thescholarlynote.com, he revealed that he had initiated the divorce proceedings. He wrote:

'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' he said; (seen in 2016)

"After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley."

The Party of Five star went on to emphasize that their priority remains their three children, Jackson, Miller, and Lucy. He asked for privacy at this time as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.

Now, let's get to the juicy part! Kelley shared a cryptic message hinting at feeling "misunderstood" and a desire to "tell the truth." She even posted a poem on Instagram, speaking about breaking free from old patterns and expectations to find true freedom. She wrote:

'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter'

"I know that may sound bold, but when I read it back, I sat in stillness and wept... Because somehow, these words came straight from the center of my heart — clear, fierce, and free."

Kelley's poem encouraged her followers to listen to their inner voice when it's time to change. She reminded them that:

"It’s WORTH IT! YOU ARE WORTH IT!"

Scott became a household name with Party of Five, which debuted in 1994

It seems that Kelley has been going through a rollercoaster ride of emotions lately. Just last week, she shared a heartfelt tribute to Scott on their 21st wedding anniversary. In the post, she wrote:

"Scott Wolf is one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with."

But amidst all the drama and heartache, Kelley remains committed to raising her children with love and stability. She wrote:

'We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children,' she wrote Tuesday

"We both look forward to an extraordinary life centered around the most extraordinary children. My priority has always been their wellbeing—and my own healing. That will never change."

As we bid farewell to this chapter in Scott and Kelley's lives, it's hard not to wonder what lies ahead for the couple. Will they remain friends? Can they co-parent amicably?

Only time will tell. For now, our hearts go out to Scott, Kelley, and their three beautiful children as they navigate this new chapter in their lives.
