Kelley Wolf has publicly expressed her feelings for her children during her ongoing divorce from actor Scott Wolf. On July 13, 2023, Kelley shared an emotional message on her Instagram Stories, featuring a photo of a model next to a horse with the American flag in the background. The message read, “I’m really missing my family… love you – momma.”
In her post, Kelley included three images of her children: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. The faces of the children were partially obscured by a lioness image, adding a poignant touch to her heartfelt sentiment. Kelley’s emotional outreach comes in the wake of Scott filing for divorce in June after nearly 19 years of marriage.
The separation was confirmed publicly on June 10, 2023, when Kelley announced the split on social media. She described the end of their marriage as part of a “long, quiet journey” focusing on “hope, patience, and care for our children.” In his own statement, Scott noted that the decision to divorce was the most difficult he had ever made. He emphasized their shared priority: their children.
Days after the divorce announcement, Scott requested a temporary restraining order against Kelley, which was filed on June 24. Court documents revealed that he was granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of the children, as well as exclusive possession of their family home in Park City, Utah.
Kelley has since been vocal about embracing a new chapter in her life. On July 4, she posted another message on Instagram, stating, “Love makes the world go round… and in the times you feel heavy… KNOW… you are special. Peace is a state of mind.” She reassured her children that it is acceptable to experience a range of emotions during challenging times and declared, “I love you all and I am HAPPY. And that’s OK.”
Following the divorce news, Kelley faced personal struggles when she was detained by Utah authorities while live-streaming on Instagram. Reports indicated that she made concerning comments about her relationship with Scott, leading to hospitalization. She later claimed the hospitalization was against her will, sparking further media attention.
A source close to Kelley described the situation as disheartening for the children, asserting that Kelley is determined to advocate fiercely for their well-being. The source remarked, “It is not warranted, it’s cruel. And it’s incorrect.”
As Kelley navigates this difficult period, her messages to her children reflect a deep commitment to their emotional needs and her ongoing journey toward healing. The public nature of these events highlights the complex dynamics of family life during divorce, particularly when children are involved.
