From the beginning of their marriage to their tumultuous split, Scott Wolf and his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, have remained dedicated to their kids.
Scott and Kelley were married for two decades before calling it quits, during which they welcomed three children. The Party of Five alum and his ex first became parents in March 2009, welcoming son Jackson. Son Miller and daughter Lucy followed in November 2012 and May 2014, respectively.
Weeks after celebrating Lucy’s 11th birthday with gushing social media tributes, Scott filed for divorce.
“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 in a June 2025 statement. “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.”

Kelley, for her part, noted in a special media post of her own that she asked for a separation a year prior to Scott’s filing.
While the pair seemingly tried to keep their children out of the spotlight amid their split, Jackson appeared to get in the middle after his mom claimed via Instagram that she was unable to retrieve “basic items” from the family’s home.
“This is insane, Mom, what are you doing?” Jackson, then 16, wrote via Instagram comment.

Scott boasted about his bustling home life in an interview with HuffPost three months after Kelley gave birth to Lucy.
“I grew up with a certain amount of dysfunction in my house and I don’t know if I ever really knew what to expect in terms of what my family life would look like,” he said. “I don’t know that I could have ever dreamed it up to be quite like it is, and I owe a lot of that to Kelley, who is a remarkable human being, and a great partner and mom. She keeps us on track.”
Scott was also “all in” on helping with the day-to-day responsibilities of raising kids.
“Kids make you have long days and quick years,” he added. “There are definitely days that are challenging and long, and there’s a lot of attention that needs to get paid, but nothing compares to being a part of these new lives — it’s magical. My wife and I have a good partnership in it all.”
Four years later, Scott exclusively told Us Weekly that he and Kelley didn’t plan to expand their family further.
“It’s a wrap on baby making. We’re a party of five, you see?” he quipped, making a play on words by evoking his popular TV series. “Three is a lot, but they’re a great little squad and we’re really lucky and happy, thankfully.”

The next year, Scott told Us that Jackson and Miller especially had started to figure out what Party of Five was.
“I think they hear Party of Five said so often that it looms in the background of our life, to finally put a face to that thing would be cool,” Scott said, hoping his children would want to check out episodes soon enough. “I talk to people all the time who are watching it with their families and they say that the stories are so human and authentic and timeless. It was a really cool conversation starter for parents with their kids back then, I think I would take advantage of that too.”
Scott and Kelly shared what it was like to raise their brood in Park City, Utah.
“It’s amazing,” he said on an episode of Live With Kelly and Ryan. “It’s Christmas-y for a long period of time because there’s snow on the ground sometimes for six months out of the year. … All of our kids are pretty good skiers. Our 10-year-old, Jackson, is a really good skier.”
“I’ve got the luckiest kids because they have @kelleywolf as their mom. Happy Mother’s Day to my favorite one,” Scott gushed via Instagram. “We love you with all we got. Just like you love us. .”

The next year on Father’s Day, Kelley honored Scott with a candid message about the realities of parenting.
“This s*** is hard and if you start to believe that everyone is perfect, except you, because of photos like THIS, well, it’s not true,” Kelley wrote via Instagram. “The world and media and even other people are wired to show and tell you the highlight real. Not the REAL real.”
While Kelley admitted that she and Scott had an “amazing partnership,” certain aspects of raising kids were “still damn hard.”
“If it’s hard when you have a supportive partner and reasonable children, then godspeed to any hiccups in the parenting path,” she said. “My mom was just here and she said, ‘You always stay so calm and measured with your kids, it’s really lovely’ and I looked her straight in the eyes and said, ‘Drugs.’ … I’m mostly kidding about the drug part but I’m serious about the hard part and I truly hope that you know that life is a beautiful mess of hope, grief, plot twists, good twists, mountains and valleys and the only parenting advice we should all take is: Love ‘em.”
The Doc star got candid about the struggles of parenthood in an exclusive interview with Us.
“The last few years have presented life in a way that we hadn’t experienced before,” Scott said. “These are not life and death issues, but reframing issues, things that have, kind of, challenges, and watching our family go through things that have presented challenges … to find our way through in ways that have changed the way I see happiness.”
He continued, “My family’s been through some stuff over the past few years. This period of time has been weird for a lot of people. And we sort of got blown in the wind a little bit, moved around a bunch, and [I] watched my children deal with all of that.”
After Scott filed for divorce, Kelley claimed via her Instagram Stories that she was “not able to see” Jackson, Miller and Lucy. In a follow-up post weeks later in July, the motivational speaker further alleged that Scott took the kids on a vacation without informing her first.
“Meanwhile, husband filed for divorce this past week, even though I’ve been trying to file for a legal separation for nine LONG months,” Kelley claimed. “[He] appears to have taken our three children to Boston — without informing me. I’m currently trying to locate them, so I can meet them there. I’ve barely seen my kids.”
Scott did not immediately address the accusations at the time. Us reached out for comment.
