In a heartbreaking turn of events, it was announced in May 2024 that Scott and Jaclyn Stapp are parting ways after 18 years of marriage.
The news comes as the rock band Creed prepares to embark on a months-long reunion tour after a 12-year break, leaving Jaclyn to handle parenting duties on her own as she cares for the couple’s three children.
Scott and Jaclyn are parents to one daughter, Milan, and two sons, Daniel and Anthony. They also share a son from Scott’s previous relationship, Jagger, whom he has full custody of. The couple’s dedication to their children is evident in Scott’s sentiments about his role as a father. He has expressed gratitude for his children, calling them his “purpose” in life and expressing a desire to break “generational curses” to ensure his family’s well-being.
Scott and Jaclyn tied the knot on February 11, 2006, after meeting at a Muscular Dystrophy Association Gala in New York the previous year. Despite facing challenges in their relationship, including Scott’s struggles with alcohol and substance abuse, the couple has always shown love and support for each other. Scott once described Jaclyn as an “angel” who saved him and transformed his life in a heartfelt Facebook tribute.
The road to divorce was not an easy one for Scott and Jaclyn, with Jaclyn filing for divorce multiple times in the past before ultimately choosing to prioritize their family. This time, the decision to officially part ways was made by Scott in May 2023, with the divorce becoming final in May 2024. The couple intends to navigate this difficult time privately as they focus on co-parenting their children.
