Zac Brown Marriage Update Triggers Fresh Questions About His Past Love Life

Zac Brown is officially off the market again — and this time, the news is getting even more attention because of the complicated love history behind it. The country star has now married jewelry designer Kendra Scott, less than a year after he proposed in July 2025.

“We’re so happy we found each other and we’re blessed,” Brown previously said about his engagement on the Today Show. “It just adds so much energy to everything else. More to give to music, more to give to our families and everything.”

But Brown’s love life has been making headlines for far more than just romance. Over the last few years, his relationships — and one especially messy legal dispute — have kept fans talking. Here’s a closer look at his marriages, dating history, and the twists that led up to this new chapter.

When did Zac Brown and Kendra Scott get married?

In July 2025, Brown confirmed his engagement to jewelry designer Kendra Scott. Their relationship reportedly began after a mutual friend introduced them, and the pair made their red carpet debut just two months before the announcement after months of keeping things quiet.

The timeline moved fast from there. By May 25, 2026, the couple had reportedly tied the knot in a private destination wedding in Greece, according to People.

How many times has Zac Brown been married?

Brown has been married twice before Scott. His first wife was Shelly Brown, whom he met through a mutual friend and married in 2006.

After 12 years together, the former couple announced their separation in 2018. In a joint statement, they said, “We feel blessed to be on such an incredible journey in life and sometimes the journey begins to lead in different directions. It is with deep love and respect that we announce we are separating as a couple,” adding, “This was a difficult decision, but we’ve done plenty of tough things together and this is our next venture — love, mutual respect, and care for each other are what we are moving forward with. Family comes in all different forms. We would like to ask that rather than commenting or spending any energy towards this, that you take this moment to send love to your family, in honor of ours.”

The next year, Brown told CBS This Morning, “When you live in something long enough that it’s not working anymore, and that the differences that are there are greater, and that it’s healthier to not live in conflict than it is to try to stay. And no matter how many mistakes, or whatever … and she absolutely was the one.”

In 2021, Brown began dating Kelly Yazdi, who also worked for his company, Zac Brown Collective (ZBC). He proposed the following year, and they married in August 2023. But by December, it was already over.

“We are in the process of divorce,” they told Billboard. “Our mutual respect for one another remains. We wish each other the best and will always appreciate our time together. As we navigate this personal matter, we simply request privacy during this time.” The split, however, quickly turned far more contentious.

Why did Zac Brown sue ex-wife Kelly Yazdi?

Brown filed a lawsuit against Yazdi in May 2024, asking a court to force her to remove an Instagram post he said violated a confidentiality agreement she had signed while working for him. He also wanted her barred from making “any defamatory, false, untrue, or otherwise damaging statements regarding… Mr. Brown and his family, and the Zac Brown Band and any of its members or their family members.”

“I took the steps necessary to enforce an agreement between us to maintain personal and business affairs in confidence and to protect my family from online harassment and speculation,” Brown told NBC News. “My only hope is for us to keep private matters private and to move forward with the mutual respect we had agreed to show one another when we parted ways.”

Although Brown did not identify the exact post, People pointed to Yazdi’s May 4, 2024, post about “rebirth.” She never named Brown directly, but wrote, “Overtime it became apparent that he only knew conditional love; his unhealed trauma expressing itself thru his need to tame. Don’t model anymore. Take this picture off your Instagram. Don’t wear that in the house. Don’t post that bikini picture. Don’t post anymore fitness videos. Yes I said you could post that, but now I’m saying take it down. I don’t want other men looking at what is mine. I want to protect you, your body is sacred to me, can’t you see this is because I love you. I don’t want to be with the kind of woman who has to show off her body for attention. I will f**king leave you.”

Yazdi then responded on social media. “No one — not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers – may silence my right to freely express myself through art or, although I have to date declined to do so publicly, to speak about the circumstances of our pending divorce,” she wrote. “I intend to respond swiftly and robustly to his meritless complaint that publication of two poems on my personal social media account divulged any ‘confidential information’ about his business, much less authorizes a court to enjoin me from speaking about matters in my personal life that have nothing to do with my brief former work for the Zac Brown Collective, Inc.”
