Zac Brown Engaged To Jewelry Designer Kendra Scott Just Months After Finalizing Divorce From Ex-Wife Kelly Yazdi

Well that didn’t take long.

Back in 2023, Zac Brown Band frontman Zac Brown and his wife Kelly Yazdi announced they were getting a divorce, just four months after getting married in a private Nashville ceremony.

It was Brown’s second marriage, after previously being married to jewelry designer Shelly Brown, the mother of his five children, for 12 years before the couple divorced in 2018.

The split between Brown and Yazdi has been a messy one, with the divorce being finalized in January. And his ex-wife has since revealed that Brown reportedly asked for a divorce over Zoom just nine days after their wedding reception, while the singer has also filed a lawsuit against Yazdi over a poem she wrote and posted to her Instagram, claiming that she was defaming him.

Yazdi recently took to social media to provide an update on the lawsuit, accusing Zac of trying to tie her up with expensive lawsuits as a means to control her and revealing that the former couple are set to go to trial on September 15:

“Zac has been dragging me through lawsuits for the last year and a half now. It started back in early 2024, when he tried to force me to sign a marital NDA during our divorce, which I refused. And a couple weeks later, he used our wedding video in his music video, replacing me with a look-a-like model who was engaging in inappropriate behavior. It was just… disgusting.

Then in May 2024, he filed a lawsuit against me in regard to a poem I wrote, claiming it violated my employment agreement with his company, Zac Brown Collective (ZBC). He even tried to get a temporary restraining order to silence me, which ended up being denied in federal court. Then, he sued me again, this time accusing me of “corporate espionage,” basically “Coke versus Pepsi” kind of stuff and asking for an injunction against me. Then After a very long and very expensive discovery process, in December 2024, Zac withdrew his motion for a preliminary injunction claim — and essentially admitted there was no evidence and no damages.

Despite all of this, Zac has kept me tied up in expensive lawsuits, as a means to control and intimate me, even though our divorce was finalized in January (so just a few months ago). Why this guy won’t just leave me alone, I don’t know. This has been an incredibly difficult, expensive and emotional journey: one that I never asked for and one that I hope no one else ever has to go through. But I have to stand up for myself, and for anyone who has ever felt controlled or silenced by someone with more power and resources.”

But even as he’s locked in litigation with his ex-wife, it seems that Zac has moved on – and quick – in his personal life.

Back in May, Zac debuted his new relationship with jewelry designer Kendra Scott when the two walked the red carpet of the AMA Awards together.

According to a source at the time, the two were set up by a mutual friend and were “head over heels” in love with each other. And apparently so, because just a few months after going public with their relationship, and just a year and a half after divorcing his ex-wife, it appears that Zac and Kendra are already preparing to tie the knot.

The engagement was revealed by People, with the couple expressing their love for each other:

“We are so happy and grateful that we found each other.”

The two had reportedly been dating for a few months at the time of their AMA red carpet debut, so who knows when they actually got together. But along with attending the awards show together, the couple was also photographed together at the wedding of Zac’s fellow country star Jamey Johnson later that same month, and she’s shared some photos of the two together during their relationship.

As for Zac, he’s also gearing up to headline the Las Vegas Sphere after recently announcing a residency there, which initially consisted of four dates in December before adding two more shows in January this week.
