An update from Zac Brown’s ex-wife, Kelly Yazdi.
Late in 2023, it was revealed that Zac Brown and his wife, Kelly Yazdi, were getting a divorce, just 4 months after the couple had tied the knot in a private Nashville ceremony. The Zac Brown Band frontman had been married to jewelry designer Shelly Brown, the mother of his five children, for 12 years before the couple divorced in 2018. He then reportedly became engaged to Yazdi in 2023. They got married in August 2023, had their wedding party/reception in November, and then split in December.
When the two announced their divorce, they released a joint statement that made it appear as though their decision to split was amicable.
“We are in the process of divorce. 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.”
But then, things took a turn for the worse, and Zac Brown filed a lawsuit against her, claiming that she was defaming him with an Instagram post about being in a controlling and abusive relationship. Zac was not named in the post.
Yazdi made a statement in response to the lawsuit, clarifying the record. In a lengthy video statement posted on August 8, 2024, she says that she has been afraid to speak up on the matter, but wants to set the record straight. She also says that Zac asked her for a divorce over Zoom, just 9 days after their wedding party.
9 AFTER THEIR RECEPTION. OVER ZOOM. Ouch…
