‘Party of Five’ star Scott Wolf, ‘Real World’ alum Kelley Wolf divorcing

After 21 years together, Scott Wolf and Kelley Wolf have decided to go their separate ways.

A Real World alum, Kelley shared a lengthy message announcing her split from the Party of Five star — with whom she shares three children — in a Tuesday Instagram post.

“It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage. This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I’ve done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.”

Kelley referred to her soon-to-be ex as “one of the best fathers I’ve ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit.” Though she vowed that the couple’s lives would continue to be “centered around the most extraordinary children,” Kelley noted she will be “stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace.”

“Thank you to the many friends, family, and professionals who have held space for me with love. Please respect our privacy during this time,” she concluded.

Reps for Scott Wolf did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly‘s request for comment.

Scott Wolf, 57, is a prolific TV actor best known for his role as Bailey Salinger on Party of Five. The Boston-born actor played sibling to Matthew Fox, Neve Campbell, and Lacey Chabert across the show’s six seasons, but has continued to appear in sizable roles in series like Everwood, The Night Shift, and most recently, the Fox medical drama Doc.

Kelley Wolf, born Kelley Marie Limp, was cast on The Real World: New Orleans in 2000.

The pair met in 2002 and were married in 2004, and have welcomed three children over the course of their two decades together: Jackson, Miller, and Lucy.

Last May, Kelley shared a story of a conversation that almost ended her marriage with Scott on Instagram. Though they persevered through that patch, Kelley wrote, “Marriage, friendships, relationships of all kinds are a dance. Never to be a straight line. Never without plot, twists, and highs and lows.”
