“I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” Desmond, 31, announced via his Instagram Story on Saturday, January 10. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused.”

He went on, “Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first. I remain fully committed to being an active, present, and loving parent to our boys, as I have always been.”

Earlier in the day, Us Weekly confirmed that Kristy, 30, officially filed for divorce on December 30, 2025. Per TMZ, Kristy cited alleged infidelity as the reason for their split. (Kristy and Desmond have been married since 2014 and share two children: sons Vance and Westin.)

Documents filed by the social media star in Harris County, Texas, indicated that there is no hope of reconciliation for the former couple and that they “will soon stop living together as husband and wife.” Us has reached out to both parties for comment.

Via his Instagram Story, Desmond offered his perspective on what led up to his marriage of nearly 12 years falling apart.

“Kristy and I faced challenges and made sincere efforts to work through them,” he explained. “Toward the end of 2025, I wanted to separate, and I had conversations with Kristy regarding this.”

Desmond acknowledged that he made “choices that I am not proud of” while he was trying to work through his separation from Kristy.

“I took responsibility for those actions,” he insisted. “I shared this with her directly and personally, and ultimately we decided to divorce. I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter in our lives.”

The chef concluded his Instagram Story by thanking “everyone who has supported” his family over the years.

“I’m grateful for that support and I will continue sharing my love for cooking and the things that inspire me,” Desmond vowed. “I hope you’ll continue that journey with me.”

Kristy has yet to respond to her estranged husband’s Instagram post.
