Scott’s message comes a day after TMZ reported that his wife filed to end their union after 18 years of marriage.
“Out of respect for their family, Scott intends to navigate this difficult time privately,” a rep for the musician told People.
The couple’s split was years in the making as Jaclyn, 43, had previously filed for divorce against Scott in June 2022, according to court records viewed by Page Six.

A source told People: “Scott and Jaclyn had determined the marriage was over but continued to try to make it work.”
