Zac Brown and Kendra Scott’s love story began to unfold publicly in May 2025 when they made their red carpet debut at the American Music Awards. Introduced by mutual friends, they had been cultivating their relationship privately for several months prior. A source revealed to Us Weekly that their connection was deeply rooted in shared values, particularly their commitment to family and philanthropy. This foundation has helped solidify their bond, as both are described not only as partners but as true teammates who uplift each other in every aspect of their lives.
Before dating Scott, Zac Brown had a significant personal history, including a 12-year marriage to Shelly with whom he shares five children, and a subsequent marriage to Kelly Yazdi that ended in 2023. Kendra Scott also has a history of relationships, sharing two sons with ex-husband John Scott and another son, Grey, with ex-partner Matt Davis. Their shared experiences of navigating past relationships undoubtedly shaped their understanding and appreciation of family, which plays a pivotal role in their current relationship.
Their public appearances and social media posts have highlighted their growing affection. At the American Music Awards, Brown wore a striking black suit topped off with a wide-brimmed hat, while Scott dazzled in a silver gown. Both took to Instagram to celebrate their special night, with Brown capturing his joy with the caption, “Hit the @amas red carpet with the best date by my side.” Scott echoed this sentiment, expressing immense pride in Brown for receiving the inaugural Veteran’s Voice Award that evening, emphasizing her admiration for his character, service, and heart.
As their romance flourished, Scott began to share glimpses of their relationship with her followers. In June 2025, she posted loving photos of the couple, quoting a song from the Zac Brown Band: “Whenever I’m with you, I ain’t worried about it.” Brown complimented Scott in the comments, affirming the sense of home and adventure he feels with her, which illustrates the deep emotional connection that has blossomed between them.
By July 2025, just two months after their red carpet debut, the couple announced their engagement, further solidifying their love. They conveyed their joy to People, stating, “We are so happy and grateful that we found each other.” Brown elaborated on their relationship in an interview, expressing how finding someone with such similar values and alignment was a transformative experience for him, setting this relationship apart from any prior connections he had.
As Brown and Scott venture further into their relationship, they continue to exhibit a strong partnership marked by shared adventures, mutual respect, and a profound connection that promises a bright future together. Their journey reflects not only their love for each other but also their collaborative spirit, as they navigate their lives as co-parents, artists, and philanthropists devoted to making a difference in their communities.
