Desmond opened up about his split from Kristy on his Instagram Stories on Jan. 10. “I want to begin by apologizing to Kristy, our family, and everyone who has been impacted by the public attention surrounding this situation,” he began. “I know this news has been disappointing for many, and I’m truly sorry for the hurt it has caused.”
“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,” he continued.
Desmond wrote that he and Kristy “faced challenges and made sincere efforts to work through them,” but after he told her he “wanted to separate” at the end of 2025, the father of two explained he eventually “made choices that I am not proud of.”
“I took responsibility for those actions. I shared this with her directly and personally, and ultimately we decided to divorce,” Desmond concluded, before asking for privacy.
