IN May 2024, Scott and Jaclyn Stapp revealed that after 18 years of experiencing the highs and lows of marriage, they were splitting up.
The news comes just weeks before Creed is set to go on a months-long reunion tour after a 12-year hiatus, leaving Jaclyn to tackle parenting duties solo as she looks after the couple's several children.
How many kids do Scott and Jaclyn Stapp have?
Scott and Jaclyn Stapp have welcomed three children together during their 18-year marriage.
They're parents to one daughter, Milan, and two sons, Daniel and Anthony.
Milan was born on January 4, 2007, Daniel was born on July 4, 2010, and Anthony was born in November 2017.
Scott also has one son from his previous relationship, Jagger.
He was briefly married to Hillaree Burns between 1997 and 1998.
After sixteen months of marriage, the duo divorced, and Scott retained full custody of Jagger, born on October 21, 1998.
Scott has called his four children his "purpose" in life.
"I never had a family like this," he revealed to People.
"They've really demonstrated to me what a family is all about, and having each other's back and sticking together."
"I've got to see what a real family is in action, and hopefully we'll be able to carry that forward no matter how the story unfolds," he added.
Aside from his daddy duties, Scott is also a proud grandfather to Jagger's son, Cash.
<!-- End of Brightcove Player --> "I have a beautiful, beautiful grandson," Scott told People in March 2024.
"I don't feel like a grandpa! I look at myself and I'm like, when I was a kid, grandpas had gray hair and a cane."
"So maybe it's the food and the vitamins and everything else we've learned on how to better take care of ourselves."
"But a grandpa I am. And a proud one at that," he added.
Scott also revealed that he's hoping to break "generational curses" when it comes to his family – kids and grandkids included.
"I feel like my role in my kids' life is just to love and encourage and take care of them and let them know that I'm always going to be there for them no matter what," he said.
"They make me want to be a better man… I just want to make them proud, and be a father they can look up to and say, 'That's my dad. I'm proud of him.'"
When did Scott and Jaclyn get married?
Scott and Jaclyn got married on February 11, 2006.
They tied the knot at the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, a European-inspired estate in Miami's Biscayne Bay.
Scott's son from his previous relationship, Jagger, then seven-years-old, served as his best man.
Scott and Jaclyn first met at a Muscular Dystrophy Association Gala in New York in January 2005.
Jaclyn was reportedly attending the gala as part of her charitable work for her 2004 Miss New York USA title.
They quickly hit it off, and got engaged towards the end of the year.
Aside from her work as a beauty queen, Jaclyn had also been appointed as director of public affairs for the Scott Stapp Foundation by her beau.
The organization is focused on promoting healthy parent-child relationships.
Just hours after their wedding ceremony, while en route to Hawaii for their honeymoon, Scott was arrested for public intoxication at the Los Angeles International Airport.
He reportedly registered a 0.18 blood alcohol content, more than twice the legal limit.
In March 2024, Scott opened up about his past struggles with alcohol and substance abuse to People, and revealed that his now estranged wife "saved" him.
"Relationships teach you a lot of things, good and bad, and I've learned that no matter how they resolve or how they continue, that each stage in each season of the relationship is most definitely a learning experience," Stapp said.
"You have to look back at it as such, no matter what."
"Reframing it no matter the circumstances precipitates growth and helps you become a better human being and a better partner," he added.
Despite their at-times rocky relationship, there was clearly a lot of love between Scott and Jaclyn over their 18-year marriage.
In 2020, Scott posted a heartwarming tribute to Jaclyn on his Facebook, celebrating the duo's 14-year wedding anniversary.
"14 years ago today, an angel Jaclyn Stapp said 'I do,'" he wrote alongside a prayer hands emoji.
"She would forever change the course of my life. Her love, dedication, loyalty, perseverance, commitment, and friendship has saved my life and given me a life beyond my wildest dreams."
"Jaclyn, you have shown me that true love and faith has no end, just new beginnings."
"Thank you for your love, your friendship, our 3 beautiful children, and the family you have given me."
"You are the miracle I begged God for during the most difficult days of my life. You are the answer to my prayers."
"You have made me a better man in every way. You're my ride or die. Happy anniversary, my love. I thank God for you everyday," he added, alongside another prayer hands emoji and the hashtags #14years and #truelove.

When did Jaclyn file for divorce?
On Friday, May 10, 2024, TMZ broke the news that Scott and Jaclyn Stapp were getting divorced.
The duo have been married for nearly two decades.
Scott initially filed his divorce petition in May 2023, and one year later, has officially decided to move on.
This isn't the first time the couple have "almost" split up, either.
Jaclyn previously filed for divorce in 2014, 2018, and 2022.
All of the court documents were filed in Williamson County, Tennessee.
She called it off all three times, choosing to prioritize the duo's children and her family above her at-times rocky relationship with the Creed frontman.
News of the divorce broke just weeks before Creed is set to reunite and go on tour for the first time in over a decade.
The rock band last toured in 2012 and is kicking off their reunion tour with a performance on Wednesday, July 17, 2024, in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
"Out of respect for their family, Scott intends to navigate this difficult time privately," a rep for the rocker told People.
"Scott and Jaclyn had determined the marriage was over but continued to try to make it work," the representative added.
