Designer Kendra Scott and country music icon Zac Brown are embarking on a joyful new chapter, not just as fiancés, but as partners in blending their expansive families. With a combined total of eight children, the couple expresses profound happiness at the harmonious connection their children have formed, highlighting that the family bond is the most beautiful aspect of their new life together.
In a world often focused on individual fame, designer Kendra Scott and Grammy-winning artist Zac Brown are sharing a refreshingly candid glimpse into their deeply personal journey of blending families. The couple, recently engaged, has discovered an “overwhelming” sense of happiness in watching their eight children — four boys and four girls ranging in age from 11 to 24 — forge a strong connection.
A Family United: Eight Children and Counting
Speaking on the October 28, 2025, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, Kendra Scott, 51, revealed the immense joy she and Zac Brown, 47, feel about their integrated household. “We are just having the time of our life,” Scott shared, emphasizing the natural connection among their children. She beautifully articulated the sentiment, stating, “When you meet somebody and fall in love, that’s incredible. But then when you see your family connect and how beautiful they all get along, it’s overwhelming how happy that is.” This heartfelt declaration underscores the couple’s commitment to building a cohesive family unit.
The blended family includes a diverse group of young adults and teenagers, each bringing their unique dynamic to the fold. Kendra Scott is a mother of three sons:
- Cade, 24, and Beck, 21, from her first marriage to John Scott.
- Grey, 12, from her second marriage to Matt Davis.
She was also married to Thomas Evans prior to her relationship with Brown, though they did not have children together.
Meanwhile, Zac Brown is a father to five children from his previous marriage of 12 years to Shelly Brown:
- Son: Alexander, 11.
- Daughters: Justice, 18, Lucy, 17, Georgia, 15, and Joni, 14.
Brown had a brief marriage to Kelly Yazdi in 2023 before their separation in December of the same year.
A Romance Rooted in Shared Values
The couple’s relationship blossomed quietly before they made their official red carpet debut at the 2025 American Music Awards in May. An insider shared with Us Weekly that “shared family value has been a big part of their connection,” describing them as “not just partners — they’re teammates.” This emphasis on family, even before their engagement, clearly set the foundation for their strong bond.
Just two months after their public debut, Zac Brown and Kendra Scott announced their engagement. The proposal, which occurred during a “golden hour” boat ride in Africa, was nothing short of magical. Kendra recalled the moment on Today With Jenna & Friends: “We danced together on the boat. We listened to the song, ‘I may not be your first, but I’ll be your last.’ … I think I just said, ‘Yes, yes, yes’ before he even got out, ‘Will you marry me?’”
Brown’s thoughtful gesture extended to the engagement ring itself. He personally selected a pink diamond engagement ring, telling Scott, “Baby, it’s the rarest, just like you.” This personal touch deeply resonated with Kendra, who affectionately calls the “Chicken Fried” singer “the cutest thing you’ve ever seen” and “the most darling person I’ve ever [known].”
Embracing a Future Together
For Kendra Scott, who has navigated multiple relationships, finding Zac Brown has been a testament to perseverance and faith in love. She offered a powerful message to viewers, encouraging them to “Never give up. It’s never too late to get it right. … believe in love. It can still happen.” Her journey underscores the idea that finding one’s “prince charming” is possible, regardless of past experiences. Scott expressed her profound contentment, stating, “I am so happy and so grateful” to have found her true love in Zac.
Zac Brown reciprocates this deep affection, confirming his feelings in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly in July. He described his connection with Scott as “totally different than anything I’ve ever had before,” highlighting their shared mindset and alignment. This mutual admiration and respect for each other, and for the families they are creating together, truly exemplify a love story that resonates deeply with fans and the wider public alike. Their focus on the collective happiness of their children demonstrates a profound commitment that extends beyond their individual romance.
