Jewelry mogul Kendra Scott recently shared heartfelt details about her engagement to country music star Zac Brown and the “beautiful” reality of blending their two large families, which now includes eight children ranging in age from 11 to 24.
In a candid discussion on the October 28, 2025, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, entrepreneur Kendra Scott opened up about the profound experience of merging her family with that of her fiancé, Grammy-winning musician Zac Brown. The couple, with a combined eight children, is embracing this new chapter with enthusiasm and gratitude.
The Joy of Connection: Eight Children and a Unified Household
At 51, Kendra Scott, founder of her eponymous jewelry brand, and Zac Brown, 47, frontman of the Zac Brown Band, have embarked on a journey of blending two already established families. Their eight children span a significant age range, from 11 to 24, creating a dynamic and vibrant household.
Scott expressed immense joy about this new family structure, stating to Today With Jenna & Friends, “We are just having the time of our life.” She emphasized the deep happiness that comes from seeing their children connect:
“The family, that’s what’s so beautiful. 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.”
Kendra Scott’s Family Background
Kendra Scott is a mother of three sons from previous marriages:
- Cade, 24, and Beck, 21, from her first marriage to John Scott.
- Grey, 12, from her second marriage to Matt Davis.
Following her divorce from Davis in 2020, Scott was briefly married to Thomas Evans, with whom she shares no children, before beginning her relationship with Zac Brown.
Zac Brown’s Family Background
Country music icon Zac Brown has five children with his ex-wife, Shelly Brown, after 12 years of marriage:
- Son Alexander, 11.
- Daughters Justice, 18, Lucy, 17, Georgia, 15, and Joni, 14.
The former couple announced their split in 2018. Brown later married Kelly Yazdi in the summer of 2023, but their separation was announced in December of that year.
A Whirlwind Romance Culminating in Engagement
The relationship between Kendra Scott and Zac Brown evolved privately before becoming public. They made their red carpet debut at the 2025 American Music Awards in May, confirming their status as a couple. Just two months later, in July, the pair announced their engagement, solidifying their commitment to their blended future.
Scott fondly recounted the romantic African proposal. “It was golden hour. We danced together on the boat,” she shared with Today With Jenna & Friends. She revealed a touching detail about the moment, mentioning, “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 thoughtfulness extended to the engagement ring itself, which he personally selected. Scott described the pink diamond ring and Brown’s heartfelt words: “He said, ‘Baby, it’s the rarest, just like you.’ Could you die?”
Finding Love and Believing in Second Chances
Beyond the excitement of their engagement, Kendra Scott emphasized the personal growth and perseverance required to reach this point in her life. She praised Brown, calling him “the cutest thing you’ve ever seen” and “the most darling person I’ve ever [known].”
Her message of hope resonates widely, especially for those navigating complex personal journeys. “Never give up. It’s never too late to get it right,” Scott advised, encouraging others to “believe in love” because “it can still happen.” She concluded her reflections by expressing her profound happiness and gratitude for meeting and falling in love with Zac Brown, underscoring the success of their blended family endeavors.
