Since the news of Zac Brown’s impending divorce from his second wife Kelly Yazdi broke out, some fans have been curious about the reasons behind it. As the lead singer of the Zac Brown Band, the singer-songwriter has received multiple Grammies, including the Best Country Album accolade for Uncaged (2012).
For those fans who want to know more about Zac Brown’s ex-wife, the dissolution of their relationship, and the restraining order that he filed against her, here are all the key details.
Who is Kelly Yazdi, Zac Brown’s ex-wife?
Zac Brown’s ex-wife Kelly Yazdi is a model, actress, stunt performer, and producer of Iranian-Scandinavian background.
Born on January 25, 1991, Yazdi grew up in Minnesota before relocating to Los Angeles when she was a teenager. She has played various minor characters in projects such as The Martial Arts Kid (2015), The Beautiful Ones (2017), and Hawaii Five-0 (2010-2020). Yazdi is also the founder of Ride Wild, a Powersport and adventuring platform for women.
When did Zac Brown and Kelly Yazdi divorce?
In December 2023, Zac Brown and Kelly Yazdi announced that they were divorcing after only four months of marriage.
The couple tied the knot in August 2023. Brown was previously married to his first wife Shelly for 12 years. They are parents of a son and four daughters.
Why did Zac Brown file a restraining order against Kelly Yazdi?
In an Instagram post that Kelly Yazdi shared on May 4, she seemingly accuses Zac Brown of “gaslighting,” “threatening,” and “stonewalling,” though she never mentions him by name.
This prompted the Zac Brown Band frontman to file a restraining order against his estranged wife, claiming that she had overstepped an employee and confidentiality agreement as a former employee of the Zac Brown Collective, Inc.
According to Fox News, a representative of Zac Brown shared a statement regarding the restraining order on behalf of the singer. It reads, “After much deliberation, I took the steps necessary to enforce an agreement between us to maintain personal and business affairs in confidence and to protect my family from online harassment and speculation. My only hope is for us to keep private matters private and to move forward with the mutual respect we had agreed to show one another when we parted ways.”
The same news report indicates that a court in Georgia has already granted the temporary restraining order, which will compel Kelly Yazdi to remove the Instagram post mentioned above. Meanwhile, she has responded to the restraining order by sharing a detailed statement on TikTok, calling the allegations against her “legally meritless.”
