The mystery woman spotted kissing Desmond Scott amid his divorce from Kristy Scott has now been identified.
Us Weekly can confirm that model Marissa Springer, 24, was the woman kissing Desmond at the Houston, Texas, bar. Springer told Us that Desmond was out at the bar with his friends and “in good spirits.”
The PDA-filled moment made headlines on Thursday, January 15, after TMZ obtained the footage. Us Weekly reached out to Desmond for comment at the time.
News broke earlier this month that Kristy filed for divorce from Desmond after 11 years of marriage. In the filing obtained by Us, Kristy cited alleged infidelity as the reason for her split from Desmond.
Kristy, who goes by Kristy Sarah online, noted that there is no chance of reconciliation and that the pair would “soon stop living together as husband and wife.” Us Weekly reached out for comment at the time.
Desmond, for his part, broke his silence on Kristy’s divorce filing on January 10, sharing that he made “choices” that he was “not proud of.” Kristy has yet to publicly address Desmond’s statement or the divorce filing.
