Zac Brown unveils his romance with Kendra Scott on the 2025 American Music Awards red carpet.
That's right! Zac Brown and Kendra Scott made their red-carpet debut as a couple at the 2025 American Music Awards on May 26. The country star and the jewelry designer looked stunning—Zac in a classic black suit and wide-brimmed hat, and Kendra in a dazzling silver gown with a scarf draped over one shoulder as well as dazzling silver jewelry to match.
“Hit the @amas with the best date by my side,” Shortly after leaving the red carpet, Kendra wrote a caption for her Instagram photo. “Hit the @amas red carpet with the best date by my side. 💙 Ready to soak it all in and have some fun tonight!!”
This marks Zac's first public relationship since his high-profile divorce from Kelly Yazdi in December 2023, which was followed by legal disputes over social media posts. Despite the drama, Zac and Kendra seemed all smiles at the AMAs, celebrating their new romance.

"We are in the process of divorce," They made the announcement at the moment in a joint statement to Billboard. "Our mutual respect for one another remains. We wish each other the best and will always appreciate our time together. As we navigate this personal matter, we simply request privacy during this time."
Zac, who has five children with his ex-wife Shelly Brown, then filed an emergency temporary restraining order to force Kelly to remove an Instagram post that he claimed damaged his reputation, even though the couple at the time claimed their relationship had ended peacefully.
In a harsh social media post, Kelly chastised the lawsuit and did not mince words in her defense.
"No one—not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers," She added a caption to a TikTok video from May 19. "May silence my right to freely express myself through art or, although I have to date declined to do so publicly, to speak about the circumstances of our pending divorce."
Two weeks later, the founder of Wild Ride declared once again that she "will not be threatened or intimidated into submission" during their highly publicized divorce.
“If Zac continues to pursue his ill-fated quest for a court injunction to silence me, or again publicly defames me or accuses me of dishonesty,” In June of last year, Kelly posted on Instagram. “I will meet him in court fully loaded with the truth about what has happened over the course of our relationship."
On the AMA's red carpet, Zac and Kendra's hard launch was sure to draw attention.
