Zac Brown: 'Never Too Late' to Wed Kendra Scott (Exclusive)
In the world of country music, where heartbreak ballads often steal the spotlight, Zac Brown is flipping the script with a love story that's equal parts epic romance and hard-won wisdom.
The Zac Brown Band frontman, 47, sat down exclusively with *People* magazine to gush about his fiancée, the powerhouse jewelry designer Kendra Scott, 51—proving that second (or third) chances at love can be the sweetest.
"You know, it’s never too late to get it right," Brown shared, his voice warm with the kind of gratitude that comes from life's detours.
"You got to keep fighting for love and believe in that. So I’m blessed."
It's a sentiment that resonates deeply for Brown, who's navigated the highs and lows of fame, family, and fatherhood.
Divorced from his first wife, Shelly, in 2021 after 12 years and five kids, Brown has been open about the lessons learned along the way. But with Scott, everything clicks into place like a perfectly set diamond.
The couple, who blend a whopping eight children from previous relationships, announced their engagement in July 2025, sending fans into a frenzy of heart emojis and well-wishes.
Their first red-carpet moment together? Strutting hand-in-hand at the American Music Awards in March 2025, where Scott's signature sparkle—both literal and figurative—lit up the night.
Brown didn't just pop the question; he orchestrated a safari-sized spectacle that sounds straight out of a rom-com directed by Steven Spielberg.
In a recent chat with *Fox News*, he spilled the beans on the proposal: a private river barge cruise at sunset, flanked by 30 elephants lumbering along the riverbank, flocks of birds wheeling overhead, and even hippos splashing in the distance.
"Kendra’s such an amazing human being," Brown raved, his eyes undoubtedly twinkling at the memory.
"We share so much in the way we love our family, the way we protect our people and our business, the way that we fight for good things in our philanthropy."
It's the kind of grand gesture that matches Scott's own empire-building vibe—she's the founder of the billion-dollar Kendra Scott jewelry brand, known for its colorful gems and empowering ethos.
What makes this union feel like destiny, though, is the shared scars and triumphs. "It’s not our first go-around, but it’s definitely so much different than anything I’ve experienced before," Brown admitted to *Fox News*.
"I’m so grateful that we found each other and that we can relate to being leaders. We can relate and support each other on a level that just hasn’t happened before."
Introduced by a mutual friend earlier this year, the pair bonded over their fierce dedication to family and causes close to their hearts.
Scott, a mom of three, brings a Texas-sized spirit to the table, while Brown's Southern roots and five kids create a ready-made blended brood that's already buzzing with energy.
For Brown, this engagement isn't just a personal win—it's fuel for his creative fire.
"It just adds so much energy to everything else," he enthused.
"More to give to music, more to give to our families and everything."
Fans can expect that vibe to ripple into his upcoming projects, including a new album and Sphere shows in Las Vegas, all while he shakes off the shadows of a recent lawsuit with his ex-wife.
Meanwhile, Scott's fans are eyeing custom engagement rings that might soon become collector's items—Brown reportedly designed hers with a pink sapphire centerpiece, nodding to her brand's playful palette.
As they gear up for wedding bells (no word yet on elephants in the aisle), Brown and Scott are a reminder that love doesn't punch a clock.
It's messy, it's magical, and yeah—it's never too late.
In a genre full of "what ifs," their story is a resounding "what now?" And we're here for every harmonious note.
