Scott Stapp, the lead singer of Creed, is currently putting his family first as he navigates through his divorce from his estranged wife, Jaclyn Strapp.

According to a source who exclusively spoke to We, it has been some time since their separation. Scott is now concentrating on spending quality time with his children and managing his hectic schedule ahead.

Scott has a daughter named Milan, who is 17 years old, and two sons named Daniel, 13, and Anthony, 9, with his wife Jaclyn. He also has a son named Jagger, who is 25, from his previous marriage to Hillaree Burns.

Scott and Jaclyn got married in July 2006, but their marriage ended after almost twenty years.

Jaclyn has decided to end her 18-year marriage with Scott after careful thought and prayer. A representative for Jaclyn shared with Us that although it has been a tough journey, she is looking towards the future and wishes him well.

The spokesperson added, “The welfare of their children will always be her utmost concern and kindly asks for privacy during this personal time.”

Scott's representative also spoke to Us about the situation, mentioning that the musician intends to handle this challenging time in private.

The couple, who are now estranged, have decided to proceed with a divorce. Initially, Jaclyn filed for divorce in 2022 but later withdrew her request. Scott then filed for divorce in May 2023, almost six months before announcing Creed's upcoming tour.

Scott recently reunited with Creed for two cruises with fans last month before their Summer of ‘99 tour, starting in July and visiting 40 cities in North America. While juggling his rockstar lifestyle, Scott is also busy raising his children with Jaclyn. He mentioned that his kids share his passion for music.

In a conversation with Esquire in March from Milan, Scott expressed his excitement about his daughter's musical interests. She is currently exploring various instruments, including the piano, guitar, and drums, and has even started recording music. Scott proudly shared that she has moved on from her Metallica phase to learning Nirvana songs after mastering all the Metallica riffs.

Scott mentioned that Milan has already learned several Creed songs. He also mentioned that she enjoys listening to pop artists, not just rock and metal. In fact, she likes a variety of music ranging from Taylor Swift to artists like SZA.

Scott’s sons also enjoy pop music, especially their father’s music.

One night, my son came across an article about SZA and me on my phone, or maybe I stumbled upon it. I asked him if he knew who she was, and he said yes, he listens to her. I then mentioned that she was talking about his dad. He was surprised and excited to learn that. It was a special moment for me to share that experience with my son. My youngest son, Anthony, particularly loves listening to his father’s music. Whenever he is in the car with me, he always asks to play the heaviest songs.
