Country music star Zac Brown, the charismatic lead singer of the Zac Brown Band, has five wonderful children from his previous marriage to jewelry designer Shelly Brown. If you’ve been keeping up with the singer’s personal life, you might know that Zac tied the knot with model and actress Kelly Yazdi in late August 2023. But long before this chapter in his life, Zac was busy raising five kids with his ex-wife, Shelly.
When Zac and Shelly announced their split in October 2018, they released a heartfelt joint statement that emphasized their unwavering commitment to their family. They said, “We have led a whirlwind life together, growing into a beautiful family with five amazing children. While life will be rearranging a bit, our love and commitment to our family will always be there.”
The couple also added, “Family comes in all different forms. Instead of focusing on our decision, we’d like to encourage everyone to take a moment to send love to your own family, in honor of ours.” It’s a touching sentiment that reflects their dedication to keeping their family close and cherished, even as they navigate life’s changes.
