Stapp actually filed for divorce last May. The rock star and Jaclyn share three children.
Scott Stapp and Jaclyn are headed for divorce, ET has confirmed.
The Creed frontman and Jaclyn are calling it quits after 18 years of marriage and they're moving forward after each filed separately. Jaclyn first filed for divorce in June 2022 before withdrawing the papers, followed by Stapp last May.
A rep for Jaclyn tells ET, "It's been a long battle and while this isn't the future she envisioned, she wishes him the best." The rep added, "The welfare of their children will always be her utmost concern and kindly asks for privacy during this personal time."
Jaclyn and Stapp share three children -- daughter Milán, 17, and sons Daniel, 13, and Anthony, 6. Stapp also shares 25-year-old son, Jagger, from his previous marriage to Hilaree Burns.
A spokesperson for the rock star told People, "Out of respect for their family, Scott intends to navigate this difficult time privately."
The "With Arms Wide Open" singer and Jaclyn, who is the director of Miss Florida USA, tied the knot in 2006.
After news of the divorce made headlines, Stapp took to his Instagram Story on Saturday and posted a video of a motivational speaker touching on leaving others with dignity.
"Speak without being offensive. Listen without being defensive. And always leave your opponent with their dignity," the man says in the video.
It was only in March when Stapp opened up to People about the ups and downs of marriage.
"Relationships teach you a lot of things, good and bad, and I've learned that no matter how they resolve or how they continue, that each stage in each season of the relationship is most definitely a learning experience," he said. "You have to look back at it as such, no matter what, and you have to reframe it. Reframing it no matter what the circumstance is precipitates growth and helps you become a better human being and a better partner."
