Zac Brown Engaged to Kendra Scott 2 Months After Red Carpet Debut
Originally appeared on E! Online Zac Brown is adding a new piece of jewelry to Kendra Scott's collection. Nearly two months after the jewelry designer and the Zac Brown Band frontman debuted their romance at the 2025 American Music Awards, the couple shared that they are engaged. "We are so happy and grateful," Kendra, 51, and Zac, 46, told People shortly after the Grammy winner popped the question, 'that we found each other.' And while they posed for photos in front of a stunning sunset, the jewelry mogul couldn't help but show off her dazzling pink diamond on that finger. The pair hard-launched their relationship just two months ago on the American Music Awards red carpet—and they weren't shy about cozying up to the cameras. 'Hit the @amas with the best date by my side,' Zac captioned his Instagram post moments after stepping off the carpet. 'Ready to soak it all in and have some fun tonight!' More from E! Online How Bryan Kohberger's Mom and Sister Reacted in Court to Idaho Murder Sentencing Rachel Zegler Leaves Evita Performance Mid-Show Bryan Kohberger Reacts to Kaylee Goncalves' Sister Saying He'll Get "Big Ds" in Prison Soon after, Kendra—who shares sons Cade, 23, and Beck, 21, with ex-husband John Scott as well as son Grey, 11, with ex-husband Matt Davis—penned a social media post of her own. 'What an unforgettable night at the @amas,' she wrote on Instagram that same day. 'We danced, we laughed, and seeing Zac honored with the inaugural Veteran's Voice Award was the highlight of it all.' '@zacbrown, I'm so incredibly proud of you—of your heart, your service, and the man you are,' she added. 'You couldn't deserve this more.' For Zac, this milestone comes less than two years after his complicated breakup with , following only four months of marriage in 2023. "We are in the process of divorce," they announced with a joint statement to Billboard at the time. "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." And while the two insisted that their relationship ended amicably at the time, the 'Chicken Fried' singer—who shares kids Justice, 18, Lucy, 17, Georgia, 16, Joni, 14, and Alexander, 11, with ex-wife —later filed an emergency temporary restraining order demanding that Kelly take down an Instagram post that he argued tarnished his public image. In response, Kelly rebuked the lawsuit and defended herself with a scathing social media message. "No one—not even Zac Brown with all of his money, power, celebrity, and lawyers," she captioned a May 19 TikTok video, "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."

Joe Hendry passes the torch to Mike Santana in TNA
TNA has two huge fan favorites at the top of the company with eyes on winning the world title from Trick Williams. That case wasn't settled at Slammiversary when Joe Hendry and Mike Santana both came up short in defeat. But, that was a three-way dance. Perhaps the singular focus of one-on-one could produce a different outcome. That still means TNA needs to decide on who will be that man. It looks like Hendry and Santana settled that issue on Impact (July 24, 2025). Hendry wrestled Santana in the television main event on Thursday night. TNA didn't do any hype promos. The matchup sold itself. Hendry opened with a handshake. The crowd was split with three-syllable chants of, 'Mike Santana,' and, 'We believe.' Santana accepted the gesture of respect. Match on! Tensions increased the longer the action spanned. Hendry went on a run for a fallaway slam, an Olympic slam, a pop-up powerbomb, and an Attitude Adjustment. Hendry could never hit the Standing Ovation finisher. Santana was able to escape Hendry's grip. Santana went on a run of his own for a rolling cutter and a frog splash. The finish came down to counter wrestling with a flurry of roll-ups back and forth. Santana gained the edge for a jackknife pin to win. After the match, it looked like Hendry passed the torch to Santana to be the man to save TNA from Trick Williams. The question is now when Santana will get another crack at the TNA World Championship. The answer would seem to be Bound For Glory on October 12, however, that leaves a lot of time in the way. The two special events prior to that PPV are Emergence on August 15 and Victory Road on September 26. Time will tell how Santana's story shakes out.
