The former couple share three children together: daughter Milan, 17, and sons Daniel, 13, and Anthony, 6. Scott has another son, Jagger, 25, with his ex-wife, Hillaree Burns.
Jaclyn previously served as Stapp’s co-manager. He signed with Shelter Management in 2020.
In 2014, Stapp suffered a self-described “psychotic break,” during which the singer, in a haze of drugs and alcohol, became convinced that his family was involved in a terrorist plot. Following a period of intensive therapy, Stapp and his wife began rebuilding their life together. Part of that experience was documented on VH1’s Couples Therapy in 2015.
Stapp is currently focusing on his music. The artist’s mega-selling hard rock group Creed reunited earlier this year with a slate of concerts that continue growing due to overwhelming ticket demand.
“So many positive things have already happened that are just mind-blowing, in terms of the level of Creed’s resurgence,” Stapp recently told Billboard.
The artist is also in the midst of a solo tour in support of his fourth album, Higher Power, which dropped through Napalm Records in March. The set was preceded by the highest-charting single of his non-Creed career, the hard-charging title track, which has climbed to No. 12 on Mainstream Rock Airplay and earned 1.4 million streams to date, according to Luminate.

Gavin Rossdale got vulnerable about his divorce from Gwen Stefani while speaking to Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on their Amy and T.J. podcast on Thursday (May 21).
Without naming her directly, the 58-year-old rocker spoke about Stefani while bonding with the former Good Morning America anchors — whose respective divorces from their former partners and subsequent romance turned into major headline fodder in 2023 — over going through relationship drama in the public eye.
“My clearest, simplest shame,” he began. “I never thought I’d ever get divorced. Sometimes I wish that, when you see the kids, there’s a loss. It would be nice if there was more of a connection with the person that made them with me.”

Rossdale and the No Doubt frontwoman tied the knot in 2002 after six years of dating, but parted ways in 2015. The pair share three children — 17-year-old Kingston, 15-year-old Zuma, and 10-year-old Apollo.
Stefani has since remarried to Blake Shelton, whom she met on The Voice, and Rossdale is now dating musician Xhoana.
“I feel bad for my kids,” Rossdale continued on the podcast. “I wish I could have just figured out a way to not have that in their lives. It wasn’t fun for me to be from a broken home … It can be quite debilitating for kids. The overriding thing is you don’t want to let your kids down.”
The musician also added, “I’d never wanna overly say anything negative about their mom … It’s not right.”
The “Love Remains The Same” singer — whose band will celebrate its 30th anniversary by embarking on a 32-date North American tour in July — opened up about his parenting setup with Stefani last year. “I think you can go one of two ways,” he revealed. “You can either do everything together and really co-parent and see how that goes, or you can just parent. And I think we just parent.”
“We’re really different people,” he added at the time. “I don’t think there’s much similarity in the way we bring them up but I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they’d like to inherit and move on with and which part of themselves come out of the whole process.”
