Larsa Younan
Scottie’s longest relationship was with Larsa Younan, whom he married in 1997. They have four children together: Scotty Jr. (born 2000), Preston (born 2002), Justin (born 2005), and Sophia (born 2008).
In 2016, Scottie filed for divorce. In a statement to E! at the time, a rep for Larsa confirmed the news and asked for privacy: “After careful consideration and 19 years together, Larsa and Scottie have each filed for dissolution of their marriage. Although they are no longer to be married, Larsa remains hopeful that she and Scottie will always do what is best for their 4 beautiful children and jointly raise them with love and respect. She would like to thank everyone for their understanding and kindly ask for privacy from the media during this difficult time of transition for her family.”
The couple reconciled in early 2017, according to People, but in 2018, they split again, this time with Larsa filing for divorce.
