As they navigated the unknowns of the past couple of years,KelleyandScott Wolfalso discovered some happy truths about each other and their three children.
“We all had this time and space to consider everything,” says theParty of Fivealum, 53, who has been wed to life coach and author Kelley since 2004. “It was a chance to look each other in the eye and connect. And we discovered that we just really like each other!”
Adds Kelley, 47: “The kids are growing up so fast. So there’s a part of my heart that just wants to hold on and do less so we can spend more time with them. I’m not ready to give that back.”
Indeed, the parents of Jackson, 13, Miller, 9, and Lucy, 7, are relishing in “this really great pocket where they still want to be around us for the most part,” says Scott. “We’re still hanging onto our cred!”

“There are so many places you can get stuck in life,” says Kelley. “I’m all about how we can examine our thoughts, recognize when we are trapped in a certain mindset and then shift.”
“I feel so lucky to be with someone who can recognize when something needs to be aired out,” says Scott. “I’m always open to a conversation. And I knew in my guts that Kelley was going to be an incredible partner and mom and friend, but to see her grow and thrive and be a part of her life, it’s the most valuable thing in the world.”
Scott is also reflective when it comes toParty of Five, the hit 90s series that made him a household name.
“I’m really proud of it,” he says. “It was impactful- I still have people come up and emotionally talk about how it changed their lives. So that was really a gift.”
In the end, despite professional twists and turns, Scott says he’s grateful to have found a middle ground between work and home.
“When I was younger, before I had a family, there was something so fun about that roller coaster ride,” he says of his burgeoning career. “But I’ve just been blessed with this great balance. Jackson said to me the other day when we were watching the Kardashians special, ‘Dad, I’m really glad you’re not that famous.’ And I said, ‘Me too!'”
