"And the Father of the Year Award goes to Scott Wolf!" At least that's what fans are saying after his birthday tribute to his son, Miller.

The "Party of Five" star proudly celebrated Miller's 13th birthday on social media with a carousel of images that featured his estranged wife, Kelley Wolf. The gesture touched the hearts of fans, given the tumultuous nature of the former couple's separation.

Scott Wolf welcomed three children with his former partner, sons Jackson and Miller, alongside a daughter named Lucy. He tied the knot to Kelley Wolf in 2004 and seemingly enjoyed two decades of love before announcing the end of their marriage in June 2025.

The Touching Gesture Followed Kelley Wolf's Rehabilitation

Scott's birthday tribute came a month after Kelley missed a scheduled court appearance due to her rehabilitation. The Blast shared that the hearing stemmed from her arrest on charges of electronic communications harassment and electronic disclosure of personal identifying information.

The drama occurred during Kelley's persistent online attacks against Scott, where she accused him of keeping her away from her children and leaked his personal details.

The aftermath saw her ex calling the cops after receiving numerous unwanted calls and messages. The judge presiding over the case explained that Kelley had missed the hearing because she was undergoing treatment at a Utah rehabilitation facility.

Kelley's absence was presumably linked to her statements in a September 2 hearing, where she revealed her brother would take her to a facility for mental health treatment.

The Actor's Estranged Wife Attempted To Break Into Their Home

Months before her arrest, Kelley had sparked concerns about her online behavior after filming her attempt to break into her family's home. The Blast reported that the incident occurred in July after Scott dismissed the restraining order he had filed against her.

Kelley took fans on her journey to the property, meeting up with two officers who escorted her to the home. Although Kelley claimed she had told Scott about her intentions to visit to pack her things and get some money, the house was fully locked down upon her arrival.

Kelley repeatedly tried and failed to get into the home, including attempting to break in through the bedroom window of one of her sons. She lamented that she had $6 to her name and needed to access the money she had saved up at home.

Despite Kelley's tales of woes, her actions sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many calling her out for acting unhinged. The list included her oldest son, Jackson, who wrote: "This is insane mom what are you doing."

A month after this incident, The Blast shared that Kelley had lost her attempts to gain a new custody arrangement. The court upheld the terms of a July 15 ruling that gave Scott temporary sole physical custody of his three children, and Kelley supervised parenting time.

Kelley was only allowed three supervised video or phone calls per week, but could respond if her children initiated additional contact. Although she shared legal custody of the kids with Scott, her estranged husband had temporary "decision-making authority."

Will Scott Wolf's touching gestures towards his estranged wife lead to an amicable divorce?
