Who Is Marissa Springer? Mystery Woman In Desmond Scott’s Viral Clip Identified

Desmond Scott was seen kissing a mystery woman just days after his estranged wife, Kristy, filed for divorce. As Scott’s divorce made headlines, attention quickly shifted to the woman who was seen seated

in his lap in a clip from a Houston bar. That woman has been identified as Marissa Springer, a Houston-based model, influencer and graduate student.

Springer, 24, began trending after TMZ published footage showing her kissing Desmond.

Who Is Marissa Springer?

Springer is currently pursuing an MBA at the University of Houston through the Bauer Graduate & Professional Programs. She already holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing and management and has spent years building a presence across fashion, beauty and digital media.

Her entry into the industry started early. As a teenager, Springer made money doing makeup for school dances, weddings and local events. She later earned a cosmetology license and began modeling at 17, slowly expanding her portfolio with paid shoots and brand work.

In a profile shared by UH Bauer, Springer spoke candidly about how college helped her come out of her shell. “Before college I was scared to talk to anybody. Bauer taught me about networking and self-marketing and helped me have the confidence to start going the extra mile when I was on shoots,” she said.

Today, she balances modeling with content creation, brand collaborations, music video appearances, and short-form comedy clips about student life.

Inside The Viral Houston Bar Moment

The video, filmed on January 11, 2026, shows Scott sitting at Houston bar Sante with Springer perched on his lap. The two kiss, laugh, and lean into each other, seemingly unaware – or unconcerned – that they are being recorded.

According to sources cited by TMZ, Scott and Springer met earlier that night through a mutual friend and stayed at the bar together after what was described as an instant spark.

The footage surfaced a day after Kristy Sarah Scott filed for divorce in Harris County, Texas, citing infidelity and stating reconciliation was not possible. The close timing fueled speculation online, though no direct link between Springer and the divorce allegations has been established.

TMZ sources also claim Springer believed Scott was single and was unaware of his influencer-level fame when they met.

Where Desmond Scott Stands Now

After the divorce filing became public, Scott addressed the situation in an Instagram Story. “Kristy is the mother of my children, and that will always come first. I remain fully committed to being an active, present, and loving parent to our boys, as I have always been,” he wrote.

He also acknowledged his mistakes. “During this period, I made choices that I am not proud of. I took responsibility for those actions, I shared this with her directly and personally, and ultimately we decided to divorce. I ask for privacy and compassion as we navigate this difficult chapter of our lives,” he added.

Scott and Kristy were married for more than 11 years and share two sons, Vance and Westin. Neither Scott nor Springer has publicly commented on the viral video itself.
