Why did Scooter Braun and wife Yael Cohen split? Couple parts ways after 7 years of marriage
If a professional feud with Taylor Swift over master recordings was not enough, looks like Scooter Braun’s personal life has also gone into shambles. Braun, who manages top global musicians such as Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Demi Lovato, seems to be splitting with his wife Yael Cohen Braun after seven years of blissful marriage.
According to Page Six, the music mogul is heading in a different direction as the couple has decided to take a break. However, the duo has no plans of taking a divorce, as of now. A source close to the publication spilled the beans on the same saying, “They’re friends.” Insiders also shed further light on the situation saying the common friends of Scooter and Yael were already aware of the separation for more than a month. Scooter Braun, who has 3.5 million followers on his official Instagram account, had shared a love-filled post on July 6 to mark the seventh anniversary with Yael.

Scooter Braun’s relationship with Yael Cohen Braun
Scooter Braun and Yael Cohen apparently started dating in 2013 and they tied the knot on July 6, 2014. The couple currently has three kids namely Jagger, 6, Levi, 4, and Hart, 2. Since both of them have equally successful careers, they stay occupied with work but try their best to take out time for date nights. Speaking on similar lines, Yael in 2020 told Us Weekly, “Sometimes they’re really exciting and we go and do something fun where we go and take a night with friends and do something that we love,” She added, “And sometimes it’s literally just making dinner and watching Love Is Blind on the couch, which is equally as exciting, not gonna lie.”
Whilst talking about giving each other space and figuring things out, she said, “Sometimes things are going to have more attention and sometimes things are going to have less attention, but knowing that we signed up for better or for worse and giving each other what we need in that moment.” Yael continued, “I look at everything through the lens of 20 years down the road. Am I going to look back and be proud of how we responded to something, how we dealt with something, how we figured it out? I always want the answer to be ‘yes.’”
