Direct answer: There are two main sets of publicly reported rumors and claims about Scott Adams’s ex-wives—about Shelly Miles (also reported as Shelly Adams) and about Kristina Basham—and most relate to caregiving and his health, the timeline and causes of their splits, and fallout after Adams’s controversial public statements.

Background on the ex-wives

  • Shelly Miles (married 2006–2014) was publicly described as a former spouse who later helped care for Adams during his illness, and she gave media interviews about his hospice care and death in early 2026.
  • Kristina Basham (married 2020–2022) is his more recent ex-wife; their marriage ended after roughly two years and press coverage linked the split to personal differences and to the wider fallout from Adams’s public controversies in 2023–2025.

Common rumors and claims (what people have circulated)

  • That Shelly was acting as Adams’s primary caregiver during his final days and that she publicly announced his declining condition and later his death; these reports appear in multiple outlets citing her comments to media.
  • That Kristina Basham left or divorced Adams because of the controversies he created online (including racist remarks in 2023) and because of a large age gap and personal incompatibility; several entertainment sites and forum posts point to those factors as explanations for their divorce.
  • Questions about family tragedy and caregiving: reporting notes the family endured losses and that Shelly had remained on friendly terms with Adams after their divorce and helped with caregiving during his illness.

What’s verified vs. what’s rumor

  • Verified (reported by mainstream outlets): Adams’s marriages and divorce dates, Shelly’s public statements about his hospice care, and coverage that Adams faced public backlash after controversial remarks in 2023; these items are documented in news reports and profiles.
  • Unverified or speculative: private motives for each divorce beyond the basic public accounts, private family dynamics not described directly by those involved, and fringe forum allegations without sourcing; such items should be treated as rumor unless corroborated by primary reporting or direct statements from the people involved.

Context and timeline (short)

  • 2006–2014: Adams married Shelly Miles; they divorced in 2014 but reportedly stayed on relatively friendly terms.
  • 2020–2022: Adams married Kristina Basham; the marriage ended after about two years, with public discussion linking the split to personal differences and later controversies.
  • 2023–2026: Adams’s public controversies and his health decline were widely covered; Shelly Miles made public comments about his hospice care and eventual death, which many outlets reported.

How to treat what you read

  • Prefer mainstream outlets and direct quotes (interviews, social posts from verified accounts) for factual claims. Reports that repeat third‑hand assertions or unsourced forum posts are rumor until corroborated.
  • If you need a specific claim checked (for example: “Did Shelly announce his death on X date?” or “Did Kristina file for divorce on a particular date?”), I can look up the primary article or statement and cite it directly.

Bottom note: Information gathered from public forums or data available on the internet and portrayed here. Would you like me to pull the specific articles that report Shelly’s statements about hospice care or the timeline of Adams’s marriages so you can read the original quotes?
