The Last Alaskans was a hit show that premiered 4 seasons between 2015 to 2019. With the final episode aired on 27 January 2019, the show ended with some good as well as bad memories.

Troubled Love life behind the scenes

The post reads, “The divorce itself has been finalized for months now. Scott and I haven’t been together in over 2 years.”

Heimo’s daughter also shared that in her marriage she lost herself, and everything she was, her family and friends over it. She wanted her husband on her side but Scott cheated her for someone else.

“I wanted him and only him. He wanted me and all the others. He is a damn good man. One hell of a good person,” Mrs. Nelson penned, “I will never again stand by someone who will repeatedly cheat over and over again for years to validate himself.”

Further, Krin shared she did her best to protect their marriage but couldn’t and decided to walk away. “I even lashed out and acted terribly because I was hurt and I was wrong for doing so. I’m happy to finally be completely done,” she added.

As per the Cinemaholic report, Krin’s ex-husband Scroll has been seeing a lady named Zoe Rabjohns, who is professionally a tattoo artist and a painter.

Raising a son as a single mother
