Scott was arrested in 2020 for a domestic violence incident at his home.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star was rumored to have gone on a number of secret dates with the runway model throughout the summer of 2015.

The 45-year-old is nearly twice as old as 26-year-old Kendall, but that didn't deter the short-term couple.
