‘Top Chef’ winner Kelsey Barnard Clark’s divorce was finalized weeks before DUI arrest

“Top Chef” winner Kelsey Barnard Clark’s divorce was finalized just weeks before she was arrested on DUI charges, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

According to Alabama court documents, the chef’s split from now-ex-husband Deavours Woodham Clark — who works in security services — was settled on Dec. 29, 2025.

Kelsey, 36, is the one who filed for divorce in May 2025.

Meanwhile, Deavours, 41, moved out of the family home within the next two months, public records show.

The former couple — who tied the knot in April 2015 in Florida — agreed to share custody of their two children: son Monroe, 8, and daughter June, 5.

On Wednesday night, Kelsey was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence with the children in her car.

Dothan Police Department Public Information Officer Lt. Scott Owens told Page Six that officers responded to a call after Kelsey allegedly drove her car into a mailbox in a residential neighborhood.

Owens said that responding officers observed signs of impairment and conducted a sobriety test, leading them to determine that Kelsey was “unsafe to operate a vehicle.”

She was then taken into custody and booked at Dothan City Jail.

Local news outlet WBRC reported that Monroe and Evelyn were in the car when the incident occurred.

Reportedly, no one was injured in the crash, and the children were sent home with a family member.

The Dothan Police Department later released Kelsey’s mug shot via their website as part of their daily roundup of arrests, also citing her charge as “Driving Under the Influence (Alcohol).”

Hours before her arrest, Kelsey posted an Instagram video documenting everything she juggles as a working mom.

Her reps did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

After winning Season 16 of Bravo’s “Top Chef” in 2019, Kelsey appeared as a judge on Netflix’s “Next Gen Chef,” which premiered in September 2025.
