Since parting ways with Kelly Dodd, Scott Christopher Silva has continued to practice law. Currently, he serves as a magistrate judge for the City of Chandler in Arizona where he presides over criminal cases at the trial level, according to his LinkedIn profile. He was appointed a magistrate judge in October 2023 after serving pro tempore in Mesa, Arizona for two years, from May 2021 to September 2023. Prior to serving in court, Silva worked as a trial attorney for more than 25 years and was widely regarded as one of the best defense lawyers in the State of Arizona, according to the website of the National College for DUI Defense, or NCDD. He specialized in criminal defense, covering all felonies and misdemeanors, as well as DUI/DWI defense and personal injury law.

Unlike her marriage with Michael, Kelly has never really talked about her relationship with Silva in public, except for one interview where she mentioned getting married for the first time in her 20s. “Well, my first marriage was to a lawyer,” she told Bravo Insider in October 2020. Notably, Silva isn’t the only lawyer Kelly has romanced in the past, as she was also briefly linked to disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti back in 2018. She revealed their romantic connection in 2019, in light of Avenatti’s arrest for allegedly trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike, as NPR reported. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Kelly said, “I can’t believe I dated @MichaelAvenatti… I dodged a bullet on that one.”
