State Sen. Angela Paxton has filed for divorce from her husband, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
On the social media site X, Angela Paxton posted she was seeking divorce “on biblical grounds.”
“I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation,” she wrote. “But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage. I move forward with complete confidence that God is always working everything together for the good of those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose.”
Angela Paxton, a Republican who represents the McKinney area, filed a petition for divorce in Collin County on Thursday, according to court records.
Ken Paxton, also a Republican, is running for U.S. Senate against John Cornyn. The attorney general has long been dogged with allegations of infidelity, including during impeachment proceedings in 2023 that ended in his acquittal. He was accused of securing a job for the woman with whom he was having an alleged affair.
During his time in statewide office, Paxton has also repeatedly been accused of corruption — but has never been convicted of a crime. Last year, he cut a deal with prosecutors to avoid going to trial over felony securities fraud charges. He agreed to do community service and pay restitution and the case was closed this year.
