Texas Sen. Angela Paxton files for divorce from Attorney General Ken Paxton, court records show [View all]

Source: CBS News

State Sen. Angela Paxton, the wife of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, has filed for divorce from her husband, according to Collin County court records.

The couple has been married for 38 years, including during Paxton's 2023 impeachment trial.

The senator said she filed for divorce on "biblical grounds," according a post on her X account. She filed on Thursday, court records show.

"I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation," she wrote on social media. "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."
