Texas State Sen. Angela Paxton (R) announced on Thursday that she has filed for divorce from her husband, Texas Attorney General and Senate candidate Ken Paxton (R) after “recent discoveries.”
“Today, after 38 years of marriage, I filed for divorce on biblical grounds. I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. 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,” Angela Paxton wrote on X. “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.”

Paxton said she filed for divorce on “biblical grounds,” which would primarily refer to adultery or abandonment.
The Texas Attorney General released his own statement, pointing blame at “countless political attacks and public scrutiny.”
“After facing the pressures of countless political attacks and public scrutiny, Angela and I have decided to start a new chapter in our lives,” he wrote. “I could not be any more proud or grateful for the incredible family that God has blessed us with, and I remain committed to supporting our amazing children and grandchildren. I ask for your prayers and privacy at this time.”

Ken Paxton is currently running for U.S. Senate for the seat held by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). Paxton was elected attorney general in 2015. In 2023, the Texas House of Representatives impeached him over corruption allegations. He was later acquitted by the state Senate where his wife did not participate in a vote, though she attended the Senate trial.
Paxton was accused of using his position to help a real estate developer and he was also accused of an extramarital affair at the time.
KUT News out of Austin, Texas reported on Thursday that they obtained a copy of Angela Paxton’s divorce filing and it accuses her husband adultery and reveals they stopped living together in 2024.
“The marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities between Petitioner and Respondent that destroys the legitimate ends of the marriage relationship and prevents any reasonable expectation of reconciliation,” reads the petition, according to the report.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Whelp, that won’t help his Senate run.
Let’s pray Cornyn has skeletons to be found.
Just re-elected Cornyn. Nice going, Ken, we’d tell you to keep it in your sock drawer next time but there’s no next time for you ... unless you run for dog catcher in Jim Hogg County.
Here we go, Guy follows little head to his demise. Now Cornyn plays the Obama playbook to get Paxton out of the way using salacious divorce accusations.
His wife is a state senator, wonder how that will play into things.
Bummer. I despise Cornyn. I hope Paxton can right the ship.
I’m still voting for him.
There’s no love.
The Bush/Cornyn Texas clan still has lots of people in Intel.
That is a vague way to attempt to cloth oneself in righteousness. I wonder what it really was.
Just like Jeri Ryan sunk her husband Jack in Illinois in 2004 which directly gave us obama.
Sounds like he couldn’t keep in his pants.
Didn’t we all learn from Bill Clinton that sex is a private issue?
"Biblical grounds" means it was either a dead girl or a live boy.
“I despise Cornyn. I hope Paxton can right the ship.”
It’s not as if our very own POTUS hasn’t been in the same situation.
The oldest political story.
I’m tempted to move to Texas so I can still vote for him except I wouldn’t be able to vote against Lankford.
I think homosexuality is also banned in the Bible—so don’t want to cross that one off the list.
Lol.
His statement is a non-admission admission.
And this is how we self-sabotage, again and again. There was a time when personal scandals hurt democrats as well. That was a very long time ago. They still hurt Republicans, Trump notwithstanding. I am fed up with this.
The wife going public suggests that there is more to come.
