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.
Ken is done.
An Epstein list victim, perhaps?
FAFO.
Yeah, I will still vote for Paxton over Cornyn anyway. My personal life probably wouldn’t hold up too good against political enemies either. At least Paxton has grit.
These days it can be both!
Sounds like he’s Senator material to me.
2004 Democratic National Convention
Obama became a "star" after his speech at the DNC in 2004.
These days it can be both!
Anyone wonder how much she got paid??
+1
But Angela Paxton says there are "recent discoveries".
Did some Cornyn or Democrat hack (but I repeat myself) "discover" new information?
In the Ryan’s case, it wasn’t infidelity. Jack Ryan repeatedly wanted to what married couples do while other people watched.
You're not going to vote for Paxton?
Maybe it’s just me, but a state AG married to a state Senator is the epitome of a political swamp.
Right... She exudes Karen vibes.
Talk about dirty politics. Hope the people of Texas see through it.
Just as Arizona is still McCain country, so too is Texas Bush country, and anyone who doesn’t play ball with them gets destroyed. Another reason why I hate politics so much.
“Trump was a serial cheater and we elected him.”
What sort of liberal lies have you been reading?
How can any Conservative think something like this is not going to come out?
Thank goodness it broke 11 months BEFORE the election.
