Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's wife files for divorce on 'biblical grounds' after 'recent discoveries'
Christian Post ^ | 07/11/2025 | Michael Gryboski

The wife of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says she is filing for divorce from the polarizing political figure, citing “biblical grounds” for her decision.

Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton took to her official X account on Thursday afternoon to announce that she filed for divorce after 38 years of marriage.

“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,” she tweeted.

“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.”

Shortly after the announcement, Ken Paxton took to his official X account to state that “Angela and I have decided to start a new chapter in our lives,” citing “the pressures of countless political attacks and public scrutiny” as the cause.

“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,” he tweeted.

The divorce petition accuses Ken Paxton of adultery, reports The National News Desk, stating that their union “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.”

The split comes as Ken Paxton is running for the U.S. Senate, with the state attorney general offering a primary challenge to Republican incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.

Since becoming attorney general in 2015, Ken Paxton has garnered national headlines for his legal battles with Democratic presidents and advancing conservative ideas via litigation.

Ken Paxton has also been a source of controversy, as he was impeached in May 2023 on allegations of abusing his office. He was temporarily suspended from his duties.

President Donald Trump was among Ken Paxton’s supporters, taking to his social media site Truth Social to denounce the impeachment proceedings.

“Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was easily re-elected last November, but now establishment [Republicans In Name Only] are trying to undo that Election with a shameful impeachment of him. Who would replace Paxton, one of the TOUGHEST & BEST Attorney Generals in the Country?” stated Trump at the time.

“Could it be a Democrat, or even worse, a RINO? The voters have decided who they want! Democrats are feeling very good right now as they watch, as usual, the Republicans fight & eat away at each other. It’s a SAD day in the Great State of Texas!”

About four months after the impeachment vote, Texas lawmakers voted to acquit Ken Paxton in September 2023, allowing him to immediately return to his duties.

Always annoying when they hide behind Jesus skirts to do sobering. I don’t know everything, but I guarantee it has something to do with her recently entering politics and the GOP is swarming around her.

She’s lecturing everybody about the biblical institution of marriage. I wonder how well she’s upheld her wifely duties when she started getting into politics.

**It’s truly amazing the lengths that people and parties will go to ensure the status quo remains in the U.S. Senate in particular.**

Still I’ll blame the primary voters.

And she is new to the career world and politics. She jumped into the Texas legislature. The payoff was that they promised her a bright future in politics. This is some filthy GOPE

Let’s give the facts some time to reveal and ignore the seminar posters until that moment.

This story somewhat supports an "epiphany"/theory that came to me some time ago. Decades back - when the socialists/communists infiltrated and took over the Democrat party, they also did the same to the Republican party. They did this in order to give the impression that there is a solid two-party system. That the Republican party will always be there to "fight' the Democrats but will constantly fail after a valiant effort. They will also ensure that every sin by the Republicans will be loudly displayed in the media, while keeping silent on the Democrat sins - if not silent, then down played.

After decades of the Republicans never once over-turning any of the Democrats legislation, the constant losing by one vote due to a Republican "maverick" voting with the Democrats, and the constant infighting, bickering, and mortal failings of the Republicans grabbing the headlines, this is about the only explanation I can think of.

Keep in mind the hatchet job the GOP did on Paxton the last time.
This feels similar.

That is fine, but it doesn’t belong being used right before an election.

TBH, I have known very few women who truly forgave and ever trusted a cheating spouse again.

They may really want to pretend it didn’t happen and trust again, but it never leaves the mind. I knew a woman like that. She would secretly get back at him in other ways. She had a way of making him in a “loving way” always feel guilty and like the dog who peed on the snow white carpet. She was the tortured victim and never let him forget it.That alone drove him to seek out comfort elsewhere and it sadly ended for them.

I can’t say she was wrong. The hurt and anger was deep for her. I think she always knew it was really over, but she needed her chance to make him suffer for it by valiantly staying together because he was sorry. Being sorry could not fix it.

Cornyn caused Paxton to cheat on his wife?

Here’s the problem. Let’s say Paxton squeaks out a primary victory over Cornyn. Now here comes Colin Alred with a $100m campaign bankroll to pummel Paxton on this, all the while showcasing his own picture-perfect marriage with two beautiful young children. It’s a prescription for disaster, as Texas would probably be stuck with a detestable left-wing Democrat for six years. Local coverage shows Paxton was fooling around in late May in DFW area. Not much self-discipline on his part, especially with such a high-profile campaign looming.

Timing: the bitter wife xxats her revenge. The divorce will be the entire content of the election.

I see it this way:

1. I is a promise you keep.
2. Something you learn to do.
3. Or a bad habit you have.

Your choice.
