State Senator Angela Paxton has filed for divorce from her husband, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, after 38 years of marriage. The filing, submitted in Collin County court, cites "biblical grounds" and references "recent discoveries" as reasons for the separation. Angela Paxton stated that she had earnestly pursued reconciliation but concluded that remaining in the marriage would not honor God or be loving to herself, her children, or Ken Paxton. The divorce petition accuses Ken Paxton of adultery and describes the marriage as insupportable due to discord or conflict of personalities. The announcement comes amid Ken Paxton's campaign to unseat Senator John Cornyn in a closely watched Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat from Texas. Following the filing, Ken Paxton retained prominent family law attorney Jared Julian and filed a motion to seal court records. The Senate GOP campaign committee has publicly criticized Ken Paxton in response to the divorce filing.
