Paxton finalizes divorce after ex-wife filed on ‘biblical grounds’: Report
Angela Paxton filed on biblical grounds last July, and attorneys said the couple reached an amicable resolution after years of public scrutiny.
- On Thursday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and Senator Angela Paxton finalized their divorce, ending their 38-year marriage through an amicable resolution, according to a lawyer for Ken Paxton.
- Paxton filed to end the marriage last July "on biblical grounds," citing "recent discoveries." The couple had stopped living together more than a year before the petition.
- Paxton's history of infidelity, including an alleged affair with a former Senate aide, became a campaign focus. During the divorce proceedings, he was observed traveling in Europe with Tracy Duhon.
- Political fallout impacted the 2026 campaign, as Paxton unsuccessfully urged voters to support the GOP ticket. Democrats swept statewide seats and the Texas House while personal challenges mounted.
- Reelection for Paxton arrives in 2028 in a North Texas district where James Talarico previously carried about 4 percent of the vote. The region remains one of the last GOP bulwarks.
