Angela Paxton's announcement on X that she filed for divorce from her husband, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, on biblical grounds spread quickly through social media and political circles. It comes after 38 years of marriage and may impact the attorney general's primary challenge against four-term incumbent Sen.

A state district court judge in Collin County agreed Friday to seal all records relating to divorce proceedings between Attorney General Ken Paxton and Sen. Angela Paxton, according to reports by The Dallas Morning News and The New York Times.

The edit comes after court filings revealed that Angela Paxton filed for divorce on July 10, citing "biblical grounds" and claiming "recent discoveries" led to her decision. The couple has reportedly been living apart since June 2024. The filing also accuses Ken Paxton of adultery.
