Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has finalized his divorce from state Sen. Angela Paxton, ending a 38-year marriage, according to his lawyer and multiple news reports published Thursday.
Several outlets, including The New York Times, The Hill, and KVUE, reported that the divorce was finalized and cited a statement from Mr. Paxton's lawyer. The Hill reported that Angela Paxton had filed for divorce on "biblical grounds." The reports did not provide further details in the headlines and summaries available at the time of writing.
KVUE reported that the finalization came days after Mr. Paxton's loss in a U.S. Senate contest. The timing has drawn attention because both Paxtons have held prominent positions in Texas politics. Mr. Paxton serves as the state's attorney general, and Mrs. Paxton is a member of the Texas Senate.
Some details of the case, including the terms of the settlement, have not been made public in the material reviewed. This article will be updated if additional information is confirmed by the parties involved or by official court records.
