A Collin County judge’s reported decision could keep details of the divorce from spilling into Ken Paxton’s U.S. Senate race.

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.

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.
