Ken Paxton Finalizes 40-Year Marriage’s Divorce

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and state Sen. Angela Paxton have finalized their divorce after more than 40 years of marriage; the terms remain private. Angela Paxton filed for divorce more than a year ago, citing biblical grounds and allegations of adultery, which Ken Paxton has denied. His attorney described the settlement as amicable, and a trial scheduled for this summer was canceled after negotiations progressed. The divorce drew renewed attention during Ken Paxton’s failed U.S. Senate campaign and followed scrutiny of his personal conduct during his 2023 impeachment trial, in which he was acquitted.
