Ashley Biden, daughter of former President Joe Biden, has officially filed for divorce from her husband, plastic surgeon Dr. Howard Krein, after thirteen years of marriage. The forty-four-year-old filed the legal paperwork in Philadelphia's Court of Common Pleas on Monday, concluding a significant chapter of her personal life.
Hours after the filing, Biden shared a social media post featuring a photograph of herself walking in a park, flashing a thumbs up, accompanied by Beyoncé's song Freedom. She also shared a reflective quote emphasizing new beginnings and boundaries.
The specific cause of the separation remains undisclosed because divorce records in Philadelphia are strictly confidential. The couple originally met through Biden's late brother, Beau, before marrying in Delaware in June 2012.
