Ashley Biden files for divorce from husband of 13 years
Ashley Biden, the daughter of former President Biden and former first lady Jill Biden, filed for divorce Monday from her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, after more than 13 years of marriage.
Court documents show legal proceedings were filed against Krein in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
Moments after filing, Ashley Biden posted, “New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before," on Instagram with the background song set to “Freedom Time” by Lauryn Hill.
Details of the divorce and complaint were not disclosed in the filings.
Ashley Biden and Krein started dating in 2010 after reportedly meeting through her brother, Beau Biden.
Two years later, Ashley Biden and Krein, a plastic surgeon and ear, nose and throat doctor, married at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, in Greenville, Del., as reported by People magazine.
Ashley Biden recounted their nuptials at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and discussed her father’s final words before her wedding to Krein.
“Before he walked me down the aisle, he turned to me and said he would always be my best friend. All these years later, Dad, you are still my best friend," Ashley said.
