Ashley Biden, the daughter of former President Joe Biden, has reportedly filed for divorce from her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, after 13 years of marriage. Court documents were submitted Monday in Philadelphia, though the details of the separation remain private because divorce records in the jurisdiction are sealed.
Ashley, 44, married Krein in June 2012 in Greenville, Delaware. The couple first met in 2010 after being introduced by Ashleyâs late brother, Beau Biden. Throughout their marriage, they largely stayed out of the public spotlight, with Ashley focusing on social advocacy and nonprofit work while Krein continued his career as a plastic surgeon.
During the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Ashley fondly recalled her wedding while introducing her father, sharing that thenâVice President Biden personally organized many of the reception details.
On the same day the divorce filing became public, Ashley posted a photo on Instagram of herself walking through a park with BeyoncĂ©âs âFreedomâ playing in the background. Her caption referenced ânew beginningsâ and ânew boundaries,â appearing to reflect a major personal transition, though she did not directly mention the divorce.
