Biden's daughter, Ashley, submits divorce petition

Ashley Biden, the daughter of former U.S. President Joe Biden, has filed for divorce from her husband Howard Krein after nearly 13 years of marriage. The divorce petition was filed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to reports from the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The couple, who got married in the summer of 2012, tied the knot in a private ceremony attended by close family members and friends. The wedding took place in Wilmington, Delaware, after Joe Biden's tenure as Vice President. Joe Biden, then Vice President of the U.S., and his wife publicly congratulated the couple at the time.

Ashley Biden's late brother Beau introduced her to Howard Krein. The couple has not yet commented on the divorce.

The divorce filing was confirmed by a representative for Ashley Biden and reported publicly in August 2025. No new information about the divorce was provided in this paragraph.

Joe Biden, Ashley's father, is currently 82 years old, and his wife Jill is 74. The former U.S. President and First Lady have not yet released a statement regarding the divorce. However, they officially welcomed Howard Krein into the family when the couple married.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Ashley Biden posted a thumbs-up gesture to Beyoncé's song "Freedom" on Monday. It is unclear if this post has any relation to the divorce filing.

The statement from Joe Biden and his wife wished the couple a happy life together when they were married. The divorce marks the end of a long-term marriage for Ashley Biden and Howard Krein.
