Ashley Biden, daughter of former President Joe Biden, has filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years, Dr. Howard Krein, according to court records filed in Philadelphia.

The 44-year-old filed paperwork Monday in Philadelphia’s Court of Common Pleas. Biden and Krein married in June 2012 in Greenville, Delaware, after being introduced by her late brother, Beau Biden.

On the same day she filed, Biden posted on Instagram a photo of herself in a park with a thumbs-up gesture set to Beyoncé’s “Freedom.” She accompanied the post with a quote: “New life, new beginnings, means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before.”

Background on the Marriage

Krein is a plastic surgeon who has been in the public eye due to his marriage to the former first daughter. The couple had maintained a relatively private life despite Ashley’s prominence as the youngest child of the 46th president.

Ashley publicly acknowledged her marriage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention while introducing her father. “My dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception,” she told the crowd, describing how her father rode around on a John Deere 4-wheeler arranging details on their wedding day.

Divorce Details

The specific reasons for the separation have not been disclosed. Divorce records in Philadelphia are not made public.

Neither Ashley nor Krein has issued public statements regarding the filing.
