Joe Biden's daughter Ashley files for divorce from Dr Howard Krein after 13 years of marriage
Ashley Biden, daughter of former US President Joe Biden, has filed for divorce from her husband, Dr Howard Krein, after 13 years of marriage. According to the New York Post, Ashley, 44, reportedly submitted the paperwork to the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas.
The report stated that Ashley shared an Instagram story featuring a photo of herself walking through a park and giving a thumbs-up, set to Beyoncé's Freedom song. In another story, she posted a quote that read, 'New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won't look or sound like they did before,' the report said.
Ashley Biden and Krein got married in June 2012 in Greenville, Delaware, two years after her late brother, Beau Biden, introduced them. Their wedding took place at St Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church and was attended by about 200 guests.
Speaking at the Democratic National Convention last year, Ashley opened up about her marriage while introducing her father. 'At the time, my dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception. He was riding around in his John Deere 4-wheeler, fixing the place settings, arranging the plants, and by the way, he was very emotional,' she told the media.
Krein, 59, is a plastic surgeon and otolaryngologist at Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals, the report said. He also serves as chief medical officer at StartUp Health and as senior director of health policy and innovation at the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson.
Ashley, a social worker and activist, spent 15 years working with the Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth, and Their Families. From 2014 to 2019, she was the executive director of the Delaware Center for Justice, the report stated.
The couple previously lived in a $1.3 million home in Philadelphia before their divorce. They did not have any children together.
