Ashley Biden, the daughter of former President Biden and former first lady Jill Biden, filed for divorce on 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 regarding the divorce were not disclosed as filings did not include details of the complaint. 

Ashley reportedly met Krein through her deceased brother, Beau Biden, and the two started dating in 2010. 

Two years later, Ashley Biden and the 58-year-old plastic surgeon and ear, nose and throat doctor married at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, in Greenville, Delaware, as reported by PEOPLE

Ashley recounted their nuptials at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and discussed her father’s final words before the two tied the knot.

“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.
