Ashley Biden Files for Divorce from Howard Krein

Philadelphia’s nonpublic divorce records mean the reasons for her split remain undisclosed.

Overview

  • Ashley Biden filed for divorce from her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Aug. 11, her representative confirmed.
  • Local rules in Philadelphia keep divorce complaints sealed, preventing public access to any details or grounds of the filing.
  • She marked the filing with since-deleted Instagram stories showing her giving a thumbs-up in a park set to Beyoncé’s “Freedom” and quotes set to Lauryn Hill’s “Freedom Time.”
  • Biden and Krein met in 2010 through her late brother Beau, married in June 2012 in Greenville, Delaware, and lived together in Philadelphia without children.
  • Biden holds a Master’s in Social Work and has led community programs in Philadelphia, while Krein practices as an otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals.
