Overview

  • On Aug. 11, Ashley Biden filed for divorce from Dr. Howard Krein in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, a move confirmed by her spokesperson.
  • Philadelphia’s practice of sealing divorce complaints means the reasons and details of their separation remain private.
  • On the day of the filing, she posted and then removed Instagram Stories set to Beyoncé’s “Freedom” and Lauryn Hill’s “Freedom Time,” which media outlets have linked to her new beginning.
  • Biden and Krein met in 2010 through her late brother Beau, married in Greenville, Delaware, in June 2012 and lived in Philadelphia without children.
  • Dr. Howard Krein is an otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals and did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
