Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley’s divorce getting messy: ‘My husband’
Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley shared a picture of her soon-to-be ex-husband holding hands with another woman she labelled his “girlfriend”.
Ashley Biden, the former first daughter who is fresh off filing for divorce from her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, shared a picture purportedly showing her ex with another woman.
“My husband and his girlfriend holding hands,” the 44-year-old wrote in the Instagram Story, over a picture of a man and a woman taken from behind.
She accompanied the story with the Notorious B.I.G. song “Another” featuring Lil’ Kim, which details an affair.
The dark-haired man in a casual short-sleeved shirt and the blond woman in a strapless black dress are not immediately identifiable, but Biden’s message was clear.
Sunday morning’s Instagram Story — which was quickly taken down — came just hours before Ashley Biden filed for a divorce from the plastic surgeon in a Philadelphia court after 13 years of marriage.
Biden and Krein did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The 44-year-old ex-first daughter filed the papers in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Monday, The Post confirmed.
Biden’s Instagram Story on the same day featured a photo of her walking through a park and flashing a thumbs-up, and was set to the song “Freedom” by Beyoncé, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer, which first reported the divorce filings.
She also 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.”
Details on what caused the split weren’t immediately clear. Divorce records aren’t made public in Philadelphia.
Biden and Krein had tied the knot in Greenville, Delaware, back in June 2012 — two years after being set up by her late older brother, Beau Biden.
He popped the question on a cliff in Big Sur, California, in late 2011 after getting “Pop’s” permission, People reported at the time.
“This is the right guy,” said Biden, who was vice president at the time. “And he’s getting a helluva woman.”
The couple went on to wed at the St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church, which is where Ashley was baptised, in front of some 200 guests.
Ashley briefly mentioned her nuptials on the public stage when she was introducing her dad at the Democratic National Convention last year.
“At the time, my dad was vice president, but he was also that dad who literally set up the entire reception,” she told the crowd.
“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.”
Krein, 59, is an otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in Philadelphia.
Prior to their split, the couple had been living in Philly. They don’t have children.
