Ashley Biden has filed to divorce her plastic surgeon husband after 13 years of marriage, according to a new report.
The former First Daughter, 44, filed to divorce Dr Howard Krein, 59, on Monday in Philadelphia, as reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer.
To mark the moment, Ashley posted a since-deleted Instagram story that showed her walking through a park as she gave a thumbs up to the tune of the song Freedom by Beyoncé.
Ashley also reposted a quote to Instagram that read: ‘New life, means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before.’
She accompanied the quote with Lauryn Hill’s song Freedom Time.
Ashley, Joe Biden‘s youngest daughter, married Krein in Greenville, Delaware, in 2012.

The former couple met two years earlier through Ashley’s late brother Beau, who died from cancer in 2015.
They lived in Philadelphia, where Krein works as an otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.
Ashley has a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and has worked for criminal justice reform in the state.
Ashley is the only biological daughter of former First Lady Jill Biden, who married Joe Biden after the tragic death of his first wife and mother of his two sons.
While she has mostly stayed out of the spotlight, earlier this year vocally defended Joe Biden against claims that he had been cognitively unfit during his last months in the White House.
