Ken Paxton Preached “Family Values” While Cheating on His Wife. She Finally Had Enough.
And it wasn't the only time...
Ken Paxton has spent his entire career telling Texans how to live. Who they can marry. Which families deserve legal protection. He wrapped himself in scripture and invoked the sanctity of traditional marriage at every campaign stop, every press conference, every culture war battle he could find.
He was also cheating on his wife — twice (that we know of).
The First Affair: Corruption With a Side of Infidelity
The first woman was Laura Olson. And this one didn’t just blow up his marriage; it helped get him impeached.
His own senior staffers testified under oath that real estate developer Nate Paul, who was under FBI investigation at the time, hired Olson as a personal favor to Paxton. The attorney general of Texas used his official power to protect a man under federal investigation. That man thanked him by employing his mistress. A straight-up corrupt quid pro quo with his affair partner sitting right in the middle of it.
Paxton survived the impeachment. Angela stood by him through the whole ugly thing: sat in the Senate chamber, heard the testimony, and stayed.
It only got worse.
The Second Affair: Now It’s Just Who He Is
Then came Tracy Duhon. Fifty-seven years old, mother of seven, Christian influencer. According to Texas Monthly, it started at the 2024 Kentucky Derby.
Paxton met up with her on trips across the country and overseas.
A Christian influencer. Building a following around faith and traditional values while sleeping with a married attorney general who was busy using state power to strip rights from LGBTQ Texans in the name of those same values.
Two affairs is a pattern. Who is to say there aren’t others?
Angela Said Enough
July 10, 2025. Angela Paxton filed for divorce and cited adultery. She specifically invoked biblical grounds.
Here’s what makes her story extraordinary. She’s not just a political wife who smiled through the scandal. She’s an elected Texas state senator. She sat in that chamber during her own husband’s impeachment trial. Listened to his former deputies describe his corruption and his affair under oath. Senate rules didn’t require her to leave, so she didn’t. She defended him publicly.
He did it again anyway.
And when she finally filed, Ken’s first move was to seal the divorce records. The state’s top law enforcement officer, the man who built his whole brand on accountability and transparency, tried to hide his own court documents from the public. It took the Texas Tribune, ProPublica, and the Texas Newsroom dragging him into court to get those records unsealed. That happened in December 2025. Not because Paxton chose openness, but because journalists refused to let him bury it.
The Bottom Line
Paxton fought to define marriage for millions of Texans. Fought to restrict who could love who, who deserved rights, who counted as a real family.
His own wife divorced him for adultery on biblical grounds.
Paxton never believed in the values he sold voters. He believed the rules were for everyone else. He believed power protected him.
Angela finally reminded him it didn’t.
