Ashley Biden, the daughter of former President Joe Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden, has formally filed to dissolve her 13-year marriage to Dr. Howard Krein, a Philadelphia otolaryngologist and plastic surgeon. The filing was made in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, Family Division; a city docket query reflects Case No. D25088462 and identifies Charles J. Meyer, Esquire as attorney for the plaintiff. USA Herald first reported the filing; hours later, Biden shared an Instagram Story signaling a turn toward “new beginnings.”
On social media, Biden reposted the line: “New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before,” pairing it with Lauryn Hill’s “Freedom Time.” She also shared a video set to Beyoncé’s “Freedom.” These posts were widely noted in coverage confirming the Philadelphia filing.
