So, now she'll be single. I don't know how this will affect her political career.
The husband of controversial Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed for divorce Wednesday on grounds their marriage is “irretrievably broken.”
Perry Greene, who married the firebrand politician, is also asking to seal the divorce proceedings, “because the parties’ significant privacy interest in sealing the records outweighs the public’s minuscule interest in access to said records,” court documents show.
According to the divorce petition filed in the Georgia Superior Court of Floyd County, Greene and his wife, 48, had already separated.
The couple were married in 1995, while they were both studying at the University of Georgia, court documents show.
