Former Missouri Governor Greitens and Wife To Get Divorced

Former Missouri Republican Gov. Eric Greitens and his wife Sheena Greitens are divorcing.

The couple announced Saturday that they have decided to end their marriage and co-parent their two sons.

The divorce comes nearly two years after Greitens resigned amid accusations that he took a compromising photo of a woman without her consent during a 2015 extramarital affair.

Greitens was charged with invasion of privacy in connection with that allegation and with a separate felony related to fund-raising. Both charges were dropped. Greitens resigned in June 2018.

Sheena Greitens is an assistant professor in political science at the University of Missouri.
