Perry Greene, the husband of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), filed for divorce on Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by The Daily Beast. The petition stated that the Greenes’ 27-year marriage was “irretrievably broken” and indicated that the couple, who wed in college, had been separated for some time.
Perry Greene motioned to have the divorce filed under seal, arguing “that the record will contain sensitive personal and financial information, the public disclosure of which would negatively impact the parties’ privacy interests.” In a statement through a spokesperson, Rep. Greene told The Daily Beast, “Marriage is a wonderful thing and I’m a firm believer in it.
Our society is formed by a husband and wife creating a family to nurture and protect. Together, Perry and I formed our family and raised three great kids. He gave me the best job title you can ever earn: Mom. I’ll always be grateful for how great of a dad he is to our children. This is a private and personal matter and I ask that the media respect our privacy at this time.”
Perry Greene said in a statement: “Marjorie has been my best friend for the last 29 years and she has been an amazing mom! Our family is our most important thing we have done. As we go on different paths we will continue to focus on our 3 incredible kids and their future endeavors and our friendship.”

Wow, we are all so wonderful and we so firmly believe in marriage that we are getting a divorce! LOL
Aren’t you an asshat
Mouth has probably part of the problem
Your compassion for this family is overwhelming.
Like Tom is so perfect?
Like your so perfect?
I feel for the family. Marriage can be hard, I’ve been married 36yrs and I’m not in the public eye.
Having been through a divorce after almost double the years of the Green’s I have empathy for both. Couples grow apart especially when they marry young. Best to you both. I truly hope this can remain a private matter but doubt the media will allow that courtesy
There once was a man who had a large collection of royal chairs he collected from around the world. He had one from Siam, one from Ethiopia, one from an ancient Mayan temple, among others. His biggest problem was that, in order to save money, he lived in a two-story thatched hut on a beach in the Bahamas. He lived on the bottom floor and stored his prized collection in the floor above. One day, a hurricane wind came through, and, although the house might have otherwise survived the storm, due to the weight of the collection he maintained, the house and everything in it was destroyed. The moral to this story is: A man who lives in a grass house shouldn’t stow thrones.
Spouses are targeted almost as much as the D.C. politicians themselves, and it takes its toll on healthy family life. A spouse and children are not the elected official and should be off limits to constant critique but sadly, most media outlets have gone “scorched earth” on politicians AND their families. No wonder it is so difficult to hire public servants when the atmosphere in the nation’s capital is so nasty and combative.
