ST. LOUIS – Former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens and his wife, Sheena Greitens, are divorcing, the couple announced on social media Saturday, 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. “After much reflection, counsel, and prayer, we've made an amicable decision to end our marriage, and move forward as co-parents who love our children,” the couple announced on her Twitter account and his Facebook page.
They asked for privacy and said they wouldn't comment further. Greitens was a rising Republican star after his 2016 election — a charismatic former Navy SEAL officer and Rhodes Scholar with presidential ambitions.
