MINNEAPOLIS — Rep. Ilhan Omar has officially divorced from her husband in Minnesota, just a month after she filed a petition saying there was an "irretrievable breakdown" in their marriage.
Omar and Ahmed Hirsi had only been married since January 2018 but were longtime partners. Omar says Hirsi is the father of her three children.
The marriage was dissolved Tuesday after paperwork was signed by court personnel. The divorce comes months after a Washington, D.C., woman accused the Democratic congresswoman of having an affair with her husband.
Omar has denied the affair, and steadfastly declined to discuss her personal life.
Attorneys for Omar and Hirsi did not immediately respond to AP requests for comment.
