ST. LOUIS (AP) — Former Missouri 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 fundraising.

Both charges were dropped. Greitens resigned in June 2018. Sheena Greitens is an assistant professor in political science at the University of Missouri.
