3 things to know about Ken Paxton’s alleged Christian influencer mistress
'He's enamored with her faith'
1. Alleged affair with Paxton began in 2024
Duhon first emerged in the national political conversation during the contentious U.S. Senate primary campaign last fall.
A September 2025 Daily Mail report, based on anonymous sources, claimed Duhon's relationship with Paxton began after the two met at the Kentucky Derby in 2024 and contributed to the collapse of both her long marriage to Troy Duhon and Paxton's 38-year marriage to Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton.
Citing "multiple" sources who were allegedly familiar with the relationship, the Daily Mail reported Paxton and Duhon had taken overseas trips together.
A spokesperson for Paxton dismissed the initial Daily Mail story in a statement to The Christian Post last September, calling the British outlet a "trash blog," though without specifically disputing its allegations.
Angela, who reportedly reached a breaking point with her husband after his 2023 impeachment trial in the Texas House focused on allegations of an earlier affair with a woman named Laura Olsen, announced in an X post last July that she was filing for divorce from him "on biblical grounds."
"I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation. But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage," she said at the time.
