Huma Abedin Splits from Anthony Weiner Amid Sexting Scandal

Huma Abedin has announced that she has separated from her husband, former Congressman Anthony Weiner, after he got caught in another sexting scandal.

The 40-year-old vice chairwoman of Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 campaign famously stood by her husband back in 2011 when his past relationships with other women were exposed.

“After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband,” Huma said in her statement. “Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy.”

A report, along with photos and messages, surfaced this weekend that Anthony had sent a woman a photo of himself laying in bed in just his underwear while his son Jordan slept next to him.
