Abedin and Weiner were married on July 10, 2010, in a ceremony officiated by former President Bill Clinton. The two separated on August 29, 2016, after it was revealed that Weiner had sent sexually explicit photos of himself to a "busty brunette." His young son was pictured in some of the pictures.
In 2011, Weiner resigned from Congress after accidentally tweeting a sexually explicit photograph.
Per the New York Post, the divorce filing is uncontested, meaning there will not be a custody battle for their son. Abedin has reportedly requested that the divorce be sealed.
