Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is married, has stepped into the spotlight with his new partner, Christian influencer Tracy Duhon, following revelations of their relationship by the Daily Mail.

Recently, exclusive photos and footage captured the 62-year-old Paxton and 57-year-old Duhon enjoying a getaway at a lavish ski resort in Aspen, Colorado. Their vacation took place earlier this month.

Paxton, a Republican with ambitions for the US Senate, and Duhon, an author from New Orleans, were spotted leaving the luxurious St Regis Resort, where rooms can cost $4,000 per night, on December 6. They were in town for a wedding of one of Paxton’s staff members.

Their relationship reportedly began clandestinely after they met at the Kentucky Derby in May 2024, a development first uncovered by the Mail in September.

The latest images highlight Duhon’s affinity for opulence, as she was seen wearing a brown fur coat while strolling through the high-end resort to rendezvous with Paxton.

Video also captures the pair preparing for a day on the slopes, with Paxton tenderly placing his hand on Duhon’s back as they loaded their skis into an SUV.

They were also spotted getting ready to hit the slopes in full ski gear.

Multiple sources confirmed Duhon, a mother of seven, is the reason the politician’s marriage crumbled earlier this summer.

Paxton’s wife, Texas State Senator Angela Paxton, announced their 38-year marriage was over in a stinging post on X in July, citing ‘biblical grounds.’ 

This is not the first time Paxton has been rocked by scandal. He was caught cheating on Angela in 2023 with his former mistress Laura Olsen.

He was impeached by the state house, accused of misusing his office and exchanging favors with a top political donor to get a job for his lover. Paxton denied the allegations and was acquitted in the state senate.

His wife stood by him through that first cheating scandal, but sources told the Daily Mail the affair with Duhon was the final straw.

Angela declined the Daily Mail’s request for comment.

When the Daily Mail first exposed Paxton and Duhon’s affair months ago, the politician did not deny having a relationship with Duhon. Instead, he suggested the Daily Mail was part of the ‘deranged radical Left.’ 

Sources told the Daily Mail at the time that it was because Paxton saw a future with Duhon, who has since divorced her wealthy, car dealership mogul ex-husband.

Ken Paxton has been romantically involved with Tracy Duhon since meeting her at the Kentucky Derby in May 2024, sources tell Daily Mail (the pair were spotted in Aspen, above)

Now, Paxton has brought Duhon to George Lane’s wedding – Lane is the director of government relations in the attorney general’s office – at which Paxton was a groomsman. 

This was a risky move given that Paxton is in the middle of a heated primary race with US Senator John Cornyn and Wesley Hunt to be their party’s nominee.

Any of Paxton’s opponents can seize on this issue and claim that the adulterous Paxton should not represent their God-fearing, values-driven voter base. 

Despite their very public split, Paxton is still a married man, and had been fighting tooth and nail to keep the divorce records private. 

However, the Paxtons decided to unseal their divorce records Thursday night ahead of the court hearing in which they believed a judge would have ordered their release in the media. 

Several news organizations have sued to unseal the documents, arguing that the public has a right to know. 

Angela filed for divorce in July citing adultery as the reason behind the split, according to KUT. 

The affair between Paxton and Duhon has been going since they met at the 2024 Kentucky Derby.

Tracy Duhon (pictured) maintains a very public media presence, sharing stories about her faith, encouragement and Christian advice on her account. She also showcases her glamorous life in New Orleans and has 1,746 followers on Instagram

Sources told the Daily Mail that the pair – along with Duhon’s then-husband – slept under the same roof that weekend as their mutual friend played host. 

Since then, Paxton and Duhon have had multiple rendezvous on trips across the country and even overseas, according to insiders.

Sources have said the getaways were essential to keeping their entanglement secret as both were married at the time.

The Daily Mail has reached out to both Paxton and Duhon for comment, but has not heard back. 

Duhon maintains a very public social media presence, sharing stories about her faith, encouragement and Christian advice on her Instagram account. 

She also showcases her glamorous life in the Big Easy, including regularly having her hair and makeup done professionally. 

Despite the photo shoots and professionally produced videos, Duhon only has 1,746 followers on Instagram.
