ST. LOUIS—Former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens and his wife, Sheena Greitens, are divorcing, the couple announced on social media Saturday, 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.

“After much reflection, counsel, and prayer, we’ve made an amicable decision to end our marriage, and move forward as co-parents who love our children,” the couple announced on her Twitter account and his Facebook page. They asked for privacy and said they wouldn’t comment further.
