Divorce records for Arizona Democratic Senate candidate Ruben Gallego and his ex-wife, Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, were made public after an Arizona court unsealed most of the seven-year-old case file. The records, however, offer little insight into the reasons behind the dissolution of their high-profile marriage, with no allegations of abuse or infidelity.

The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative news site, petitioned for the release of the records, which both Ruben and Kate Gallego opposed, citing concerns for their child's safety and privacy. The Arizona Supreme Court declined the Gallegos' request to keep the records private, leading to their unsealing.
