Political commentator and YouTuber Steven Crowder, 35, revealed that he and his wife, Hilary, 36, are getting a divorce after a decade of marriage. 

Crowder made the announcement on Tuesday during an episode of his podcast, Louder with Crowder. 

The online personality explained that Hilary filed for divorce sometime in 2021. 

'I have been living with a proverbial boot on my neck for going on years now,' Crowder said.

'Since 2021, I've been living through what has increasingly been a horrendous divorce.'

Crowder made the divorce announcement on Tuesday during an episode of his podcast, Louder with Crowder.

Crowder made clear that his marriage ended for reasons linked to naturally growing apart, rather than any infidelity or abuse.

'And no, this was not my choice,' he added. 'My then-wife decided that she didn't want to be married anymore and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.'

Crowder called it the most heartbreaking experience of his life and considers the divorce his 'deepest personal failure.'

What does Texas law say about no-fault divorce? 

  • In Texas, a divorce is not final for at least 60 days after a petition is filed. It typically takes up to six months to one year or longer to finalize a divorce, depending on the complexity of the issues and the degree of conflict.
  • Texas does not recognize legal separation. This means that even when you are living apart from your spouse, all of the property you or your spouse acquire is community property—regardless of the way it is titled—and all debt you or your spouse acquire is community debt. Essentially, you are married until you are legally divorced. 
  • Texas law allows for 'no-fault' divorce, which means the spouse filing for divorce does not have to prove any fault, wrong doing or marital misconduct on the part of the other spouse. However, a judge may take fault into consideration when determining what is a fair division of the parties' marital property.
  • A divorce can cost anywhere between hundreds to thousands of dollars, with the average running somewhere between $15,000 to $30,000.

 

Steven Crowder is an American-Canadian conservative political commentator, media host, and comedian.

He is also a former contributor at Fox News.

Crowder is best known for his recurring segment on his podcast called 'Change My Mind' and wider YouTube channel, where he has 6 million subscribers on his podcast, and 1.21 million on his secondary channel Crowder Bits.

The commentator is estimated to be worth $20million.

His YouTube channel reportedly earns him $80,000 a month with ad and viewership revenue.

He said that he and his ex-wife Hilary decided to keep the divorce issue private for the safety of their two children.

'In all this, one thing I wanna be really clear about is certain. True north here is that my children are blameless, completely without fault, and so we decided to resolve these issues privately as it's in their best interest both emotionally and physically to do so.'

It is as yet not clear if the divorce has been finalized yet but Crowder says that it has been an issue that he has been dealing with for 'years.'

'I loved a woman so much that I married her,' said Crowder.

'A woman who, despite all of this, I still love as the mother of my children and she wanted something else for her life.

'That's not my choice, she simply wanted out and the law says that that's how it works.'

The pair married on August 25 2012 after three months of engagement. 

They since went on to welcome twins, Magnus and Charlotte, in August 2021.

Previously, they announced their engagement in March of the same year.

The podcaster revealed via FOX News: 'Our wedding was perfect. Our wedding night was nothing short of amazing.

'Feeling judged? I couldn't care less. You know why? Because my wife and I were judged all throughout our relationship.

'People laughed, scoffed, and poked fun at the young, celibate, naive Christian couple.

'We'd certainly never make it to the wedding without schtupping, and if we did, our 'wedding night would be awkward and terrible,' they said.

'Turns out that people couldn't have been more wrong.'

Crowder has faced backlash over his YouTube channel various times and was kicked out of the YouTube Partner program for a year, meaning he could not monetize his videos.

His account was then reinstated in 2020.
