Ruben and Kate Gallego's divorce records unsealed

The divorce records of Arizona Congressman Ruben Gallego and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego have been unsealed.

The release of the records on Oct. 17 stems from a lawsuit that was filed by conservative news outlet the Washington Free Beacon, which argued that the documents should be made public after Ruben Gallego spoke publicly about his divorce.

The documents released on Thursday show that Ruben Gallego filed for divorce in 2016 in Yavapai County, citing that the marriage was "irretrievably broken." The documents also say there were no domestic violence incidents during the marriage.

There are heavy redactions in the 400-plus pages of documents – information about the couple's son and finances are blacked out.

The Gallegos fought to keep the records sealed for privacy reasons and safety concerns about how they planned to co-parent.
