Ex-Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin Barred From Estranged Wife’s Home

Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin lost access to a home he co-owns with his estranged wife after she complained to the court about his “aggressive and unsettling behavior.” The Lexington Herald-Leader reports that Glenna Bevin accused the 57-year-old Republican politician of following her around in the home where she lives with their two children, peppering her with questions about their pending divorce, and staying until she went to bed. She also wanted Bevin, who lives in a different home the couple co-owns, held in contempt. Jefferson Circuit Judge Angela Johnson gave the ex-governor—who served from 2015 to 2019—a week to get any belongings from the home before he is barred from the property unless the court or his wife allows it. But she declined to hold him in contempt, and suggested that he is living in denial that his marriage is over. “While [Matt Bevin] admitted that he did not want the divorce, [he] seems to be trying to keep the parties’ relationship and maintain a ‘business as usual’ environment,” the judge wrote. “However, the truth of the matter is that the parties are getting a divorce. Normalcy and the ‘business as usual’ environment are gone.”
