ROME, GEORGIA: Marjorie Taylor Greene and her husband Perry Greene are parting ways as the latter has filed for divorce after 27 years of marriage. Perry filed for an official split on Tuesday, September 28, as per the court documents. This move comes just weeks before November's midterm elections. While the couple is now formally splitting, both the parties seem to end it on a good note as Perry has stated that Marjorie "has been my best friend" and the 48-year-old Georgia Republican congresswoman has said she would "always be grateful" to Perry for being a great father to their children.
The court documents obtained by TMZ show that Perry and the controversial congresswoman split up before in the past and that he wants to divide their assets and debts equally. Perry tells the outlet, "Marjorie has been my best friend for the last 29 years and she has been an amazing mom! Our family is our most important thing we have done. As we go on different paths we will continue to focus on our 3 incredible kids and their future endeavors and our friendship." They married in August 1995 when Marjorie, affectionately known as MTG, was still a student at the University of Georgia. Throughout their years together, they have raised three children together, Lauren and Taylor Greene, and a son, Derek Greene.

In a statement to the New York Post, Marjorie tells the outlet, "Marriage is a wonderful thing and I’m a firm believer in it. Our society is formed by a husband and wife creating a family to nurture and protect. Together, Perry and I formed our family and raised three great kids. He gave me the best job title you can ever earn: Mom. I’ll always be grateful for how great of a dad he is to our children."
What is Perry Greene's net worth?
Born on November 9, 1971, personal details on Perry are rather scarce. According to Popular Met Worth and other websites, Perry has an estimated net worth of $2 million, whereas MTG has a net worth of $4 million. The ex-couple enjoys stability from their joint ownership of Taylor Commercial which has handled a quarter billion dollars' worth of construction projects up until now, meanwhile specializing in commercial construction and refurbishment as per the publishing. Perry reportedly worked as an accountant at Ernst & Young before this. He graduated from Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia.
As per KTLA, Perry has asked the Floyd County Superior Court to seal the divorce proceedings as "the parties’ significant privacy interest in sealing the records outweighs the public’s minuscule interest in access to said records." The filing argues that "sensitive personal and financial information" will most definitely be revealed throughout the case, which would "negatively impact the parties’ privacy interests." The documents further state that their marriage is "irretrievably broken."
