Wife of anti-gay group president left him - for another woman

Meet Jonathan Saenz, devout Catholic and president of American anti-gay group Texas Values.

Under Mr Saenz's leadership Texas Values has led the fight against equal marriage, while Mr Saenz has suggested gay marriage will lead to people marrying their stepchildren and polygamy. He has also supported gay conversion therapy and suggested LGBT activists want to put Christians in Concentration camps.

Now reports have emerged that months before he started the role in early 2012, his wife left him for another women.

According to court records cited by Lone Star Q, Mr Saenz's ex-wife Corrine Morris Rodriguez Saenz filed from divorce in August 2011. She is said to still be dating Ercilia Paredes, the woman she left him for. The pair share custody of their three children, all of whom are under the age of 10.

Mr Saenz and his attorney did not respond to requests to comment to Lone Star Q. As yet Mr Saenz has not commented publicly on the reports.
