One-time Washington power couple Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson quietly divorced in 2017 after nearly two decades of marriage, according to state divorce records.

Plame, who told the Washington Examiner on Friday that she is planning to run for U.S. Senate in New Mexico, does not mention the divorce on her website, which still references “her husband, Ambassador Joseph Wilson.” It was her second marriage and his third.

Wilson, a former ambassador to Gabon, and Plame, a former CIA operative, rose to national celebrity after Plame’s identity was leaked to the press by Richard Armitage, sparking a federal investigation in 2003. Plame and Wilson were vocal critics of the Iraq war and parlayed their notoriety into lucrative book and movie deals in the mid-2000s. The glamorous couple were the subject of the 2010 movie "Fair Game", which featured Naomi Watts as Plame and Sean Penn as Wilson.

Wilson and Plame currently own a sprawling 2-acre estate in Santa Fe, which they unsuccessfully put on the market for $2.1 million in the spring of 2017. The 4,609-square-foot Pueblo style home features 11 fireplaces, a separate guesthouse, and stunning views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The former couple has 19-year-old twins, Trevor and Samantha.

Plame, 55, and Wilson, 69, first met in 1997 at a reception at the Turkish ambassador’s residence. At the time, Wilson was still married to his second wife, but by the next year he had divorced her and married Plame.

Wilson, a retired U.S. ambassador to Gabon, was sent by the CIA on a “fact-finding mission” to Niger in 2003 to investigate whether Saddam Hussein bought yellowcake uranium from the country. Wilson went on to write an op-ed in the New York Times claiming that he found no evidence of the purchase and throwing doubt of the Bush administration’s rationale for the Iraq war.

Shortly after Wilson’s op-ed was published, Washington Post columnist Robert Novak wrote a column noting that Wilson’s wife worked at the CIA. The “outing” of Plame’s identity led to a Special Counsel investigation of the Bush administration to determine who leaked her name to Novak, and to the eventual conviction of Bush official Scooter Libby on obstruction of justice charges. Libby was pardoned by President Trump last April.

Richard Armitage, an aide to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell, later admitted to leaking Plame’s identity to Novak.

Plame has written three books - two spy novels and one memoir about the scandal over the leak of her name. She and Wilson have twin children, Trevor and Samantha, who are 19.

In 2007, she wrote about the strain the "outing" had put on her marriage. "It was so distorted, so twisted, and Joe was furious with me because he felt he had defended me gallantly, and I was not coming to his defense – although he understood that as an employee of the [Central Intelligence] Agency I could not speak publicly.

"It was just tearing us apart. Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but I felt the only thing that will save my marriage, is that goddamn it, I’m not going to let them have that too. We will get through this."
