Detroit Free Press

U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens speaks during the debate between U.S. Rep. Andy Levin and U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens at Oakland University on May 24, 2022. The two incumbents debated ahead of the Aug. 2 primary.

U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens confirmed for the Free Press on Thursday that she is divorcing from her husband after about a year of marriage and has moved to Birmingham.

Stevens, a 39-year-old Democrat, is running for reelection to a third two-year term in the new 11th Congressional District centered in Oakland County. In August, she defeated U.S. Rep. Andy Levin, D-Bloomfield Township, in a race to be the party's nominee in the predominately Democratic district.

In a statement, she said, "After careful thought and consideration, my husband Rob and I have decided to end our marriage. This is a mutual decision we came to at the end of the summer and we wish nothing but the best for each other. Please respect our privacy during this time as we both move forward."

She married Rob Gulley, a software architect she knew from high school, last September and they moved into a home in Waterford Township.

The Detroit News first reported on Stevens' divorce on Wednesday.
