Beatie gained fame in 2007 when photos of him, pregnant and bearded, circulated around the world.
Beatie, who was born female, kept his reproductive organs when he had a sex change operation in 1998.
Beatie had been living in Bend, Ore., with his wife, Nancy, 49, and their three kids: daughter Susan and sons Austin and Jensen.
Death threats had forced the family to live in seclusion.
Since their split, Beatie has undergone a final female-to-male gender reassignment surgery, People magazine reported.
"Nancy hasn't seen the new me yet," Beatie says.
