Kristi Noem and her husband, Bryon Noem, are heading for divorce in South Dakota, according to an interview given this week by Kristi's mother, who said the couple told her they were formally ending their 34-year marriage after months of turmoil.
After a bruising year for the pair, who had already been pushed from the political spotlight and into tabloid territory. Earlier in 2024, Bryon was engulfed in an online scandal involving what was described as the 'bimbofication' scene, while former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi was fending off long-running allegations of an affair with senior Trump aide Corey Lewandowski. Nothing has yet been confirmed in court filings, so all details of the reported split should still be taken with a grain of salt.
