Bryon Noem privately acknowledged knowing about rumours of his wife Kristi Noem's alleged affair with Trump ally Corey Lewandowski, according to a report published by Daily Mail on 31 March 2026, as new photographs and leaked messages exposed the former South Dakota 'first gentleman' living what appears to be a double life online.
Speculation about an affair between South Dakota's former governor and Lewandowski has circulated in US political circles for years, repeatedly denied or dismissed by Kristi Noem's team as gossip. The latest turn, driven by an investigation from the Daily Mail into Bryon Noem, has shifted the spotlight from the governor's alleged conduct to her husband's own secret online persona and what he may have been carrying in silence.
