Kristi Noem Divorcing Husband Caught in Sex-Fetish, Cross-Dressing 'Secret Life'
Kristi Noem’s mother said the marriage ended after reports of Bryon Noem’s alleged online fetish activity and denied rumors linking the split to Corey Lewandowski.
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced divorce proceedings during a family birthday gathering in South Dakota, her mother Corinne Arnold told The Daily Mail on Friday.
The separation follows reports earlier this spring that Bryon lived a "secret double life" in online "bimbofication" fetish communities, which Arnold called the "unbearable final blow" to their 34-year marriage.
Addressing long-standing rumors of an affair between Noem and political adviser Corey Lewandowski, Arnold dismissed the allegations as a "bunch of crap," insisting her daughter "would never do that."
Bryon has moved out of the couple's home in Castlewood, South Dakota, though Arnold noted he appeared affectionate with grandchildren during the recent birthday gathering.
These developments follow Noem's recent firing by President Donald Trump and her demotion to the Shield of the Americas, a newly created smaller agency.
