Kyrsten Sinema Faces Lawsuit Over Affair with Guard
Heather Ammel says the affair helped end her 14-year marriage and is seeking at least $75,000 under North Carolina’s alienation-of-affection law.
- Former Senate member Sinema faces an alienation-of-affection lawsuit from Heather Ammel, who alleges Sinema broke up her 14-year marriage. Sinema is contesting whether North Carolina courts have jurisdiction, with supplemental briefs filed on August 12.
- In recent deposition testimony, Sinema acknowledged a "romantic and intimate" relationship with her former bodyguard Matthew Ammel that began in May 2024. She admitted to the affair but argued it occurred outside North Carolina, challenging the state's rare "homewrecker" law.
- Filings detail encounters across multiple states including California, New York, and Washington. Sinema disclosed being "intimate" with Matthew in hotel rooms and her apartment, while characterizing one controversial text exchange involving a photo as "about sports."
- District Judge David A. Bragdon is reviewing supplemental briefs and evidence filed by both parties on August 12 to decide whether the case proceeds or Sinema's motion to dismiss is granted. The lawsuit seeks at least $75,000 in damages.
- The Ammels finalized their divorce in March 2026, though legal proceedings continue. If the court allows the case to move forward, it would advance toward discovery and a potential trial on Heather Ammel's alienation-of-affection claims.
