Sinema admits romance with guard
Sinema's relationship with her security guard began while in office, leading to a North Carolina lawsuit claiming alienation of affection and seeking financial damages.
- Last week, Former U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema acknowledged a romantic relationship with Matthew Ammel, a member of her security detail, in a signed declaration attached to a lawsuit motion filed last week.
- Heather Ammel is suing Sinema for alienation of affection seeking financial damages, alleging Sinema pursued her married husband and interfered with their loving marriage.
- The filings say Sinema's head of security hired Matthew Ammel after his 2022 Army retirement and the complaint alleges Heather Ammel found romantic messages on the Signal messaging app in early 2024 before their separation in November 2024.
- Steven Epstein, Sinema's attorney, asked for dismissal Thursday, arguing her conduct has no meaningful connection to North Carolina and she should not face the ex-wife's lawsuit.
- Given Sinema's profile as a former U.S. senator who left the Democratic Party, the lawsuit could expose her to financial damages under North Carolina law permitting alienation of affection.
