Kristi Noem files for divorce from husband after more than 34 years of marriage
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has filed for divorce from her husband, Bryon Noem, after more than 34 years of marriage.
Court documents filed in South Dakota list irreconcilable differences as the reason for the divorce. The complaint was signed by Noem's attorney in April and filed Monday in Hamlin County.
The divorce proceedings have placed the couple under a temporary restraining order under South Dakota law.
Noem and Bryon Noem were high school sweethearts and have three children and several grandchildren. Bryon Noem frequently accompanied his wife at public events and congressional appearances during her political career.
Before serving as Homeland Security secretary, Noem was the governor of South Dakota. President Donald Trump removed her as DHS secretary in March.
During Noem's time leading the department, members of Congress raised questions about her relationship with her senior adviser, Corey Lewandowski. Both Noem and Lewandowski denied that their relationship was romantic.
Earlier this year, reports about Bryon Noem included photographs showing him wearing what appeared to be women's clothing and fake breasts, along with allegations that he had exchanged messages with women online and made payments to some of them.
Noem's attorney, Michael K. Sabers, confirmed that she had filed for dissolution of the marriage and said she would reserve further comments for the legal proceedings.
Bryon Noem did not immediately comment.
Following her departure from DHS, Trump named Noem as a special envoy for the "Shield of the Americas," an initiative involving the United States and governments in Latin America.
