Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem<\/a> is divorcing her cross-dressing husband Bryon<\/a>, the ex-South Dakota governor\u2019s mother claimed in a new interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been difficult, but we knew this was coming, that they were going to get divorced,\u201d Corinne Arnold told the Daily Mail<\/a> at her home next door to the ranch where the Noems lived and raised three children.<\/p>\n

Arnold said that her daughter confided her plans in late spring \u2014 not long after photos surfaced of Bryon, 56, wearing enormous fake breasts while chatting with a fetish performer.<\/p>\n

\"BryonPictures of Bryon Noem wearing fake balloon boobs were released earlier this year.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear if Kristi Noem, who has allegedly carried on a years-long affair with former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, changed her mind in recent months, and no divorce filings have surfaced.<\/p>\n

Arnold said that she learned the news when the whole family went to the birthday party of the scandal-plagued couple\u2019s grandchild.<\/p>\n

\u2018She doesn\u2019t tell me what she thinks. Finally, I said: \u2018What\u2019s the deal? Are you going to get together again?\u2019 And she said: \u2018No. No. We\u2019re going to get a divorce,\u2019\u201d Noem\u2019s mother told the Mail.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I said: \u2018Who is your lawyer?\u2019 And she said it was somebody from Sioux Falls.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outlet reported in late March that Bryon Noem<\/a> chatted up women from the so-called \u201cbimbofication\u201d fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a \u201cBarbie doll\u201d-like appearance \u2014 and even indulged in the trend himself.<\/p>\n

President Trump fired Noem from her DHS job March 5, shortly before the embarrassing disclosure.<\/p>\n

The \u201cfinal straw\u201d for Trump<\/a> was Noem\u2019s performance at a congressional hearing one day earlier, where she refused to answer a point-blank question about whether rumors she had \u201csexual relations\u201d with Lewandowski, administration sources told The Post.<\/p>\n

Her non-denial \u2014 after Byron, her husband of 34 years, joined her in the hearing room \u2014 was widely seen as an admission of infidelity.<\/p>\n

Noem\u2019s mother insisted, however, that she wasn\u2019t having an affair with Lewandowski.<\/p>\n

\u201cKristi would never do that,\u201d she claimed. \u201cThat\u2019s not how I brought my kids up. And Corey\u2019s got his own wonderful family and little kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also was frustrated that Noem claimed that he approved a $220 million DHS ad campaign starring the secretary herself, sources said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is divorcing her cross-dressing husband Bryon, the ex-South Dakota governor\u2019s mother claimed…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":925831,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,23424,373518,2399,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,80,10637,88441,67,586,132,5230,68,1154,2969],"class_list":["post-925830","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-america","tag-divorce","tag-dominatrixes","tag-kristi-noem","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-politics","tag-scandals","tag-sex-workers","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-us-news","tag-usa"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116896580214482593","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925830","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=925830"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925830\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/925831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=925830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=925830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=925830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
