Kristi Noem Files for Divorce

Kristi Noem filed for divorce from Bryon Noem in Hamlin County, South Dakota, citing irreconcilable differences after 34 years. They married in 1992 and have three children—Kassidy, Kennedy, and Booker—and four grandchildren. She left open seeking spousal support. Court-record accounts place the filing on September 28; Us Magazine reports April 6. A March Daily Mail report alleged Bryon wore fake breasts, spent more than $25,000 in bimbofication chatrooms, and wanted “huge, huge ridiculous boobs.” A spokesperson said “Ms. Noem is devastated” and “The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time.” Further reports alleged contact with dominatrix Shy Sotomayor and a text to OnlyFans model Nicole Raccagno reading “I f***ing want to pay it.” Trump said he knew nothing about the allegations and “I feel badly for the family, if that’s the case. That’s too bad.” Corinne Arnold said in July “It has been difficult, but we knew this was coming, that they were going to get divorced,” and that Noem told her at a family get-together they would divorce, with a lawyer from Sioux Falls. Trump removed Noem as Homeland Security secretary in March and named her a special envoy. Under oath about Lewandowski rumors, Noem called the questions “tabloid garbage.”
