Sinema confirms romance with security guard as ex-wife's lawsuit unfolds

Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema acknowledges a romantic relationship with her former security guard, Matthew Ammel, dating to 2023–2024, as Heather Ammel — Ammel’s ex-wife — sues in North Carolina for alienation of affection. Sinema’s lawyers contend she shouldn’t be liable and that her conduct isn’t meaningfully connected to NC. The suit, which moved from state court to federal court, alleges the affair included travel and concerts; Ammel was hired after his Army retirement in 2022, and Sinema later left the Democratic Party to become an independent and now works for a Washington law and lobbying firm.

Sinema admits affair in court filing, fights North Carolina alienation suit

Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema acknowledged an affair with her former bodyguard in a North Carolina court filing seeking to dismiss an 'alienation of affection' lawsuit. The filing describes the relationship as romantic and intimate, says it occurred outside North Carolina, notes it began in May 2024 in California, and references communications across multiple states. The suit, filed by the bodyguard’s estranged wife, seeks damages, while Sinema's filing argues the court lacks jurisdiction since the alleged conduct did not take place in NC.
