Kristi Noem files for divorce from Bryon Noem after tabloid scandal
Former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has filed for divorce from her husband of over 30 years, Bryon Noem, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing, submitted in April but only recently made public, follows a March tabloid report alleging Bryon Noem engaged in cross-dressing and online interactions with adult performers. Noem’s attorney confirmed the split, while Bryon Noem’s representatives have not responded. The divorce adds to a year of scrutiny for Noem, who was removed as DHS secretary in March and now serves as a special envoy.
