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.

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.
