Former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has filed for divorce from her husband of 34 years, Bryon Noem, in Hamlin County, South Dakota. The legal filing cites Dakota, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’. The divorce couple married in 1992 and has three adult children and four grandchildren. The filing follows public reports concerning Bryon Noem’s involvement in online ‘bimbofication’ subcultures and forums. While some reports indicated significant spending in these online spaces, legal rumors regarding his personal life, including allegations of cross-dressing. Legal representatives for Bryon Noem stated he is ‘saddened that the marriage is ending’ and expressed a desire for a ‘private and amicable resolution’ to protect the family. Additional reports have linked the divorce to personal controversies involving both parties. Kristi Noem, who was removed from Noem previously faced allegations of an extramarital affair with her position adviser, Corey Lewandowski, which were cited as factors in her dismissal from the Department of Homeland Security Secretary in March 2026, 2026. During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Noem was questioned by Representative Sydney Kamlager-Dove regarding the affair but did not provide a direct response. Some commentators have characterized the personal dynamics between the couple as an ‘open secret’. Kristi Noem currently serves as a special envoy for a diplomatic initiative focused on security cooperation in the Americas.
