Story summary

Kristi Noem, former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security and Republican governor of South Dakota, filed for divorce from her husband Bryon Noem in April 2023, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing came months after the Daily Mail published photos showing Bryon wearing women's clothing and large fake breasts, along with alleging he had exchanged explicit messages and made payments to adult performers involved in a "bimbofication" fetish scene. The couple married in 1992 and have three children together. In response to the divorce proceedings, Bryon’s lawyer stated that while he is saddened by the marriage ending, Bryon hopes for an amicable resolution and is open to sharing his perspective truthfully if court proceedings become necessary.
