Kristi Noem files for divorce from Bryon Noem

politicsSep 29, 2026181,003

Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem filed for divorce from her husband Bryon Noem in Hamlin County, South Dakota, on April 6, court records show; the filing was posted online Sept. 28. The couple, married since May 23, 1992, cited "irreconcilable differences" in the petition, and Noem's lawyer Michael Sabers confirmed she filed and will reserve further comment for the legal process. The split follows reporting earlier this year by the Daily Mail that said Bryon Noem paid adult entertainers and cross-dressed; a spokesperson told the New York Post Kristi Noem was "devastated" after that report. Bryon Noem's legal representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The article notes Kristi Noem was removed from her role as Homeland Security secretary on March 5 after "Operation Metro Surge" in Minnesota, and was later named special envoy to the Trump administration's "Shield of the Americas" initiative. Kristi and Bryon Noem have three children, Kassidy, Kennedy and Booker; Bryon works in the insurance industry and earned a business finance degree from Northern State University after coaching basketball and working on the family farm.

Much like Kristi Noem I don't have a dog in this fight.

Charlie Fillenwarth32

Haha. She’s really trying to frame this as “he was a cross dresser”? Bitch murdered dogs and took her very-public manwhore all over the world on taxpayer-funded trips, but yeah, *he’s* the problem. I hope he takes her to the cleaners.

Imaging having the letters B, R, Y, O and N in your first name, but it’s not Byron. It’s fucking Bryon. Jesus Christ.

Odd to me that Lewondowski is barely mentioned in this piece (basically a footnote at the end).

Kristi Noem used the agency funds for her ads. She probably gave Trump the idea. 🤣

Kristi Noem is long gone as DHS secretary. Emil Bove now sits on the 3d Circuit. The Venezuelans sent to CECOT and eventually repatriated have scattered to the winds. Even if the appeals court allows a contempt inquiry, nearly half of Trump’s term will have elapsed before real accountability starts.

Kristi Noem spent $220 million in taxpayer money on ads of herself on horseback, got fired by Trump via Truth Social for it, and now her marriage is falling apart too. Meanwhile, she was reportedly seeing her aide the whole time. ICE Barbie's dream house is fully repossessed.

Thyme&Tyde wait for no man.1

And now daddy took a page out of her playbook and is airing ads of his own with taxpayer money. The most openly corrupt regime ever.

Former DHS Secretary Kristi L. Noem filed for divorce from her husband, according to court records, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Yeah, I guess if you're fucking Corey Lewandowski that would be an irreconcilable difference. Noem… share.google/Ooa9OyQnGs3q...

Why do you think they voted to give DHS all that money? Both Kristi Noem and #GrifterTrump saw that it was the easiest avenue to steal taxpayer money.
