What happened

Kristi Noem’s mother, Corinne Arnold, says the former Homeland Security secretary has hired a lawyer and plans to divorce Bryon Noem after 34 years of marriage. Arnold said Bryon has moved out of the couple’s Castlewood, South Dakota, home, though no divorce filing has appeared in South Dakota court records. The reported split follows April reports alleging Bryon maintained a secret online sexual persona involving cross-dressing and “bimbofication.” Neither Kristi nor Bryon Noem has publicly confirmed the divorce.
