Kristi Noem Files for Divorce From Bryon Noem After Photo Scandal

Kristi Noem is stepping into a new chapter. 

Six months after photos of her husband Bryon Noem wearing women’s clothing and fake breasts surfaced, the former Department of Homeland Security head has filed for divorce, according to court documents reviewed by E! News. 

Kristi, 54, cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for their breakup, per the docs, which were filed in South Dakota Sept. 28.

E! News has reached out to attorneys for Kristi and Bryon for comment but has not yet heard back. 

News of the couple’s divorce after 34 years of marriage comes months after photos of what appeared to be Bryon dressed in women’s clothing and donning fake breasts were published by the Daily Mail March 31, with the outlet alleging that the 56-year-old had been living a double life where he chatted in online fetish forums with models.

At the time, a rep for Kristi—who shares daughters Kassidy, 32, and Kennedy, 29, and son Booker, 24, with Bryon—said the former South Dakota Governor was “devastated” by the images.
