Corinne Arnold, the mother of Kristi Noem, has disclosed that the former Homeland Security secretary is gearing up to end her marriage with Bryon Noem. This decision follows a series of personal controversies that have tarnished their public image. Arnold shared insights with a media outlet from her residence adjacent to the family ranch where Noem and Bryon raised their three children. She indicated that the family had been anticipating this outcome for some time, revealing that Noem had confided in her about the impending divorce in late spring, shortly after scandalous images surfaced of Bryon, 56, donning exaggerated prosthetic breasts while engaging with individuals involved in fetish content online.

Arnold recounted learning about the divorce during a family event, specifically at a birthday celebration for one of the couple's grandchildren. She sensed something was amiss and pressed her daughter for clarity, ultimately asking if reconciliation was on the table. Noem confirmed that they were indeed heading towards divorce and had already retained a lawyer based in Sioux Falls.

As of now, it is uncertain if Noem, who has been rumored to have a long-standing affair with Corey Lewandowski, the former Trump campaign manager, has reconsidered her decision. No formal divorce documents have been publicly filed, according to reports.

Earlier reports highlighted Bryon's interactions with women associated with the "bimbofication" community, where individuals undergo significant physical transformations. This scandal emerged just before Noem's dismissal from her role as Homeland Security secretary on March 5, which was influenced by her performance during a congressional hearing the day prior. During this hearing, she was asked directly about a potential sexual relationship with Lewandowski but chose not to respond, a silence that many interpreted as an acknowledgment of the affair.

Despite the swirling rumors, Arnold stood by her daughter, asserting that Noem would never betray her marriage. She emphasized her parenting values and noted that Lewandowski has his own family, including young children, which further fuels her disbelief in the allegations.
