Kristi Noem's Husband Expresses Desire to Share His 'Perspective' Amid Divorce Filing

Bryon Noem, husband of former South Dakota Governor and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, has indicated a desire to "truthfully share his perspective" as the couple navigates their divorce. His attorney, Tim Bottum, released a statement saying Bryon Noem is "saddened that the marriage is ending and hopes for a private and amicable resolution." The statement continued, "If court proceedings become necessary, Bryon will welcome the opportunity to truthfully share his perspective."

Kristi Noem filed for divorce on Monday in Hamlin County Court in her home state. The couple has been married since 1992 and shares three adult children: Kassidy, Kennedy, and Booker. They also have grandchildren.

The divorce filing comes approximately six months after reports surfaced detailing Bryon Noem's alleged involvement with sex workers and OnlyFans models, along with lewd photos of him in attire involving large prosthetic breasts. At the time, a representative for Bryon Noem stated he was "saddened by the publication of private and intimate details of his personal life."

Bryon Noem's attorney emphasized that Bryon's "priority is to protect the family and move forward as loving parents and grandparents."
