Kristi Noem and Alleged Lover Corey Lewandowski Busted for Enjoying Time Together in Minnesota Ahead of Her Divorce

Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her alleged paramour and former top adviser, Corey Lewandowski, were spotted together in Wayzata, Minn., on Tuesday, August 4.

A viral photo shows the pair on what appears to be a casual day out, marking their first major public sighting since reports of Noem's upcoming divorce surfaced.

The duo spent the afternoon biking along the scenic shores of Lake Minnetonka before stopping for lunch at The Grocer's Table, a local market and café. They later pedaled over to the outdoor patio at CōV restaurant, according to footage obtained by TMZ.

Eyewitnesses reported the pair kept close, laughed together and looked at Noem's phone, though Lewandowski quickly turned away once he noticed they were being filmed.

Noem, 54, wore a low-brim flannel hat to stay unrecognized, while Lewandowski, 52, wore sunglasses.

Allegations of an extramarital affair between the two have circulated for years, which both have previously denied.

In March, Noem was directly asked during a House Judiciary Committee hearing if she had a sexual relationship with Lewandowski while he served as her unpaid DHS adviser. She dismissed the line of questioning as "tabloid garbage.”

President Donald Trump fired Noem from her role as Homeland Security Secretary in March. Reports indicated that administration officials supposedly grew frustrated with the workplace romance and Lewandowski’s unchecked influence inside the department.

The Minnesota outing comes after recent news that Noem is seeking a divorce from her husband of over three decades, Bryon Noem, amid a public scandal over his secret online life.

News of the split was broken in July by Kristi’s mother, Corinne Arnold, who confirmed the details during an interview with the Daily Mail.

In March, investigations revealed that Bryon had been communicating online with adult entertainers and dominatrixes.

The reports included leaks of text messages, audio recordings and photos of Bryon participating in feminization role-play and the online "bimbofication" fetish community. Most notably, photos surfaced of him wearing oversized fake bre-sts made of balloons.

In separate leaked exchanges spanning nine years, Bryon reportedly discussed his desire to leave his wife and undergo gender-affirming surgery and hormone therapy.

As Governor of South Dakota and later as Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi consistently enacted and championed policies that restricted the rights of transgender individuals, drawing heavy criticism from LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.

At the time of the leak, a spokesperson stated that Kristi was "devastated" and that the entire family had been completely "blindsided" by the disclosures.

No formal divorce filings have publicly surfaced in South Dakota court records, but the couple is no longer living together.

Bryon packed up and moved out of their family ranch, relocating to a property roughly 20 miles away, while continuing to run his local insurance business.

Kristi’s mother, meanwhile, called the long-standing affair rumors between Noem and Lewandowski a "bunch of c---," telling the Daily Mail that "Kristi would never do that. That's not how I brought my kids up.”

Lewandowski is still officially married to his wife, Alison Hardy Lewandowski, though public details about their current living situation are sparse.
