'They Don't Hide It': Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski Are 'Still' Getting Intimate as Alleged Explosive Affair Unfolds

An explosive new book details the alleged long-standing affair between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her senior advisor Corey Lewandowski.

In her forthcoming book, Undue Process: The Inside Story of Trump's Mass Deportation Program, NBC News reporter Julia Ainsley describes the relationship as "common knowledge" among Washington insiders and claims the couple is still intimate.

Ainsley had conversations with Trump administration insiders who confirmed the pair is "still f------,” while insiders at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the Ainsley the two "don't hide it."

Shortly after President Donald Trump's second inauguration, senior DHS officials reportedly held a clandestine meeting to discuss the "gathering crisis" caused by the relationship and how it might impact the department.

The alleged affair has been described by insiders as “the worst kept secret in D.C.”

The Atlantic obtained advance excerpts of Ainsley’s book, which alleges that Lewandowski — despite being a "special government employee" — wields "unchecked power" at DHS, influencing which information reaches Noem's desk and overseeing high-level contracting processes.

Ainsley details an incident on a government jet in which a story about a missing heated blanket was allegedly used as a cover to retrieve a bag belonging to Noem that contained potentially embarrassing items.

Reports claim Lewandowski allegedly attempted to fire a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after her blanket was left behind during a plane transfer.

During the flight, Lewandowski supposedly confronted staff about the missing item. When the pilot, Keith Thomas, took responsibility as the aircraft commander, Lewandowski reportedly said he was "relieved of his duty."

Thomas was reinstated quickly because the Coast Guard could not find a replacement crew member to fly the delegation back to Washington, D.C.

The book also details how Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is “personally repelled” by the alleged affair as he is “a hard-liner when it comes to monogamy in marriage.”

Miller reportedly warned a Customs and Border Patrol official to “stay away from Corey.”

Noem and Lewandowski have repeatedly denied the allegations, with Lewandowski previously dismissing them as "bulls----.”

A spokesperson for DHS dismissed the claims as "salacious, baseless gossip.”

The POTUS has stood by Noem, with sources saying he views her personal controversies as an asset for the DHS role rather than a liability.

The DHS secretary has transformed from her humble beginnings as South Dakota’s low-key governor to the face of President Trump’s widely unpopular immigration policies.

The Atlantic’s McKay Coppins wrote a piece on the book titled “The First Couple of a Dysfunctional DHS,” in which he said that Noem “underwent an extensive physical transformation to conform to a certain MAGA aesthetic — including dental surgery and other apparent cosmetic enhancements—and, by 2024, she was traveling with a personal makeup artist.”

Noem has been married to Bryon Noem since 1992. They share three children. The couple continues to appear together at official events.

Bryon recently accompanied his wife to the National Governors Association gathering at the White House, and the DHS secretary made sure to show he was with her in a video clip on her social media showing him checking in for a flight back to South Dakota.

Lewandowski, meanwhile, has been married to Alison Hardy since 2005 and they have four children.
