Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is divorcing her transvestite husband Bryon, the mother of the former South Dakota governor said in a new interview.
“It was difficult, but we knew it was going to happen, that they were going to get a divorce,” Corinne Arnold told the Daily Mail at her home next door to the ranch where the Noems lived and raised their three children.
Arnold said her daughter shared her plans in late spring, shortly after photos emerged of Bryon, 56, sporting huge fake breasts while talking to a fetish performer.

It is unclear whether Kristi Noem, who allegedly had a years-long affair with former Trump campaign chairman Corey Lewandowski, has changed her mind in recent months, and there have been no announcements of divorce.
Arnold said that she learned this news when the whole family went to the birthday party of the grandson of the scandalous couple.
“She doesn’t tell me what she thinks. Finally I said, “What’s the matter?” Are you going to get back together? And she said, “No. No. We’re going to get a divorce,” Noem’s mother told the Mail.
“And I said, ‘Who’s your lawyer?’ And she said it was someone from Sioux Falls.
In late March, the publication reported that Bryon Noem had chatted with women in the so-called “bimbofification” fetish scene, in which adult performers enlarge their breasts with massive amounts of saline to achieve a “Barbie doll” appearance, and even indulged in the trend himself.

President Trump fired Noem from her job at DHS on March 5, shortly before the embarrassing revelation.

The “last straw” for Trump was Noem’s appearance at a congressional hearing a day earlier, where she refused to answer a direct question about whether there were rumors that she had a “sexual relationship” with Lewandowski, administration sources told The Post.
Her refusal – after Byron, her husband of 34 years, joined her in the hearing room – was seen by many as an admission of infidelity.

However, Noem’s mother insisted that she did not have an affair with Lewandowski.
“Christie would never do that,” she said. “That’s not how I raised my children. And Corey has his own wonderful family and young children.”
Trump was also disappointed that Noem said he approved a $220 million DHS ad campaign starring the secretary of state herself, the sources said.
