Kristi Noem’s cross-dressing husband Bryon breaks his silence on divorce to say he welcomes the chance to tell his side of the story in court
Kristi Noem’s crossdressing husband has broken his silence on his impending divorce from the former Department of Homeland Security boss.
‘Bryon is saddened that the marriage is ending and hopes for a private and amicable resolution,’ Bryon Noem, 56, said in a statement issued through his attorney Tim Bottum.
‘If court proceedings become necessary, Bryon will welcome the opportunity to truthfully share his perspective. Bryon’s priority is to protect the family and move forward as loving parents and grandparents.’
The statement comes after it was finally confirmed late Monday that former DHS Secretary Kristi, 54, was divorcing her husband of 34 years.
Papers citing ‘irreconcilable differences’ were drawn up on April 6 – six days after a bombshell Daily Mail report revealing how dad-of-three Bryon liked to dress in women’s clothes to chat online with busty bimbo models.
Bryon accepted service on April 8 but the documents were not filed at the Hamlin County Circuit Court in Kristi’s home state of South Dakota until Monday morning.
It came as little surprise, however, that the couple are calling it quits after Kristi’s mom Corrine Arnold, 78, let slip to the Daily Mail in July that her daughter had hired a lawyer and started divorce proceedings.
‘I feel bad, sick that they’re getting a divorce, but what else can you do?’ Corrine said. ‘The way that I brought up my kids, I know that they don’t just jump into big decisions.

‘It took a long time for her to figure it out.’
Law firm Loos, Sabers & Smith, based out of Rapid City, said the former South Dakota Governor would not be commenting on the split.
‘Kristi Noem has filed for the dissolution of her marriage to Bryon Noem,’ the firm said in a statement.
‘She has great faith in the South Dakota judicial system and will reserve any further comments for the legal process.’
Kristi and insurance mogul Bryon married in 1992 and have three children: Kassidy, 31, Kennedy, 29, and Booker, 23.
But their marriage has been dogged for years by reports that the petite pol was having an alleged affair with her longtime adviser Corey Lewandowski.
