Details about Bryon Noem's affair revealed in texts and phone recordings
Bryon Noem, husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, admitted things became "really bad at home" after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were shot dead by U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Text and phone recordings obtained by The Daily Mail reveal a years-long relationship between Bryon Noem and sex worker Shy Sotomayor, during which he discussed cross-dressing and dreaming of becoming a woman named Chrystal.
After Sotomayor discovered his identity in late 2025, Bryon Noem expressed distress over the ICE shootings and added, "I've got to stop everything and focus on me. Thank you. I'll be deleting all my stuff."
Two weeks later, Bryon Noem reached out again. This time around, he stated he liked his wife, despite having discussed leaving Kristi Noem for Sotomayor.
Trump fired Kristi Noem earlier this year amid rumors of an affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski.
