Kristi Noem's alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski has lingered on headlines for years.
The alleged extramarital relationship between the ICE Barbie and her acting chief of staff allegedly started as early as 2019 when they were spotted being touchy-feely on multiple events, including an annual fishing trip hosted by investment manager Foster Friess, the 2019 Florida conference and the 2019 AMPFest.
Facebook photos dated December 2019 also showed Noem and Lewandowski shopping for a dog, though it was unconfirmed whether the pooch was a Christmas gift for her son.

Several sources came forward with shocking claims about Noem and Lewandowski's love affair in the years thereafter.
According to one insider, the two had an obvious hookup during an event at Mar-a-Lago in December 2020, with Noem allegedly sitting on Lewandowski's lap."This has been a known, open thing and we've all been waiting for it to blow up at some point," one onlooker alleged.
There were also reportedly seen mingling after conferences, including the time they allegedly took a long beach stroll while at the 2020 Republican Attorneys General Association meeting.
Additionally, a confidant told The New York Post they were bewildered after spotting Noem and Lewandowski getting overly affectionate toward each other in a hotel lobby at the 2021 Conservative Political Action Conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orlando, Fla."It's a lobby bar where everyone is staying, and so there's a bajillion political operatives and journalists and electeds around. I remember I saw it with my own eyes and a couple other people saw it, and the blatantness was absurd," they said.
Clapping back after American Greatness published a report about the alleged illicit relationship, the former South Dakota governor wrote in a since-deleted post on X, "These rumors are total garbage and a disgusting lie. These old, tired attacks on conservative women are based on a falsehood that we can't achieve anything without a man's help."Noem said she loves her husband, Bryon, adding, "I'm proud of the God-fearing family we've raised together."
