Kristi Noem’s husband Byron Noem is revealed to be a crossdresser who pays models online to talk dirty.

As if Kristi Noem’s ouster as DHS secretary wasn’t enough, she now faces a major scandal involving her husband Byron Noem. Until a few weeks ago, Byrne was a cuckold because Kristi Noem’s alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski was an open secret in the administration. But now the Daily Mail has published an investigative report supported by photos and messages that reveals Byron Noem as a secret crossdresser who pays fetish models online. More worryingly, the report claims Byrne bragged about his wife in those online chats. The report also published a photo of Byrne wearing fake breasts and pink hotpants. The Daily Mail reviewed hundreds of messages where Byrne admitted his lust for “huge, huge ridiculous breasts”. Byrne did not deny having explicit chats with models or crossdressing but said he did not make any indiscreet comments about Kristi Noem. Brian responded, “Yeah, I didn’t make any comments that would cause that.” Kristi Noem’s spokesperson told the Daily Mail that she was deeply disappointed by the revelations. “The family was shocked by this. They ask for privacy and prayers at this time.”

Who is insurance mogul Byron Noem?

Byron Noem is a businessman, an insurance mogul, father of three, and Kristi Noem’s high school boyfriend. Kristi and Brian Noem met in high school, married in 1992, and share daughters Cassidy, 31, Kennedy, 29, and son Booker, 23. Byrne supported his wife when she faced criticism over her alleged affair and during her tenure at DHS.

Daily Mail investigation into the secret life of Byron Noem

Ben Ashford and Josh Boswell led the investigation, where they verified whether the photos they found were fake or AI-generated. But he claimed that experts have ruled out this possibility. The photos’ metadata shows they were taken on an iPhone set to early 2025 Central Time, which is consistent with Byrne’s South Dakota location. In his secret pursuits, Byrne often used the pseudonym ‘Jason Jackson’. A PayPal account belonging to ‘Jason Jackson’ regularly sent deposits of between $500 and $1,000 to the woman. The Daily Mail tracked down that particular lady and confirmed that ‘Jason Jackson’ had told her that he had a wife and family. He also said that he loves his wife. One woman told DailyMail that she once pocket-dialed Jason and was left with a voicemail saying: ‘Noam Insurance, leave a message’.
