Hope Hicks, President Donald Trump's former communications director, has come into focus amid allegations of Corey Lewandowski and Kristi Noem's affair. The two were both at the Department of Homeland Security, with the latter acting as Secretary, and the former as an advisor who was de facto Noem's chief of staff. However, Noem is not the woman Lewandowski allegedly had an affair with.

In January 2018, reporter Michael Wolff published his book Fire and Fury, where he claimed Lewandowski and Hicks had an ongoing relationship. He alleged that the relationship had prompted Trump to tell Hicks she was the ‘best piece of tail’ Lewandowski would ever have, as per a report from Nicki Swift.

Now that Noem has been replaced with Senator Markwayne Mullin for the Secretary post, Lewandowski and her links have come into focus, and Hicks' name has come up as well.

“First it was Hope Hicks, then Noem. Wonder who Corey will go after next to stay close to this Administration?,” one person remarked. Another said “If reports are true about Lewandowski, this is not his first high profile affair. Hope Hicks apparently knows him intimately.”

With interest in Hicks growing, many wondered if she was married. Notably, both Lewandowski and Noem are married to Alison and Bryon respectively.
