Scaramucci’s wife Deidre ‘files for divorce’
ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI’S wife has reportedly filed for divorce a week after he was named White House communications director, with friends claiming that her dislike of Donald Trump and her husband’s “naked political ambition” had forced them apart.
Deidre Ball, who worked as a vice president in investor relations for Skybridge Capital, the firm he founded in 2005 and sold to ascend to the White House, has filed for divorce after three years of marriage, according to the New York Post.
“She liked the nice Wall Street life and their home on Long Island, not the insane world of DC,” a source told the paper. “She is tired of his naked ambition, which is so enormous that it left her at her wits’ end. She has left him even though they have two children together.” Mr Scaramucci responded to the news by tweeting: “Leave civilians out of this. I can take the hits, but I would ask that you would put my family in your thoughts and prayers and nothing more.”
Mr Scaramucci, 52, and Ms Ball, 38, began dating in 2011 and are believed to have married in 2014.
A second source told the Post: “Deidre is not a fan of Trump.”
On Thursday a former Miami Dolphins cheerleader announced she and her state attorney husband are to divorce, also with the president to blame.
Lynn and David Aronberg married two years ago. Mrs Aronberg’s PR firm, Transmedia, issued a press release announcing the split, describing it as a “Trump divorce”.
Mr Aronberg is yet to comment.
