Raging Moderates with Scott Galloway and Jessica TarlovSep 30, 2026
As of 2026-09-30, the sources show a widely reported and widely rumored romantic relationship between Noem and Lewandowski, but both have publicly denied it, and DHS called the reports "baseless gossip." No source confirms the relationship, so the claim cannot be graded true or false on this record.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.
What was said
… Tom is asking. No, I i i try i personally try to stay out of people's personal lives. That's very big of you. I don't. I love to dive into people's personal lives. I will just say, well, like, no one's surprised, and she's still out with Corey Lewandowski, so I imagine that had something to do with it, um, but you have to watch Tim Dillon impersonating Christy Noem's husband.

Contradicts. Noem and Lewandowski have both denied a romantic relationship, and a DHS spokesperson called the reports 'salacious, baseless gossip.' Noem called the allegations 'tabloid garbage' during a congressional hearing.[1][2][4]
Supports. Reporting describes the pair as a rumored or open-secret romance, including The Atlantic's 'rumored boyfriend' framing and a reporter's testimony that they have been dating since roughly 2019.[3][4]
Context. Sources do not confirm the relationship. Reports of sightings in August 2026 and a 2026 divorce filing citing 'irreconcilable differences' do not establish a romantic relationship, and the Newsweek item cites Noem's mother denying an affair.[5][6][7]
Context. Lewandowski left DHS in March 2026 and Noem had left the department, so the 'current' framing is not a current government role. The post says 'still out with' Lewandowski, and the claim's 'is in a relationship' is a fair paraphrase of that rumor-based framing.[1][6]
