Kristi Noem's husband's alleged 'secret life' has been revealed as photos of him appearing to depict a fetish have been released.
Kristi, the former Secretary of Homeland Security who was fired from the role in March, has been married to Bryon Noem since 1992 and has been left 'blindsided' by the allegations about his online fetish forum habits.
A bombshell report by Daily Mail appears to show photographs of Bryon donning large, fake breasts, lipstick, and pink hot pants while pouting for the camera.
The news outlet alleges that it has obtained hundreds of messages from three women on the so-called 'bimbofication' scene.

As per Progressive Therapeutic Collective, 'bimbofication' can be considered a practice, kink and/or fetish that involves role-playing and transforming yourself into a stereotypical portrayal of a 'bimbo'.
Bryon's reported fetish was for '3000cc-plus boobs' specifically, per one of the women who spoke to the Mail.
"His kink is for huge, huge ridiculous boobs," she claimed.
The 56-year-old is said to have sent as much as $25,000 to his online acquaintances for images. He'd reportedly respond by sending 'bimbofied' snaps of himself.
Allegedly, Bryon would make contact with these women using the moniker 'Jason Jackson'.
A spokesperson for Kristi, who shares three kids with Bryon, has addressed the matter and said that she is 'devastated'.
"The family was blindsided by this," the spokesperson added. "They ask for privacy and prayers at this time."
LADbible Group has contacted Noem's reps for additional comment.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has said that he 'feels badly' for the Noem family in the wake of the reports.
When asked about the matter by Daily Mail reporters, the POTUS said: "They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that's the case, that's too bad."
"I haven't seen anything," Trump went on. "I don't know anything about it. That's too bad, but I just know nothing about it."
Bryon's alleged online encounters reportedly took place while his wife was still head of the DHS. This could have left Kristi vulnerable to blackmail, experts say.
Former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos shared: "If a media organization can find this out, you can assume with a high degree of confidence that a hostile intelligence service knows this as well."
He continued: "Damaging information like this can be a tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service.
"They approach the person and say, if you work with us we won't expose this, and if you don't, we will. That's espionage 101."
After being fired from the DHS, Kristi is now the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas (a multinational military coalition established by Trump).
