Matthew and Heather Ammel had "a good and loving marriage" before former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema interfered, Heather Ammel alleges in her lawsuit.
www.cbsnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Kyrsten Sinema is facing a civil lawsuit filed by the ex-wife of her former security guard, who alleges Sinema had a romantic relationship with him and that this interfered with the marriage. The case has attracted national attention and has been moving through various courts, with Sinema’s team seeking dismissal on jurisdictional and evidentiary grounds.[2][3][5]
-
In March 2026, Sinema acknowledged that her relationship with the guard became romantic and intimate, noting the timeline extended into 2024 and that the two separated around late 2024, according to court filings and coverage. Her disclosures come in the context of responses to the ex-wife’s allegations in the lawsuit.[1][6]
-
Coverage has highlighted details such as where the relationship occurred and the guard’s employment timeline (hired after his Army service, moving from security role to staff fellow) and the family’s claims that the affair contributed to the dissolution of the marriage.[3][5][1]
If you’d like, I can pull key passages from these articles or summarize the timeline in a concise bullet format. I can also look for any official court filings or statements from Sinema’s camp to provide precise dates and motions.
