The cat is out of the bag. Former Democrat senator from Arizona, Kyrsten Sinema, has just admitted to having an affair. According to court documents, Sinema admitted to having an affair with a bodyguard she employed when she was an acting U.S. Senator. Fox News reported details on the affair: Former Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema admitted to having an affair with her former bodyguard while in office and while he was still married — an admission that came by way of an explosive new court filing in the state of North Carolina, seeking to dismiss a so-called “homewrecker” lawsuit filed by the bodyguard’s estranged wife. Sinema, who served in the Senate from 2019 to 2025, acknowledged the relationship with her former bodyguard, Matthew Ammel, in a motion to dismiss the “alienation of affection” lawsuit filed in North Carolina by his estranged wife. The complaint accused Sinema of engaging in “intentional and malicious interference” in Ammel’s marriage and sought $25,000 in damages from Sinema as a result of allegedly “willful and wanton” conduct. Neither the motion to dismiss, nor the sworn declaration Sinema submitted to the court, seeks to dispute the nature of her affair with Ammel — described as both “romantic and intimate.” Rather, the filings argue that the case should be dropped because the communications in question occurred “exclusively outside” the boundaries of the Tar Heel state. Combined, the new filings leave little to the imagination regarding the nature of the affair between Sinema and Ammel, which began in May 2024 in Sonoma, Calif., and involved months of phone calls, emails, and Signal messages, in addition to various romantic relations in cities across the U.S. cities. “I keep waking up during my sleep and reaching over for your arms to hold me,” Sinema told Ammel in one Signal message, which she recalled was sent in June 2024 from Scottsdale, and received by Ammel while in Kansas. That fall, another Signal exchange between the two was apparently interrupted by Ammel’s estranged wife. She allegedly responded to Sinema directly, stating: “Are you having an affair with my husband? You took a married man away from his family.” Here’s a photo of Sinema and the bodyguard: Kyrsten Sinema admits she had sex with her married bodyguard in bombshell new court papers https://t.co/J61nSeddya pic.twitter.com/wAPWKXoooL — New York Post (@nypost) March 13, 2026 The Guardian reported Sinema was physically intimate with her bodyguard over half a dozen times: As part of the filing, Sinema detailed a half-dozen encounters in which she said she was “physically intimate” with Matthew. The first documented encounter was in Sonoma, California, in late May 2024, roughly two months after she announced her decision not to seek re-election and several months before he separated from his wife. She stated that they engaged in additional encounters in New York; Washington DC; Aspen, Colorado, and Phoenix, Arizona. According to Heather’s lawsuit, she had a “good and loving marriage” with her husband before Sinema’s “deliberate interference”. She accused Sinema of pursuing Matthew despite knowing he was married. Heather maintained she discovered messages exchanged between her husband and Sinema that “exceeded the bounds of a normal working relationship and were of romantic and lascivious natures”, including a photo of the then-senator wrapped in a towel. In the lawsuit, Heather also alleged that Sinema paid for psychedelic treatment for Matthew, a US army veteran who has struggled with post-traumatic stress, substance abuse and traumatic brain injuries tied to his military deployments.
