Kellyanne Conway and her husband split after 22 years – Kellyanne Conway and her husband George have filed for divorced after 22 years of marriage after admitting her husband’s criticism of Donald Trump was a betrayal.
The couple known for being political opposites has gone their separate ways after years of speculation if the pair even liked each other, according to Page Six. George has been one of Donald Trump’s biggest critics, and publicly mocked the president on Twitter while he employed his wife.
Kellyanne and George wed in 2001 and had four children – Claudia, Vanessa, Charlotte, and George – together.

Kellyanne, 56, became a Trump advisor in 2016, serving as his campaign manager. While she endlessly worked for the president, her husband – who co-founded the Lincoln Project, which worked to prevent Trump’s reelection – blasted the president on social media.
It seems the divorce hasn’t slowed his criticism down any, as he was active on Twitter lambasting the former leader on Friday, including retweeting a post where the president’s sanity was questioned.
Their political rift was brought up in Kellyanne’s 2022 memoir Here’s The Deal, where she revealed she thought of his criticism as a betrayal to their marriage. She considered his tweets ‘cheating’ and it was revealed Trump’s daughter Ivanka had suggested the pair seek therapy.
Trump himself had even called George a ‘stone cold LOSER & husband from hell’ at one point.
Another blip in the family image came in 2020 after their teenage daughter Claudia criticized her mother and Trump.
Kellyanne announced in August 2020 that she would leave the White House the day after the 15-year-old said she was ‘officially pushing for emancipation’ from her parents in a series of tweets.

Kellyanne said she was leaving for the sake of her family, to be ‘less drama, more mama.’
Yet shortly after the announcement, Claudia Conway took to TikTok, stating that her parents were going to get divorced but have now called it off ‘to keep her from getting emancipated.’
She accused her father George of not caring about her and not knowing her middle name and said her mother has been physically abusive her whole life.
George also stepped back from his role on the Lincoln Project and took a brief hiatus from Twitter to focus on family.
In a statement at the time, Kellyanne called her time in the Trump administration ‘heady’ and ‘humbling,’ and said she and George were making the decision based on what they think is best for their four children.
‘We disagree about plenty,’ she wrote of her and her husband, ‘but we are united on what matters most: the kids.

‘Our four children are teens and ‘tweens starting a new academic year in the middle school and high school that will be conducted remotely from home for a least a few months. As millions of parents nationwide know, kids ‘doing school from home’ requires a level of attention and vigilance that is as unusual as these times.’
Conway continued: ‘This is completely my choice and my voice. In time, I will announce future plans. For now, and for my beloved children, it will be less drama, more mama.’
Months later, more drama spilled between Kellyanne and Claudia after the latter posted a TikTok publicly accusing her mother was hiding her positive COVID-19 diagnosis and saying Trump is worse than he claims.
Claudia posted on the site to ‘clarify’ her claim that the Donald Trump aide had ‘lied’ about her test result on Friday – but the pair argued in the video as Kellyanne accused her daughter of ‘lying about your f**king mother.’
