Former President Donald Trump is congratulating his former adviser Kellyanne Conway after reports that she and her husband, attorney George Conway, a frequent Trump critic, are headed to divorce court after 22 years of marriage.
"Congratulations to Kellyanne Conway on her DIVORCE from her wacko husband, Mr. Kellyanne Conway," Trump wrote on his Truth Social page Friday. "Free at last, she has finally gotten rid of the disgusting albatross around her neck."
He added that Kellyanne "is a great person, and will now be free to lead the kind of life that she deserves...and it will be a great life without the extremely unattractive loser by her side!" he added.
The couple made headlines when George Conway continued to criticize Trump, including through co-founding the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, while his wife served as Trump's 2016 campaign manager and then as a senior counselor for the administration from 2017 to 2020, notes Newsweek.
They were married in 2001 and are the parents of four children. According to The New York Post's Page Six, the couple has retained attorneys. The couple has not commented on the report.
The Conways' different views have been the focus of scrutiny for some time, and Trump has often launched attacks against George Conway — including last year, when he commented in a video that he is "mentally ill, a very sick man. I don't know what Kellyanne did to him, but it must have been really bad. She has totally destroyed this guy—his mind is completely shot!"
Meanwhile, Kellyanne Conway has stayed supportive of Trump, but warned in January in a guest essay for The New York Times that his path to another term as president won't be "smooth and secure."
Kellyanne has admitted that their political differences have taken a toll on her relationship with her husband.
She wrote in her memoir "Here's the Deal" that she considered her husband's constant criticism of her boss a betrayal of their marriage and called it "cheating by tweeting." She also wrote that Ivanka Trump suggested couples therapy for them.
