According to The New York Post’s Page Six, Anthony Scaramucci’s wife, Deidre Ball, is divorcing him for two reasons: his “naked political ambition” and her utter hatred for Donald Trump.
Page Six writes:
Deidre Ball, who worked as a vice president in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital, the firm he founded in 2005 and sold to ascend to the White House, has filed for divorce from “The Mooch” after three years of marriage after getting fed up with his ruthless quest to get close to President Trump, whom she despises.
A source told Page Six, “Deidre has left him and has filed for divorce. She liked the nice Wall Street life and their home on Long Island, not the insane world of D.C. She is tired of his naked ambition, which is so enormous that it left her at her wits’ end. She has left him even though they have two children together.” The source added that Scaramucci had been “hell-bent” on working for Trump in an upper-echelon position after there were initial rumors he would gain such a job.
Page Six also reported:
A second source close to Scaramucci — who has alternately not been wearing his wedding ring, or has been sporting it on his right hand — said the former couple had fought over his loyalty to Trump. This was his second marriage and Ball was noticeably not present at his recent SALT conference in mid-May.
The source told Page Six: “Deidre is not a fan of Trump, and she hasn’t exactly been on board and supportive of Anthony and his push to get back into the White House.”
Ball had a Twitter account named @MrsAScaramucci but reportedly deleted the account after her husband was appointed as White House communications director.
Ball was a vice president in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital, which Scaramucci founded; she left the job after Scaramucci sold the firm as he planned to join the White House staff.
