Gavin Newsom Takes Frosty Look Back At Marriage To Kimberly Guilfoyle

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a new memoir that he was going through the motions in his courtship with Kimberly Guilfoyle.

Newsom and Guilfoyle wed in 2001 and divorced during his first term as San Francisco mayor in 2006.

Painting their union as a convenient platform for strivers, Newsom wrote in a New York Times-provided excerpt in “Young Man in a Hurry”:

“I would go through all the motions until the motions led me right up to the altar.”

“I had become quite skilled at repressing my feelings and Kimberly allowed me this emotional distance,” he wrote, adding that their divorce was “amicable.”

As part of the couple dubbed “The New Kennedys,” Guilfoyle told the Washington Post in 2018 that she had always been a Republican but sort of kept it on the down-low.

She later worked for Fox News (where Newsom theorized she “fell prey” to the culture) and let her MAGA flag fly. She served as an adviser to President Donald Trump and got engaged to and split from Donald Trump Jr. She is now the ambassador to Greece.

Newsom married Jennifer Siebel in 2008 and is in the conversation to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028.

In his single days as mayor, he wrote in the book that he didn’t behave “with discernment.”

He described his affair with his deputy chief of staff’s wife as “the worst betrayal of my life.” (He and Guilfoyle were in the throes of divorce at the time, People reported.)

“I thought of myself as a single guy who happened to be mayor,” Newsom wrote. “Had my head been on straight, I would have seen it was the other way around.”

“Young Man in a Hurry” is due out Feb. 24.
