Rep. Ilhan Omar’s husband, Ahmed Hirsi, wants out and is ready to file for divorce from the controversial freshman congresswoman. This according to a longtime friend of the couple, who has been speaking to the New York Post.
The unnamed source told the New York tabloid that Hirsi is disgusted with Omar’s behavior and is poised to file for divorce after the revelation in a bombshell court filing that she allegedly had an affair with DC political consultant Tim Mynett.
The Minnesota congresswoman and her husband allegedly separated in March, and Omar asked Hirsi to divorce her around that time because she didn’t want to file the papers — but Hirsi refused, telling her if she wanted a divorce she should do it herself, said the source, who has known both parties for 20 years.
But now, the husband allegedly changed his mind after Tim Mynett’s wife last week filed bombshell divorce papers claiming her husband was having an affair with the Somali-born US representative. The source tells the Post that Hirsi is angry that he had been made to look the fool by the allegations of the extramarital affair.
“I’m surprised he hasn’t filed already,” the source told The Post, adding that Hirsi was “very confused” in the wake of the bombshell allegations, but that he claims that he still loved his wife and was reluctant to expose their three children to a public divorce battle.
The freshman congresswoman, 37, insisted she and Hirsi, 39, were still together and denied the charge she was dating Mynett in an interview with CBS affiliate WCCO, on the day back in August that Mynett’s wife filed for divorce.
However, the Post has confirmed that Omar and Hirsi have been living apart since March — around the same time she was spotted having dinner with Mynett at a California restaurant — with Omar moving into a luxury condo in downtown Minneapolis and their split an “open secret” in town.
The family home they shared in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood — nicknamed “Little Mogadishu” for its large Somali population — appears to be abandoned, with the curtains drawn and cobwebs growing over the front porch, when a Post reporter visited last week.
Hirsi, a senior policy aide to a Minneapolis city councilwoman, is reportedly bouncing between friends’ houses and stays at the luxury condo when Omar isn’t in town, with the kids also spending time with a grandfather, the source said.
Omar’s Marriage History a Tangled Web
Omar and Hirsi were first engaged in 2002. But the duo never legally married; instead, they wed in a traditional Muslim ceremony and had two children before splitting up in 2008, Omar has said.
The next year, she married Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom she described as a “British citizen,” records show. They split up in 2011 and Omar and Hirsi got back together and had a third child in 2012, records show.
In 2017, Omar finally officially divorced Elmi. She legally wed Hirsi the next year. But they began experiencing marital problems shortly after Omar assumed office, said the source.
However, public documents obtained by The Post raise discrepancies in the timeline of Omar’s marriages to Hirsi and Elmi.
Documents suggest Omar never stopped living with Hirsi — even after they ended their religious marriage and she was legally married to Elmi. In February 2009, when Omar legally married Elmi, she listed their marital address as a property in Columbia Heights, a suburb in Minneapolis.
However, just three months later, Hirsi used the same Columbia Heights property as his personal address on business filings for his One on One Cafe Lounge.
Two months later in August 2009, Omar began studying political science at North Dakota State University.
Omar and Hirsi moved to North Dakota together with their two children, according to a 2013 article in Twin Cities Daily Planet, even though she was supposed to be estranged from Hirsi and married to Elmi.
In traffic violations from 2008 to 2012 — the entire time Omar was married to Elmi — the congresswoman and Hirsi also listed their address as the family home in Cedar-Riverside, suggesting they never stopped living together.
The congresswoman has refused to comment on both the affair allegations and the discrepancies in her marriages — dodging questions from a Post reporter at an event in Minneapolis last week.
Gee a democrat politician who would lie to coverup illegal activity, that is such a surprise, Iam totally shocked.
What ever happened to honor killings?
This garbage is worse than a SOAP OPERA . . . You can’t just make this stuff up! She (and “the squad”) have turned The Congress (the part run by the Democrats, anyway) into the world’s biggest laughing stock. Just listen – you don’t need a joke book or watch a sitcom anymore. Just tune in to the local news about what these Congressmen AND women are saying. It’s disgusting and DEPLORABLE. Lets CLEAN UP! . . . Team Trump and his allies 2020.
It is a mess! But you have got to be deranged to even jokingly suggest that con man, criminal, racist trump and his administration of crooks can clean up anything! The worst president, overall, in the history of our country! Whose presidency has made the US
a national, international, and global embarrassment!!
It’s unbelievable that this piece of “SH*T” Omar is still working in Congress and the American Taxpayers are still paying her Salary.
Nancy Pelosi and the rest of Democrat Party are well aware that Omar has been under investigation for ‘MARRIAGE FRAUD…MARRIED TO HER BROTHER; IMMIGRATION FRAUD, TAX FRAUD; CAMPAIGN FINANCE FRAUD…USING THE CAMPAIGN MONEY FOR RUNNING AROUND WITH HER MARRIED BOYFRIEND, CONGRESSIONAL AIDE, TIM MYTNETT.(HIS WIFE HAS FILED FOR DIVORCE).THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW IF ILLAN OMAR IS HER REAL NAME AND IF SHE ENTERED THE USA LEGALLY
OMAR WHO IS ANTI-SEMITIC & ANTI-AMERICA AND HAS SAID ‘WHITE MAN ARE DANGEROUS”, THEN WHAT IS SHE DATING A “WHITE MAN” AND HAS DESTROYED HIS MARRIAGE?
The Democrat Socialist Party IS SO EVIL, CORRUPT, HATEFUL, LIARS AND A DANGER TO AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND A DISGRACE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
THEY SHOULD ALL DISAPPEAR FROM THE PLANET EARTH.
EVER WHO THE FOUR CLOWNS ,THEY SHOULD BE FIRED TOO.
THEY ALL ARE NOT GOOD FOR U.S.A.
RAIL ROAD THEM OUT.
OK…UM….So this is HOW African people (Women) behave???
‘They’ DEMAND that ‘WE’ CHANGE America to ‘THEIR’ BELIEFS.
NO THANK YOU!!!!!
The truth is, Ilhan Omar is a lesbian who participates in regular foursomes with Rashida Tlaib, Linda “The Lesbo” Sarsour and Ramsea Odeh! All four terrorists are Dirty Dykes and automatic lesbians!
LOL
She can always remarry her brother
your typical Minnesota Democrat
You have a comb for my salad?
There’s an acronym for this: J.A.W. Just Another Whore. In the best traditions of Kamala Harris.
Garbage! The people that put her in office should be investigated. It is plain to see she hates this country. Why she was ever elected remains a mystery to me. Must be a lot of people from her area that hates America.
Lord she is worse than Ohomo marrying Michael. She just marries everybody. She will probably marry this American woman’s husband next. And This is what the DemoRats wants in Congress????
very confused women,,one term congresswomen ( hopefully) If she was in Somalia she’d already been stoned
I thought in the Islamic state, the woman was subservient to her husband. Sounds like she’s wearing the pant here. Maybe we just can’t see it under her hijab!
So is either of these two chumps the brother we have heard so much about? Did she actually marry her brother to get him admitted to the U.S. and if so, why does this article not mention anything about this. Then there is the issue of her tax filings and possible bigamy. This woman is sure some piece of work and people actually elected her. So much for the intelligence of the people in her district.
May Allaah (SWT) guide us all to the right path! Ameen! Peace on earth!
