Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego allegedly had multiple consensual sexual relationships with at least two of his colleagues’ aides while he was in the House of Representatives, the New York Post reported on Thursday.
According to the Post, Gallego admitted to an unnamed source that he had two relationships with aides to Texas Democrats. A second unnamed source said they’d “recently learned of the romantic entanglements,” according to the story. A third source corroborated those two relationships.
The Post said the relationships were believed to have been consensual and occurred between his marriages to now-Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and the senator’s current wife, Sydney. One of the women was in her 20s at the time, while Gallego would have been in his mid-to-late 30s.
Gallego divorced Kate Gallego in 2017 and married Sydney Gallego in June 2021.
