Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar revealed she married her fundraising chief Tim Mynett.
In a nighttime social media post, Omar made the announcement with a black-and-white picture of the two, adding the caption, “Got married! From partners in politics to life partners, so blessed. Alhamdulillah.” Fellow “squad” member and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib responded to the post on social media, writing, “Alf Mabrook sis. So happy for you.”
Omar, 38, married Mynett earlier this week at an undisclosed location, according to the Daily Mail.
Omar’s romantic history has sparked much speculation, with some asserting she married her own brother to assist him in obtaining U.S. citizenship. Over the years, Omar has had multiple marriages, first to Ahmed Hirsi in 2002 and then to British citizen Ahmed Elmi in 2009, mothering three children to both fathers.
However, she later divorced Elmi in 2017 to re-marry her first husband, Hirsi. But as Hirsi reportedly made a visit to Omar in Washington, D.C., after marrying her in 2018, he discovered her having an affair with Mynett.
At the time of the alleged affair, which Omar has denied, Mynett was also married. However, Mynett and his wife divorced one month after the affair.
