Kellyanne Conway revealed her husband George broke her vows and cheated on their marriage by tweeting negatively about her then-boss Trump as she revealed it was her husband who pushed her into becoming the former President’s campaign manager .
The former Trump adviser appeared on CNN on Saturday morning to discuss her new book, Here’s the Deal: A Memoir, and slammed her husband when asked about the status of their marriage by CNN host Michael Smerconish.
But Conway was vague when the host asked if they were okay. Ever since her book came out in late May, she’s repeatedly dodged questions about whether they’re still married or planning a divorce. She only admitted to CBS’ Gayle King that they don’t wear their wedding rings.
While Conway worked for Trump — first as his campaign manager when he ran for office in 2016 and then as his senior advisor when he became president, her husband became one of her boss’s most high-profile critics.
His ongoing commentary on Twitter about the former president and his administration grabbed a lot of headlines, with many wondering about the state of their marriage.
“You know, in 2016, known as the year of the tweet, George Conway sent zero tweets,” Conway said on the show Saturday. “Now he has sent over 100,000.
“He can change his mind about Donald Trump, this is a free country, George has no allegiance to any political party or presidential candidate but his vows to me have been broken I think because we were all there.”
Conway added that her husband had apparently become an expert on many things that people wanted from him, but all she wanted was her husband.

George Conway became one of Trump’s most high-profile critics, though he encouraged his wife to take the campaign manager job when Trump was running for the presidency
Kellyanne Conway’s marriage to George was one of the most compelling subplots of Donald Trump’s presidency. She was one of the President’s closest advisers for four years while he became Trump’s most outspoken and high-profile public critic
“I just didn’t want to get stuck in the master bedroom on a cable news show and hear about Trump, Trump, Trump,” Conway said.
“And I think George became an expert on a lot of things that people wanted from him and all I really wanted was my husband and the father of my children like I’ve always had.”
She also pointed out that it was her husband who pushed her into taking the campaign management job.
“You know, I also write in the book, Michael, that people like to say that without Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump would not have been elected President of the United States, that’s debatable,” she said.

Kellyanne Conway’s memoir Here’s the Deal has been billed as looking beyond the headlines of the Trump administration and her family life, including her husband
“But without George Conway urging, if not insisting, me, his wife, to take this job as campaign manager and help out more with the kids and around the home, I don’t see how I could be the campaign manager at that level , which I was on. George was my partner.’
“I gave up millions of dollars to work as an official in the White House. George wanted a big job in the Trump administration, we moved to Washington as a family with our family. At some point he changed his mind about Donald Trump. It is well known that Donald Trump never changes. I haven’t changed my mind.’
Kellyanne’s memoir was billed by her publisher as looking beyond the headlines of the Trump administration and her family life, including her husband. The book was published in May.
In George’s tweets during the Trump presidency, writers and commentators speculated on the state of the Conways’ marriage.
During just one spat that erupted in public, Conway referred to then-candidate Joe Biden as “Creepy Joe” in a 2019 tweet, then sarcastically wrote, “We need Ukraine’s help to defeat THIS guy?”
This prompted Conway to retort: ”Your boss apparently thought so.”
George Trump repeatedly questioned his mental fitness for office. Trump called his senior aide’s husband a “total loser.”
At one point, Saturday Night Live did a “Marriage Story” parody of their relationship, in which Scarlett Johansson played the role of the marriage counselor.
In an example of the tweets George would gossip about Trump, he wrote in 2019: “Don’t assume that the things he says and does are part of a rational plan or strategy, because they rarely are.
“Think of them as a product of his pathologies and they make perfect sense.”
At the time, his wife refrained from speaking about their relationship or the impact of the tweets.
But in her memoir, she describes how it felt when he was unfaithful.
“During this time, the frequency and ferocity of his tweets has accelerated. He clearly cheated by tweeting,” she wrote. “I had a hard time competing with his new fling.
“I had already said publicly what I had privately said to George: that his daily barrage of tweeting insults at my boss — or, as he sometimes put it, ‘the folks in the White House’ — violated our marriage vows to one another.” love, honor and cherish”.
In 2019, Conway even spoke to Trump’s daughter about the effect it had.
Ivanka Trump suggested couples therapy could help Conway’s marriage, stating that she understands what Conway is going through.
“I’m from a Democrat family,” she said, referring to at least some of the Kushners. ‘I get it.’
Trump’s daughter later gave her a Post-It note with “the names of two local doctors who specialize in couples therapy.”
“I noticed that she avoided texting or emailing that. I appreciated the information and your thoughtfulness and wanted to follow up on it,” Conway recalled in excerpts previously obtained by .
“After I showed George the names, he declined one and half-heartedly said ‘okay’ to the other while looking at his phone. we never left
“He spent his time exactly how he wanted. If it was important to him, he would have made it happen.”
The drama continued into 2020, when Conway, along with a spate of senior Trump officials, revealed that she had contracted COVID-19.

Daughter Claudia Conway had public arguments with her mother on the Internet
But her daughter Claudia forestalled her with a post on TikTok. “Update my mum has Covid,” she wrote at the time. ‘I am angry. Wear your masks. Don’t listen to our bloody presidential idiot. Protect yourself and those around you,” she wrote in another post.
Upon learning that Kellyanne would be speaking at the Republican National Convention, she tweeted, “I’m (devastated) that my mom is actually speaking at the RNC. like DEVASTATED incomparable.”
The family drama garnered even more attention when Claudia Conway appeared as a contestant on American Idol, with both of her parents providing testimonies.
After a long public airing of arguments, Claudia released in July that she and her mother were fixing fences. “Forgiveness has taught me a lot. I love my mother and she will always inspire me despite our public conflicts. I am proud that we are living proof of breaking the cycle,” she wrote.
Conway is a longtime Republican pollster and advisor who first endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in 2016 but eventually aligned himself with Trump and became his campaign manager when he defeated Democratic nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton in one of the biggest upsets in American political history.
She was a senior adviser to the President and one of the longest-serving members in an administration notorious for frequent turnover.
Conway left in late August 2020, citing a need to spend more time with her family.
So far, Conway’s most famous words are probably “alternative facts,” her 2017 description of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s false claim that the new president had “attracted the largest audience any inauguration has ever witnessed” — both personally as well as ‘around the world.’
Conway’s credibility became an ongoing debate over whether to book her as a guest on news programs, with NYU professor and media critic Jay Rosen calling her a “fog machine.”
In 2019, CNN’s Don Lemon said it was “below the dignity of this network” to interview her just before fellow actress Dana Bash introduced Conway in a segment for her ongoing series, Badass Women of Washington.
