Anthony Scaramucci's wife Deidre files for divorce



The wife of Anthony Scaramucci has filed for divorce.

Multiple sources tell Page Six that Deidre Ball has decided to call it quits with the newly appointed White House Communications Director after three years of marriage.

'She is tired of his naked ambition, which is so enormous that it left her at her wits’ end,' said one source.

Another source said that Scaramucci's new boss was also causing problems in the couple's relationship.

'Deidre is not a fan of Trump, and she hasn’t exactly been on board and supportive of Anthony and his push to get back into the White House,' said the second source.

On Friday evening, Scaramucci tweeted: 'Leave civilians out of this. I can take the hits, but I would ask that you would put my family in your thoughts and prayers & nothing more.'

This will be the second divorce for the father-of-three, who has a daughter Amelia, 21, and two sons, 18-year-old Anthony Jr and Alexander, 24, who goes by AJ.



The Wall Street financier, 53, married Ball in 2014, but it is unclear when the two began dating.

Ball, 38, left her job as a vice president in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital after Scaramucci sold the firm.

She has donated money to both Republican and Democratic politicians, including Rep. Kathleen Rice's (D-N.Y.) campaign, and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's presidential bid, The Hill reported.

She and Scaramucci live in the Long Island town of Manhasset, which is also home to Bill O'Reilly and Jose Reyes.

He was photographed at the White House on Friday without his wedding ring, although the band was spotted on his finger when he appeared on the morning television shows from the front lawn of the White House on Wednesday.

Scaramucci was previously married to Lisa Miranda, who is the mother of Amelia.

Miranda appears to have far different political leanings than her ex-husband, having supported Hillary Clinton in the recent election.

She also proved to be very calm and collected in the wake of President Trump's surprise election win, writing on Facebook: 'Congratulations to those who chose to support Donald Trump; I sincerely hope that he proves to be all u hoped for.'

She then said to her fellow Clinton supporters: 'What seems like a set-back is just a set-up for a future of true equality.'



Ball has managed to keep a low profile throughout her husband's bombastic campaign to land a position at the White House on President Trump's staff.

She also seemed to be supportive of her husband's political ambitions as she appeared with him at events and even posed alongside him as he flaunted his 'Make America Great Again' cap.

Soon after he sold Skybridge, Scaramucci was named Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs and an assistant to President Trump.

'Anthony is focusing on his children, his work for the president and the American people. There is nothing more important to him,' said the second course, who is close to the moneyman.

'I don’t know who Deidre thought she was marrying but anyone who knows Anthony knows he’s an ambitious man.'

Scaramucci got his start in the world of finance at Goldman Sachs, working at the firm for 17 years after graduating from law school in 1989.

He then left in 1996 to start his own firm, Oscar Capital Management, which in 2001 sold to Neuberger Berman.

It was in 2005 that he created Sky Capital, which became his biggest success and pushed his fortune over the billion-dollar mark.

One of the myth-like stories told about Scaramucci is the one about how he was hired, fired and then rehired by Goldman in the span of just one year.

That polarizing characteristics that could make such a situation seem plausible were certainly on display this week, when Scaramucci delivered a foul-mouthed tirade of an interview to a reporter from the New Yorker after failing to state at any point that what he was saying was off the record.

While Scaramucci chalked up his comments in the interview as 'colorful language', he cancelled his appearances on a number of panels at Politicon this weekend

In the end, President Trump elected to part with Scaramucci's nemisis, the former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, rather than his new right-hand man.

Scaramucci has also hosted the Fox Business Network's Wall Street Week in 2015 after he pitched the idea of a revival to Roger Ailes.
