Newsom is currently married to Jennifer Siebel Newsom and they have four children. Among other moves, Newsom expanded Deputy Chief of Staff Lindsey Cobia’s role to “help guide communications” as deputy chief of staff for strategy; all other positions were newly hired political operatives. This isn’t the first affair for Newsom, in 2018, Ruby Rippey Gibney, Newsom’s appointment secretary when he was Mayor of San Francisco, revealed that she had an affair with Newsom.
