Sarah Palin discusses a new romance divorce and running for congress

Sarah Palin is getting personal about her divorce from ex Todd in 2020 after three decades of marriage — and her newfound relationship with retired New York Rangers player, Ron Duguay.

In a new interview with The New York Post, 58-year-old Palin described the divorce as “earth-shattering.”

“It was the most earth-shattering, bizarre thing I could have ever imagined and it kind of remains so,” she told the Post.

Palin said in a 2019 interview that she had learned her husband was seeking a divorce via an email from his attorney. The two share five children.

The former couple has seemingly moved on, however, with Palin telling the Post Todd now “spends his time with his girlfriend whom he’s had for some time now.”

The former Republican vice presidential nominee, meanwhile, has her own new relationship with 64-year-old Duguay, who was previously married to supermodel Kim Alexis.

Palin told the Post that that the relationship was sparked when she called Duguay, an old friend, to seek advice about her defamation trial against The New York Times. (She sued the paper for libl, over a past editorial that falsely linked her political group’s statements to a mass shooting.)

While the suit was ultimately dismissed (a federal judge said Palin failed to prove the Times acted with “actual malice”), her relationship with Duguay — which she described to the Post as “safe and comfortable” — blossomed.

Amid the trial, Duguay acted as something of a New York guide, she added. “On my free time, he would walk all over New York and he would show me what he and the Rangers did back in the day, or at least where they did it.”
