Representative Beth Van Duyne (R-TX) has confirmed that she is dating Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA), just one day after news of his divorce broke, and his wife dropped a cryptic hint that the two had engaged in an affair. On Thursday, Van Duyne confirmed reports that the two have become more than casual, conservative colleagues. âHis marriage has been over for quite some time as I understand it, heâs filed for divorce,â Van Duyne told the Daily Mail. âIâm single. Weâre both parents of adult children and empty nesters. We are happily engaged in a relationship and beyond that it's a personal issue,â she added. McCormick filed for divorce earlier this month, amid reports that he and Van Duyne were seen getting cozy in the House chambers, reportedly holding hands beneath a table.
