US Rep. Ilhan Omar has filed for divorce from the father of her three kids — amid allegations that she had an affair with a DC-based political consultant. 

The freshman congresswoman filed to split from husband Ahmed Hirsi on Friday last week in Minnesota, the state she represents, the New York Post reports. 

Omar, 38, and Hirsi were married in a religious ceremony in 2002. The two separated in 2008, then legally remarried in 2018.
