White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci may have won his political battle against ex-Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, but he lost a domestic war with his wife. Page Six reported that Deidre Ball, the wife of Scaramucci, filed for Divorce because of her soon-to-be ex-husband’s naked political ambition.
With the filing, the couple will end three years of marriage. Ball disdained his unending effort to become close to President Donald Trump whom she hates. Scaramucci’s dream came true last week when he was appointed communications director which destroyed three people in a span of one week.
3 victims of Scaramucci’s naked ambition
When Scaramucci took the job of communications director, Press Secretary Sean Spicer resigned on the same day. A week later, the former Wall Street financier went into a rant, hitting Priebus and Chief Strategist Steve Bannon. On Friday, Trump accepted the resignation of Priebus and replaced him with retired Gen. John Kelly, the current secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. On the same day, news broke that Ball filed for divorce from Scaramucci.
Scaramucci has not officially commented on the alleged filing for divorce by Ball, the vice president for investor relations of SkyBridge Capital. Scaramucci opened SkyBridge in 2005 but sold it recently when he accepted the White House position.
He, however, asked for prayers for his family in a tweet.
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.

According to Bustle, Ball does not have a Twitter account, although based on a 2016 tweet by Scaramucci, she once had one using the handle@MrsAScaamucci.
She reportedly deleted the account when Scaramucci joined the White House. She is a graduate of the University of Buffalo in 2001 and listed her address as Manhasset, New York, according to her profile on LinkedIn.
No kids
The two started dating in 2011 and married in 2014. She is 38 and he is 52. They have no children, but Ball, who is said to like their Wall Street life and Long Island house, reportedly had already left him because she did not like life in DC.
His marriage to Ball, which apparently crumbled while his political star is on the rise, is his second. His first wife is Lisa Miranda, whom he divorced in 2011, but they have a daughter, Amelia.
The New York Daily News reported that Scaramucci began removing photos of Ball from his social media pages. When Scaramucci was appointed communications director last week, he also deleted his old anti-Trump tweets.
