Kimberly Guilfoyle and her former spouse, California Governor Gavin Newsom, are in a heated exchange after she referred to him as “unrecognizable” following his comments suggesting she had “fallen prey” to Fox News culture.

Guilfoyle, 53, appeared on **The Charlie Kirk Show** on Wednesday to address her ex-husband’s criticism, which he made during a CNN podcast, where he denounced her transformation into a right-wing host.

The couple was married for five years before officially divorcing in 2006, after Guilfoyle accepted a job at a New York news outlet, later moving to Fox News, as reported by the **San Francisco Chronicle**.

Guilfoyle has identified as a “proud Republican and conservative” since she was 18, asserting that Newsom, 55, was aware of her political stance when they married.

“I didn’t change; [Newsom] did,” Guilfoyle stated during the interview. “He used to be so proud to fight for small businesses, for entrepreneurs, for those hard-working men and women. And he’s fallen prey to the left, the radical left, that is pushing him so far to the left that it’s unrecognizable.”

Guilfoyle got engaged to Donald Trump Jr. in 2020 after they began dating in 2018. In contrast, Newsom married actress Jennifer Siebel Newsom in 2008.

Guilfoyle worked at Fox News until 2018 when she resigned to join Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. Since then, she has gained prominence as a right-wing influencer, particularly after her engagement to Trump Jr.

Meanwhile, Newsom, now 48, shares four children with his wife, Jennifer. He recently won re-election as governor of California in November. There is ongoing speculation about his potential political ambitions, as he maintains a national profile and runs campaign ads beyond California.

Political analysts suggest that Newsom may be positioning himself as a possible successor to President Biden, despite Biden’s assertions that he is not too old to seek a second term in 2024.

If Newsom chooses to run for president, he would be competing against Donald Trump, who is Guilfoyle’s future father-in-law.
