Kyrsten Sinema says she did in fact sleep with her bodyguard while he was still married … admitting as much in legal docs — though she says his estranged wife shouldn’t be allowed to sue her in North Carolina for it.

The former Arizona senator filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit in which she’s being sued by her lover’s estranged wife in North Carolina Thursday. In the papers, she admits she and Matthew Ammel began an affair about five months before he separated from his wife, Heather Ammel.

Sinema says she and Ammel became “romantic and intimate” in late May 2024 … engaging in physical intimacy for the first time on May 27 in Sonoma, California … adding that they were also physically intimate in New York City, Washington, D.C., Aspen and Phoenix in subsequent months.

Heather filed the lawsuit against Sinema in September 2025 in North Carolina.

Heather is also accusing Sinema of sending romantic messages to Matthew while he was in North Carolina … including a photo of herself wrapped in only a towel.

But Sinema says she never sent such a picture … and, even if she did, she didn’t know he was in North Carolina, so it can’t be used to give the state jurisdiction over her.
