By Victor Nava and Josh Christenson

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) filed for divorce earlier this month and is rumored
to be romantically involved with House colleague Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas).

The Georgia Republican filed for divorce from his wife of 12 years, Debra
Miller, on May 3, Gwinnett County court records show.

Another source said they’ve been canoodling for over a year. 

The Daily Mail first reported McCormick’s breakup and alleged relationship with
Van Duyne.

In recent months, the pair were spotted “holding hands under the table” during a
Republican Study Committee lunch, a GOP member told the outlet.  

The Post confirmed this account with a third source.

The member has also witnessed McCormick “’grab the small of her back” on the
House floor.

Two individuals separately told the Daily Mail that they’ve run across McCormick
and Van Duyne holding hands.

Van Duyne divorced her ex-husband in 2012, according to the Dallas Morning News.

A spokesperson for McCormick told The Post that the congressman and his
oncologist wife are separated, but wouldn’t say for how long that’s been the
case.

some time.” Richard McCormick / Facebook

“Congressman McCormick and Dr. Miller have been separated for quite some time,”
the spokesperson said. “He has kept that private and will continue to keep his
personal life out of the media spotlight.”

McCormick’s rep also told The Post that the “rumor mill” on Capitol Hill related
to McCormick and Van Duyne is “old news,” but wouldn’t confirm or deny that the
lawmakers were in a relationship. 

Van Duyne’s office did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

When asked about the reason for the divorce, McCormick’s wife told the Daily
Mail, “I’m sure that he will not be forthcoming.” 

“You should ask Rich and his colleague,” Miller said about allegations of
infidelity. 

The first-term congressman, who represents Georgia’s 6th District, shares seven
children with Miller.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) accused McCormick of getting “physically
aggressive” with her last year after both lawmakers introduced competing
resolutions to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). 

What do you think? Post a comment.

Greene lodged a complaint with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) alleging that
her colleague “grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her.”

McCormick later said he was simply trying to “encourage” Greene after he opposed
her censure resolution and the House advanced his, and that he immediately
apologized to her.
