Rudy Giuliani was said to be having an affair with Christine Lategano, his Press Secretary, around 1995. The Mayor and Ms Lategano strongly refuted the allegations.

Whether the Lategano relationship was true or not, Giuliani moved on to have a secret affair with Judith Nathan in 1999. About a year later, Rudy decided to divorce Donna Hanover. This choice was then made public in a press conference without discussing the matter with Ms Hanover.
