The Trump White House has been plagued by rumors of illicit romances - and now Hope Hicks is at the apex

The Daily Mail was first to report that Hope Hicks and Rob Porter was "spotted canoodling" in a cab after dinner with friends last week. Several people familiar with the relationship also told CNN that the pair was dating.

Earlier this week, The Daily Mail and The Intercept reported that Porter's two ex-wives said that Porter had been abusive during their relationships. Reports included photos of black eyes that Colbie Holderness, who was married to Porter for five years, says her ex-husband gave her.

Porter resigned Wednesday, though he said the allegations were "outrageous" and "simply false." He did not deny any specific acts.

Prior to Porter's resignation, Hicks reportedly helped White House chief of staff John Kelly craft a statement to support Porter on Tuesday.

"Rob Porter is a man of true integrity and honor, and I can't say enough good things about him," read Kelly's statement. "He is a friend, a confidante, and a trusted professional. I am proud to serve alongside him."

Hicks has previously been romantically linked to former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

Early in the Trump campaign, Hicks — then a spokesperson for Trump — developed a reputation for her more under-the-radar style, especially compared to her frequently bombastic coworkers. One of the few public cracks in Hicks' facade was a public screaming match with Lewandowski in May 2016, reported by The New York Post.

The rumored relationship resurfaced with the publication of Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House". Wolff wrote that Lewandowski and Hicks had an on-again-off-again relationship during Trump's campaign.

Lewandowski left the Trump campaign in June 2016, after many criticized his aggressive style. According to Wolff, Hicks told Trump she wanted to help Lewandowski after he was cut off from the campaign.

"Trump, who otherwise seemed to treat Hicks in a protective and even paternal way, looked up and said, 'Why? You’ve already done enough for him. You’re the best piece of tail he’ll ever have,'" Wolff wrote in "Fire and Fury."

Lewandowski described Hicks as "smart and private, with a nearly photographic memory," in his own book, "Let Trump Be Trump."

A.J. Delgado and Jason Miller, two high-profile Trump staffers known for supporting the candidate with TV appearances, had a secret relationship during Trump's campaign.

Delgado told The Atlantic that the relationship deteriorated soon after the election in December 2016, when she told Miller she was pregnant. Miller was married to a different woman at the time, though Delgado says she believed he was separated.

According to Delgado, Miller said the news was "going to be extra awkward for me to handle" because his wife was also expected a baby.

Miller was appointed White House communications director in December, but turned down the role two days later — after Delgado sarcastically tweeted her congratulations to "the baby-daddy."

Earlier this week, Delgado took to Twitter to slam Miller for apparently telling people (as reported in Vanity Fair) that he didn't want a job in the White House because he "needs to earn a private-sector income to make child support payments".

"I'd also really love to know who is receiving 'child support payments that req private-sector-level income' bc it sure as heck isn't my son," Delgado wrote on Twitter.

"Miller's Comms Dir role last Dec was not revoked because of a mere 'extramarital affair.' He (a) impregnated (b) a subordinate (c) got her pregnant (d) while his own wife was six months pregnant," Delgado wrote in a separate tweet.

President Trump's reported dalliances have been tabloid fodder for years. Now, the rumors are following him to the White House.

In an interview with HBO's Bill Maher in mid-January, Wolff implied that he believed Trump was having an affair but he didn't have "ultimate proof."

"You just have to read between the lines," Wolff said. "It's toward the end of the book."

Some people theorized that Wolff was referring to Nikki Haley, the US's ambassador to the United Nations. Haley shot down rumors in an interview with Politico, calling them "highly offensive" and "disgusting."

Others theorized that Wolff was referring to Hicks, due to a passage describing her "devoted to accommodating" Trump. And, some — including Trump — said that Wolff's book was "phony" and that his reporting couldn't be trusted.

While this relationship wasn't between two Trump staffers, Anthony Scaramucci's romantic life deserves an honorable mention — specifically his rumored relationship with Fox News anchor

In October 2017, a few months after Scaramucci's 11-day stint as communications director, The New York Post's Page Six reported the pair had been seen "house-hunting together in Manhattan and of a romantic trip to Rome last month."

On July 29, two days before Scaramucci was fired from the Trump White House, The Post reported that his wife Deidre Ball had filed for divorce "after getting fed up with his ruthless quest to get close to President Trump, whom she despises."
