Deidre Scaramucci

Deidre Ball, who worked as a vice president in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital, the firm Anthony Scaramucci founded in 2005 and sold to ascend to the White House, has filed for divorce from “The Mooch” after three years of marriage after getting fed up with his ruthless quest to get close to President Trump, whom she despises. Scaramucci and Ball, 38, began dating in 2011. Deidre graduated from the University of Buffalo in 2001 with an MA in communications. She began working at Anthony’s Manhattan hedge fund, SkyBridge Capital, in 2007, as an assistant, rising to investor relations. At the time, she was married to Anthony Portelli. The two filed for divorce in 2011, the same year Anthony Scaramucci and his first wife, Lisa, 54, whom he met at church while attending Tufts University, separated after 23 years of marriage. According to reports, University of Buffalo graduate Ball donated $5,400 to the congressional campaign of anti-Trump Democrat Kathleen Rice in 2015. But she also donated $10,800 to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s presidential campaign and $2,700 to Jeb Bush’s campaign the same year. The two had their first child, Nicholas, in early 2014 and married on July 11, 2014 (once Anthony’s divorce was finalized) in an intimate beach ceremony on Long Island, according to the source close to the couple. They split their time between the North Shore and Southampton. She went by the Twitter handle @MrsAScaramucci but, according to reports, she deleted her account after her husband was appointed as White House communications director.
