The wife of Nevada Gov. Jim Gibbons decided to disregard her estranged husband’s bid to keep their divorce trial private and revealed he had an affair with another woman.

According to the Associated Press, Dawn Gibbons’ attorney, Cal Dunlap, said that the law cited by the governor’s attorney in sealing the divorce files violated both the U.S. Constitution and the Nevada Constitution.

Dunlap also revealed that Gov. Gibbons wanted to end his marriage because of his "his infatuation and involvement" with another woman than his wife. Apparently, that woman was Gibbons’ companion at “bar, lunch, dinner and even grocery store.”

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Wednesday that the governor said he was only been friends with the woman for 15 years, but "there is nothing inappropriate about that friendship."

Gary Silverman, Gov. Gibbons’ attorney, said this was the only public comment that the governor intended to make on the subject and he would not make further comments regarding the subject, which he considered “personal and private.”

In his divorce complaint filed May 2, Jim Gibbons listed incompatibility as reason of the divorce that would end his marriage of 22 years.

Dawn Gibbons, 54, expressed her desire to continue her duties as first lady and suggested that Jim Gibbons could move back into the Governor’s Mansion in Carson City and she would live in a guest house on the grounds, the Associated Press reports.
