The Biggest Bombshells From Gavin Newsom’s New Memoir Revealed

In his memoir, Gavin recalled Hilary telling him that he “had a pattern of letting the women in your life dictate [his] moves, referencing his cringe-inducing hubris at a red carpet event on the part of his then-wife, Kimberly Guilfoyle, and Ann Getty.

Hilary, who said he had no self-consciousness, told her brother, “If I had been there, I would have told you, ‘Get your a– off the floor.’ You are the mayor of San Francisco. That doesn’t look good.’

Additionally, he quoted his sibling, who described Guilfoyle as “smart, pretty smart, but not [her] type of girl” because “her need for attention and love could not be satisfied.”

“She was a bit exaggerated. Exaggerated style. She was never not put together, but understatement was not one of her hallmarks,” she added. ‘She had to lead a room. She had to own a room. All eyes were on her.’

Gavin and the MAGA Disciple held a wedding ceremony in December 2001, during which Tessa “put on a good smile.”

“My mother believed that the marriage was between Kimberly and me wouldn’t last“but she chose to hide those feelings from me,” he wrote.

He confirmed that Guilfoyle was not with the family when Tessa died by physician-assisted suicide. She reportedly visited a day earlier, “just to have [Tessa] scold her about things she saw in it [their] wedding. Kimberly left in tears. My mother had finally found a voice, it seemed.”

His sister witnessed a similar situation and commented, “I saw a lot of adoration from her for you, Gavin. But less of you for her.”

With Tessa worried, Gavin had “brought a kind of passivity into the relationship,” he acknowledged in the book, “I was only giving a small part of myself to Kimberly. Instead of regretting this, I kept wishing I could have given much more to my dying mother… The distance between Kimberly and I became a rift, and the rift grew into a rift that could not be repaired.”

“When it came time to separate after four years of marriage, we separated as little as possible,” he added, referring to his and Kimberly’s divorce.
