Former New York City mayor Bill de Blasio is reportedly in a new relationship with Roxanna Valenzuela, the mayor of South Tucson, Arizona, according to multiple sources. Valenzuela, who is a mother of two and currently in a relationship with William Peard, has been seen in several social media posts with de Blasio over the past six months. The revelation comes shortly after de Blasio ended his 10-month relationship with activist Nomiki Konst, who is said to have learned of his new romance through mutual acquaintances. Friends and sources close to Valenzuela have expressed concerns about the impact of the relationship on her family, while noting that both she and de Blasio have not been discreet about their connection online.

Valenzuela, who survived a recall election in August, is relatively new to politics and has been described by those close to her as seeking fame. De Blasio, who separated from his wife Chirlane McCray in 2023, has not commented publicly on the new relationship. The situation has reportedly caused turmoil among those involved, with sources suggesting that Valenzuela's actions could have significant personal consequences.
