Some believe that Governor Cuomo pursued at least one illicit affair with a staffer while he was still dating Sandra. Outlets like Daily Mail claim it was an "open secret" among staffers.

In a joint statement issued in September 2019, Governor Cuomo and Sandra stated that they parted ways because their romantic relationship had turned into a "deep friendship."

"Over the recent past, we have realized that our lives have gone in different directions and our romantic relationship has turned into a deep friendship," they wrote, per CNN. "We will always be family and are fully supportive of each other and dedicated to the girls. Our personal lives remain personal, and there will be no further comment."
