Megyn Kelly claims she’d rather her husband have one-night stand than ‘sit and cry’ with another woman
MIAMI, FLORIDA: 'The Megyn Kelly Show' podcast episode from October 6 has Megyn Kelly talking with evolutionary behavior scientist and host of 'The Saad Truth', Gad Saad, about a variety of subjects. In response to one of these subjects, Kelly said she would much rather have her husband, Douglas Brunt, have a one-night stand with another woman than see him form an emotional relationship and "sit and cry" with her.
The subject was raised when the two started talking about the rumors that Tom Brady and his supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen, were having a divorce shortly. Kelly learned about the divorce from various news outlets, where it was reported that the couple hired lawyers after having an "epic fight" over Bündchen's apparent displeasure with Brady's decision to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another season.

Professor and marketing expert Saad, Kelly's guest, commented that while he was "entering speculation land," Brady's return to football "seems to be an unlikely reason they would have broken up." Saad claimed that women "get more triggered and more angry and more jealous by emotional infidelity rather than sexual infidelity," from the perspective of "evolutionary psychology."
Saad continued, "It doesn't mean that they're happy if their man sleeps around with other women. But if he develops an emotional, platonic bond with another woman... that might actually be a greater precursor of them splitting because emotional infidelity is the greatest threat to a woman's interest."
Kelly added, "I can see that. I'm thinking about my own husband — I'd much rather he have a one-night stand with a woman than sit and cry with her." Douglas Brunt, a former cybersecurity CEO, and the three-time author has been married to Kelly since 2008. They have three children together.
Kelly referred to the famous Brady and Bündchen as "two of the most beautiful people on Earth," adding, "It's no accident they found each other." Additionally, she mentioned that they had "two of the biggest careers on Earth," and that "some would say it’s no accident that it's going to end because two careers that big and two personalities that big — it's tough to stay together long-term."
Saad claims that "financial conflict" and "infidelity" are the two main causes of divorce in relationships. He said, "Infidelity is much more of a death blow [to the relationship] if a woman cheats on a man than vice versa — not because of the patriarchy but because when a woman cheats on a guy, it triggers paternity uncertainty from an evolutionary perspective. Whereas when a man cheats on a woman, it's not quite the same thing."
Kelly and Saad spoke about various other ongoing subjects like Justin Trudeau's 2SLGBTQI+ action plan, the NYU professor fired after kids complained he was too hard, Olivia Wilde's attack on Jordan Peterson, Saudi Arabia cutting oil production despite Biden's efforts, the "might is right" philosophy in the Middle East, the left melting down over Elon Musk buying Twitter, what "evolutionary consumption" really is, and more.
