Nathan Wade’s ex-wife claims she filed for divorce just a day after he was hired by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis — his alleged lover — to be the lead prosecutor in the Georgia election fraud case against former President Donald Trump, according to court documents filed Friday. .
Wade then immediately moved to have records related to the split sealed by the court handling the proceedings, Joycelyn Wade alleged in a 19-page filing with Cobb County Superior Court.
“Plaintiff [Nathan Wade] was appointed as special prosecutor by Ms. Willis on November 1, 2021. Plaintiff filed for divorce on November 2, 2021. Defendant [Joycelyn Wade] was served by the process server on November 3, 2021,” the document submitted by attorney Andrea Dyer Hastings stated.
“Prior to the Defendants filing their Answers and Counterclaims, the Plaintiffs filed a motion asking the court to strike the record in this divorce action,” the filing continued.

Nathan Wade and Willis have been accused by Trump co-defendant Michael Roman of having an “improper” and “clandestine” relationship that Roman disputes is grounds for dismissing the criminal charges against him.
Roman’s bombshell filing accuses Nathan Wade — a private attorney with Atlanta-based Wade & Campbell — of using some of the nearly $654,000 in legal fees he earned from the Fulton County DA’s Office for his work on the Trump case to take Willis on luxury trips.
Willis was also accused of hiring Wade to help prosecute the Trump case even though he was not qualified or experienced in handling criminal matters.

Joycelyn Wade claimed Friday that her now-ex-husband never told her he was working for Willis on the Trump case, or how much money he made from the appointment, and left her with “little means of financial support” while he was removed on his way to “California, Florida and the Caribbean” with Willis.
The filing includes bank records detailing Nathan Wade’s travel expenses, including spending more than $800 at the Doubletree Napa Valley American Canyon hotel in May of last year and $3,172.20 at Norwegian Cruise Line the previous November — as well as $370.88 at the Hyatt Regency Aruba around the same time.
Joycelyn’s filing comes a day after attorneys for Willis filed a motion to remove the Atlanta DA from sitting for a Jan. 23 deposition in Wade’s divorce case.

Willis’ legal team argued that the subpoena should be dismissed, as he would not be able to provide relevant evidence, and claimed that the Wades’ marriage had already ended by 2017 — before Willis met Nathan — when Joycelyn allegedly cheated on him.
Hastings responded that Willis’ claims of Joycelyn’s affair were completely “false”, arguing that his client “suffered a deep sense of disconnection in her marriage” after the infidelity by Nathan Wade.
Joycelyn Wade “unfortunately reconnected with old friends through social media and text messages were their only level of contact,” wrote Hastings, who argued that her client never met the ex-flame in person and that the couple “worked through this, as proved by the fact that not until four (4) years later [Nathan] filed for divorce.”

The DA’s allegation, Hastings added, “[raise] the question of whether Ms. Wills had the same intimate knowledge of any marital discord involving any of her other special prosecutors.”
“His public inquiry as to ‘why that person’ seems to be met with a response that suggests, ‘because you, Ms Wills, had an affair with him and not them.’
Meanwhile, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners announced Friday that it is investigating whether Willis misused county funds and “accepted valuable gifts and personal benefits” from Nathan Wade, giving the Atlanta DA until Feb. 2 to respond.
