Pastor Jackson Lahmeyer, a Donald Trump-backed Oklahoma congressional candidate, is embroiled in a scandal over his ties with ex-Miss Oklahoma Caitlin Simmons Key.
The Daily Mail reported that a former campaign staffer revealed Lahmeyer's relationship with Simmons Key was physical, despite his claims it was confined to flirty text messages.
Lahmeyer, 34, reportedly texted Simmons Key saying "I enjoyed those lips" after sharing several kisses while working on his campaign this spring.
The megachurch pastor slammed the report in a Facebook statement, admitting he crossed a boundary line through text messaging and ended all communication with Simmons Key.
Lahmeyer's wife, Kendra, has been thrust into the spotlight amid the scandal, with many wondering how she will respond to the allegations.
Kendra Lahmeyer is a Special Education Teacher and has been the Lead Pastor of Sheridan Church alongside her husband since 2017.
The couple has five children together and Kendra has a bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and Teaching from Oklahoma Christian University.
