Married Toronto mayor, 68, resigns over affair with staffer, 31, but blames ‘mistake’ on pressure of COVID as he begs for forgiveness from his wife of 40-years
Toronto Mayor John Tory abruptly resigned late Friday after admitting to an extramarital affair with a 31-year-old former staffer.
The 68-year-old Canadian politician was caught in the messy affair with a woman less than half his age who worked as a mayoral advisor. The woman’s name has not been revealed, but their relationship reportedly ignited during the COVID-19 pandemic and was made public by The Toronto Star.
During a news conference, Tory admitted to the betrayal but did not identify his ex-lover, their courtship ended earlier this year. He said the employee has since left City Hall.
