Deidre Scaramucci's lawyer disputed claims the White House communications director's political ambitions played a role in their ongoing divorce.
Lawyer Jill Stone, speaking on behalf of her client who filed for divorce while she was eight months pregnant, told the New York Daily News: 'Whoever decided to state that that was the cause, that has nothing to do with her filing for divorce.'
Another source said Deidre was furious with her husband and kept the rumor mill churning by telling Page Six: 'There’s been…a lot of lies.'
Stone refused to divulge any more, saying Deidre was focusing on her children instead of turning the divorce into 'a circus'.
Deidre went into labor two weeks early and gave birth to son James on Monday while Anthony Scaramucci was in West Virginia accompanying President Donald Trump at the Boy Scouts Jamboree, Page Six reported.
Scaramucci reportedly texted her, 'Congratulations, I'll pray for our child,' and it wasn't until his first work week was over that he visited his son in the intensive care unit on Friday night, an associate told Page Six.
The couple has reportedly exchanged bitter words, with Deidre branding her husband a 'grifter'. Scaramucci, on the other hand, took shots at his wife's intelligence and said he's out of her league, sources said.
On Saturday, Scaramucci, 53, pulled into the garage of his Manhasset home while Deidre, dressed in a black tank top and skinny jeans, peered out from the doorway upon his arrival.

The couple's relationship appears to have deteriorated after three years, with Deidre reportedly branding her husband a 'Trump sycophant' and a 'grifter' while he took shots at her intelligence and said he was out of her league, sources said
Deidre filed for divorce in the Nassau County Supreme Court on July 6 while she was eight months pregnant.
On Monday, she gave birth to her second son with Scaramucci. James, who was due on August 8, was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at 5 pounds, 13 ounces.
The 53-year-old was with his new boss on Monday while his wife was in labor, and Scaramucci waited until Friday to visit the newborn, an associate told Page Six.
Sources told Page Six it was Scaramucci's ambitions for a position in the Trump administration that cost him his marriage - although Stone shot down those reports and called it a 'private matter' instead.
Regardless, the couple's relationship appears to have deteriorated after three years, with Deidre reportedly branding her husband a 'Trump sycophant' and a 'grifter', according to one person close to Scaramucci.
Scaramucci had harsh words for his wife as well, with one source telling Page Six: 'The [pain] runs deep. [Anthony] tells her she's not that smart, that he's out of her league.'

TIMELINE OF SCARAMUCCI'S MARITAL BREAKDOWN
After the bombshell dropped on Friday that Anthony Scaramucci's wife Deidre Scaramucci had filed for divorce, new reports reveal she was eight months pregnant at the time.
Further shocking news came when Page Six reported the 38-year-old gave birth two weeks early on Monday and Scaramucci waited the entire work week before seeing his newborn son.
Below is a timeline of events:
2011: Soon after Scaramucci's divorce from his first wife Lisa, Scaramucci and Deidre began dating after meeting at his hedge fund, SkyBridge Capital.
July 11, 2014: The Wall Street financier married Deidre in 2014, after the birth of their first child together, Nicholas, in early 2014.
January 2017: Scaramucci stepped down from his position at SkyBridge Capital after being named as a candidate for Trump's assistant and Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison and Intergovernmental Affairs.

Monday, July 24: Deidre went into labor two weeks before her due date and gave birth to a baby boy who she named James at a Lenox Hill hospital on the Upper East Side.
The newborn was born two weeks before his due date of August 8. He weighed five pounds and 13 ounces.
While Deidre was delivering her new child, Scaramucci was in West Virginia with Trump for the Boy Scouts Jamboree.
He reportedly sent a text to Deidre that said: 'Congratulations, I'll pray for our child.'
Wednesday, July 26: Late on Wednesday night, Scaramucci had his now infamous phone call with journalist Ryan Lizza.
In the expletive-filled rant, the Italian New Yorker called the former White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus a 'f****** paranoid schizophrenic'.
He also slammed the chief strategist, saying: 'I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to suck my own c***'
Thursday, July 27: The next day, the New Yorker published Scaramucci's foul-mouthed rant, creating a news storm around the new official.
The same day, Deidre had her newborn son admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at North Shore Hospital in Manhasset, New York.
Friday, July 28: Instead of flying straight to the hospital to be with his child, Scaramucci flew to New York with Trump on Air Force One for a speech.
He was spotted boarding the aircraft not wearing his wedding ring.
Scaramucci tweeted that afternoon: 'Leave civilians out of this. I can take the hits, but I would ask that you would put my family in your thoughts and prayers & nothing more.'
As of Friday night, it was reported that Scaramucci still hadn't seen his son.
However another source said late that night, he finally saw James for the first time at the hospital.
Saturday, July 29: Deidre was seen out and about in Long Island just days after giving birth and wasn't wearing her wedding ring.
Scaramucci tweeted on Saturday morning: 'Family does not need to be drawn into this. Soon we will learn who in the media has class and who doesn't. No further comments on this.'
The White House communications director was seen pulling into his Manhasset home on Saturday as Deidre peered out of the doorway upon his arrival.

She supported Hillary Clinton in the recent election, although the two are said to maintain a cordial relationship.
Deidre, who graduated with an MA in communications from the University of Buffalo, started off as an assistant at Scaramucci's hedge fund SkyBridge Capital in 2007.
She was married to Anthony Portelli when both she and Scaramucci divorced their respective spouses in 2011.
The two started dating shortly after, and Deidre gave birth to son Nicholas in 2014 before the two married in July of that year.
In addition to Nicholas and James, Scaramucci is the father of Alexander, 24, who goes by AJ, Amelia, 21, and Anthony Jr., 18.

Deidre appeared to be supportive of her husband's political ambitions as she appeared with him at events and even posed alongside him as he flaunted his 'Make America Great Again' cap.
And when Scaramucci sold his hedge fund to gear up for a position in the administration, Deidre left her job as a vice president in investor relations.
Scaramucci anticipated a job in the public liaisons office in January, but was passed over before he reportedly clawed his way back into the president's good graces.
His hell-bent ascent into the White House caused a strain in his marriage, according to sources who spoke to Page Six.
'Deidre is not a fan of Trump, and she hasn't exactly been on board and supportive of Anthony and his push to get back into the White House,' a source said.
Deidre has previously donated money to both Republican and Democratic politicians, including Rep. Kathleen Rice's (D-N.Y.) campaign, and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's presidential bid,The Hill reported.
But other sources suggested a rift started growing long before Trump appeared in the picture.
One source said the things changed when Deidre became a mother, and the couple grew apart while Scaramucci continued living his flashy Wall Street life, Page Six reported.
'I don't know who Deidre thought she was marrying but anyone who knows Anthony knows he's an ambitious man,' another source said.

She and Scaramucci live in the Long Island town of Manhasset, which is also home to Bill O'Reilly and Jose Reyes.
Deidre has managed to keep a low profile during her husband's brief and bombastic tenure as communications director.
Two days after his son's birth, Scaramucci, who is said to reflect the president's brash New York attitude, delivered a foul-mouthed tirade directed at his fellow White House staffers.
In a shocking phone conversation with the New Yorker's Ryan Lizza, Scaramucci blasted the former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus as 'f****** paranoid schizophrenic'.
He also slammed the chief strategist, saying: 'I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to suck my own c***.'
While Scaramucci chalked up his comments in the interview as 'colorful language', he cancelled his appearances on a number of panels at Politicon this weekend
And it appears Scaramucci got the last laugh after President Trump announced Priebus' ouster on Friday.

Scaramucci got his start in the world of finance at Goldman Sachs, working at the firm for 17 years after graduating from Harvard Law School in 1989.
He was apparently hired, fired and then rehired by Goldman in the span of just one year.
He eventually left in 1996 to start his own firm Oscar Capital Management before it was sold to Neuberger Berman in 2001.
It was in 2005 that he created Sky Capital, which became his biggest success.
Scaramucci has also hosted the Fox Business Network's Wall Street Week in 2015 after he pitched the idea of a revival to Roger Ailes.
