The guy has his eye on bigger jobs, but altho a liberal Dem. has his demons:

In December 2001, Newsom married Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former San Francisco prosecutor and legal commentator for Court TV, CNN and MSNBC and who is now a prominent personality on Fox News Channel. The couple married at Saint Ignatius Catholic Church on the campus of the University of San Francisco, where Guilfoyle attended law school. The couple appeared in the September 2004 issue of Harper's Bazaar, a fashion magazine, in a spread of them at the Getty mansion with the title the "New Kennedys."
In January 2005 they jointly filed for divorce, citing "difficulties due to their careers on opposite coasts.

In January 2007, it was revealed that Newsom had had a romantic relationship in mid-2005 with Ruby Rippey-Tourk, the wife of his former deputy chief of staff and then campaign manager, Alex Tourk.
Tourk filed for divorce shortly after the revelation and left Newsom's campaign and administration.
Newsom's affair with Rippey-Tourk impacted his popularity with male voters, who viewed his indiscretions as a betrayal of a close friend and ally.

Newsom announced in February 2007 that he would seek treatment for alcohol abuse.
