Port Washington native Anthony Scaramucci appeared Tuesday on “Dr. Phil” alongside his wife, Deidre Ball-Scaramucci, to talk about how his 11-day stint as White House communications director last summer nearly ruined their marriage.

Ball-Scaramucci, who was pregnant when she filed for divorce in Nassau County Supreme Court in July 2017, told host Phil McGraw that Scaramucci “never really discussed it [with her] before” taking a job at the White House.

“He’s really motivated, which I admire, obviously, and I love about him,” Ball said. “But, you know, in some situations you would want to have that conversation, especially this type of conversation.”

The couple eventually reconciled in late November.
