Mayor Gavin Newsom said all the reports about him having an affair with a chief aide's wife are "true," and he's now trying to make up for it.

Newsom said made a "personal apology" to his staff, friends and family members following the resignation of campaign manager Alex Tourk, 39, who had confronted Newsom about an affair the mayor had with Tourk's wife, Ruby Rippey-Tourk.

"I want to make it clear that everything you've read is true and I'm deeply sorry about that. I hurt someone I care deeply about, Alex Tourk and his family and friends, and that is something I'm deeply sad about and sorry for," he said in a brief on-camera statement. He took no questions from reporters on the scene.
