Nancy Kissinger, the wife of late former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, reportedly died Thursday at her home in South Kent, Conn. She was 92.

Kissinger’s death, citing an announcement by her family, was first reported by the New York Times.

“Nancy Kissinger was a powerhouse of ideas and insights that she put to work throughout her life in government and philanthropy – and as Henry’s most valued and trusted advisor,” former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg wrote on X.

“She was the ultimate diplomat – as wise as she was discreet – and I know how completely Henry admired and loved her,” Bloomberg added. “Diana and I were fortunate to call her a dear friend, and to see their extraordinary partnership in action over the decades.”

“We will miss her greatly.”

Though never officially a US diplomat, Kissinger frequently accompanied her husband on diplomatic missions to Russia, the Middle East and other parts of the world, and appeared alongside him in photo ops with powerful world leaders.

The couple, who had no children, were also fixtures at state dinners, embassy events and White House receptions during Republican administrations.

Kissinger was a fierce defender of her husband.

In one famous 1982 incident at Newark Liberty International Airport, Kissinger allegedly grabbed a heckler accosting her husband by the throat and warned, “Do you want to get slugged.”

A judge later acquitted Kissinger of a misdemeanor assault charge, ruling her action “was a spontaneous, somewhat human reaction to an offensive statement, as well as concern for her husband’s condition.”

The couple had been traveling to Boston, where her husband was scheduled to have heart surgery, when the incident occurred.

Standing nearly 6 feet tall, Kissinger towered over her husband and many world leaders.

The Kissingers married in 1974, when Henry was secretary of state and Nancy was a foreign policy adviser to former New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, who introduced the couple.
