Where in the world did you get all that? It doesn't say that in the Bible, the commentary, or the Midrash.

Goodness, where IS it then? Surely it is in some part of Talmud or QBLH, we studied it back in grade school.

I will google for Moses Ethiopian Wife as soon as I get a chance, but it is well established...

Yeah, there is a lot of it on Google, many from Jewish websites. Some of them have it clearly, some try to refute it.

I had not known that she was described as "Kushi" [Negro]; until right now! I had been taken in by the English translations, which say Ethiopian-- but that would be "Khabashi." Also, some of those sites try to say that she was still with Moses during the Exodus, making Tsiporah a second wife in point of time.

Yet clearly Moses DID put away [divorce] the Kushi woman at some point in his life.

In any event, the sites are so numerous, at least it does show I did not simply inVENT the story. It has lots of sources.
