We wish her luck?
Sources have revealed to Page Six the, er, ins-and-outs of Bill de Blasioâs mind-bendingly wild love life which has lately included soup kitchens, impulsive nooners with a woman heâd just met, and a ugly break up at Zohran Mamdaniâs election night victory party.
And amid it all, the former mayor tells us⊠heâs in love!
It recently came to light that the lefty pol began an affair with South Tucson mayor Roxanna Valenzuela while he was still seeing now ex, political strategist Nomiki Konst, who heâd been dating for nearly a year.
But now a source tells us that de Blasio and Valenzuela first met for a business lunch in September â more than a month before he split from Konst â and the pair went back to his apartment to have sex.
Just two days later Valenzuela took him to volunteer at a soup kitchen and once again, tins of split pea soup werenât the only cans Hizzoner got his hands on, says a source.
Meanwhile, the former mayor was still seeing progressive activist and former âYoung Turksâ correspondent Konst.
A source tells us de Blasio â who ran the city from 2014 to 2021 â came clean to her about the steamy dalliance while they were on a vacation in Greece just days after the saucy soup kitchen tryst when she was in the midst of a round of IVF for egg freezing. (She and de Blasio werenât planning to have kids, weâre told).
A source close to Konst tells us the pair attempted to get their relationship back on track.
But on November 4, weâre told that Konst âlearned he was still talking to Roxanna and [Roxanna] was coming to NYC [to see him] while they were walking into Zohran Mamdaniâs election night victory party.â
Weâre told press cameras were snapping away as Konst processed the devastating news.
Now de Blasio tells Page Six that he âfell in loveâ with Valenzuela.
âI wish Nomiki well and Iâm sorry for how our relationship ended,â he told us. âI fell in love with someone else and I should have told her sooner. Iâm now in a wonderful relationship with Roxanna Valenzuela that we will continue to nurture and keep private.â
When asked if he wanted to comment on the more sordid details of their initial meeting, de Blasio told us, âThatâs all I have to say.â
There was no response to request for comment from Valenzuela or Konst.
De Blasio, 64, and Valenzuela, 41, were snapped posing together over the weekend in Arizona at a swearing-in ceremony for newly elected Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva.
But we hear Konst, 41, has also moved on.
A spy tells us they spotted the political commentator at the Hellenic Initiative Gala at Cipriani Wall Street this weekend, posing for pics with a hunky Staten Island firefighter named Keith Tavella.
âIt seems like an upgrade,â said a source of the new man, who they noted seemed much younger than de Blasio.
De Blasio has two children with Chirlane McCray, who formerly identified as a lesbian. The pair separated in 2023 and do not intend to divorce.
De Blasioâs messy love life has made headlines since he and McCray split.Â
He was spotted making out at Empire Rooftop Bar with a mystery woman for three hours in September 2023, and was seen a few months later taking a married woman, Kristy Stark, on a romantic stroll through Manhattan.Â
âI donât know anything about my wife holding hands with Bill de Blasio,â that married womanâs befuddled husband, Owen Stark, told The Post at the time.
Stark later said she and her husband were âin the process of getting a divorce,â which also came as a surprise to her husband.
