His political career may be over — but his heart will go on.
Former Mayor Bill de Blasio revealed Thursday that he is in a new romantic relationship — with a raven-haired progressive pundit decades his junior, who shares his lefty views and his desire to “cuddle.”
The 63-year-old Democrat is romantically involved with liberal activist Nomiki Konst, 41, and plans to spend Valentine’s Day snuggling with her and sipping wine.
“Nomi and I have started a really lovely relationship, just in time for Valentine’s Day. We’ve known each other for a long time and are very kindred souls,” he texted The Post — adding a red heart emoji.
“We’re going to cuddle up and watch romantic movies and drink Greek wine, in honor of Nomi’s heritage,” he said of their plans for the lover’s holiday.
While it’s unclear when the pair started their relationship de Blasio gushed that there were no apps involved and that they’d sealed the deal over lunch.
“She is dynamic, warm, intelligent and beautiful. We truly share values and have an immense amount in common,” he said.
“We caught up over lunch one day and before it was over I told her I wanted to ask her out and she said very sweetly: ‘And I will say yes.’”
Konst, who is known for her work on the progressive news commentary show “The Young Turks,” told The Post that she and de Blasio are “simpatico.”
“Our cultures, our values, our vibes…It’s going to be a special Valentine’s Day, as this is a special connection,” she said.
“We’re going to watch ‘Captain Corelli’s Mandolin’ — a story about a Greek and Italian falling in love… so perfect for us.”
Konst is known for her work on the progressive news commentary show “The Young Turks.”
She once interviewed the former Mayor and his now estranged wife, New York’s former First Lady Chirlane McCray for the program’s YouTube channel.
She was also a national co-chair on Barack Obama’s presidential re-election campaign in 2012.
She also announced an intention to run for Arizona’s 2nd congressional district that year, but withdrew before the primaries.
In 2016, Konst was a national surrogate for Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign and also served on the Democratic National Convention’s platform committee.
De Blasio separated from his wife, Chirlane McCray, in 2023 but said they had no intention of divorcing. Both were seen together at an A-list event in March, despite the former Mayor’s active dating life.
At the time, he had been seen making out with one woman, and allegedly taking out another who was still married — but he appears to have dropped both for Konst.
Konst didn’t immediately return a request for comment Thursday.
