Andrew Cuomo tells matchmaker he’s ‘eligible’

Moi?

Gov. Andrew Cuomo may be guiding New York through a pandemic, but he sure seems ready to get back on the dating scene after learning he is a hot commodity among New York women.

“I am eligible,” a coy Cuomo said on 1010Wins Thursday.

The 62-year-old dad-of-three was asked about a new survey by matchmaker Maureen Tara Nelson, which found that he and his CNN anchor little brother Chris Cuomo tied for most handsome man in New York.

“Now that you raise it, most wanted eligibility, my brother is married, I am not married, so I don’t think he would qualify as eligible, however I am eligible,” Cuomo responded, chuckling.

And he didn’t need to look very far for his next date.

When anchor Susan Richard pointed out that both she and the governor are Sagittariuses from Queens, he replied: “Sounds good to me. It all started in Queens, Susan.”

Cuomo and longtime girlfriend, chef and author Sandra Lee split last fall. Before that relationship, he was married to Kerry Kennedy for 15 years.

But his popularity with the ladies has skyrocketed since the pandemic began.

Women have called his daily briefings on the outbreak their “fix,” his appearances on Chris’ primetime show have also been a hit and social media and Tik Tok is flooded with people declaring their crushes on the brothers Cuomo. The hashtag #Cuomosexual even trended last month and has appeared on T-shirts.

So it wasn’t that much of a surprise when the siblings tied at the top of Nelson’s annual “Most handsome man in New York” survey, knocking actor Justin Theroux off his pedestal.

“Because of the saddesness of the pandemic, we’re watching his daily briefing, he’s making us feel safe — every woman wants that — and he shows us that he’s family-oriented,” with quips about Sunday night dinners with his three daughters, Nelson told The Post.

The governor checks all the boxes for what Nelson’s clients look for: Intelligence, being family-oriented, “a strong man,” assertiveness and “they all want someone handsome.”

Asked about the perfect match for Cuomo, the Long Island matchmaker said: “She has to have beauty and brains and be tolerant of the fact that he’s well known and is extremely busy.

“He needs someone that is at his level [and] he works so damn hard, he needs a woman that truly will love him for him.”

Nelson already has a blond in mind as a possible partner for the gov, but wouldn’t dish out any names.

“I have someone beautiful, poised, smart, sexy, very well known on Long Island. She is top notch and by my intuition, would make a great match.”

Going through a matchmaker would be a good way to avoid disappointing dates, she said, adding: “If he tries to date on his own, I can guarantee you he is going to get every golddigger in the world.”

Cuomo’s office didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
