Maria Bartiromo-fixated, married Wall Street honcho Todd S. Thomson may have fathered a secret love child with classical violinist Eugenia Choi.
Thomson famously flew Bartiromo on the Citigroup private jet to a 2007 event in Asia, sparking rumors of an affair, but he denied any impropriety at the time. Now, divorce papers filed by his wife of 25 years, Melissa, demand that Choi, 36, hand over all court filings and correspondence about the paternity of her daughter.
The divorce suit filed in Stamford, Conn., includes a deposition order for beautiful, Juilliard-educated Choi, demanding that she “produce all correspondence between your counsel and the counsel for Todd S. Thomson and all court filings pertaining to the paternity, support or other legal issues with respect to your daughter.”
Page Six exclusively revealed earlier this week, after obtaining court documents, that Melissa is divorcing Todd, now CEO of Headwaters Capital, after he allegedly admitted to her “a base, immoral and disreputable act he had committed, and the sight of the Defendant [Todd] now disgusts and traumatizes the Plaintiff [Melissa].”
The Connecticut court has granted Melissa permission to depose Choi and Bartiromo, 46. Melissa’s lawyers had stated, “Certain facts which are in issue, or which directly assist in proving the Plaintiff’s case, are within the knowledge or power of [Bartiromo].”
Sources close to the glamorous CNBC anchor insist she has not yet been served with papers and has no knowledge of the Thomsons’ dirty divorce.
Meanwhile, another source said Melissa served Todd with divorce papers in a carefully planned manner to cause him maximum embarrassment. We’re told, “Todd was served with papers as he waited at the train station in Connecticut, with all his Wall Street peers, to make the commute into the city. He was furious.”
Lawyers for both Todd and Melissa did not return numerous calls for comment. Choi also did not respond to calls and e-mails.
