Disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner has whisked his five-months pregnant wife, Huma Abedin, out of New York for a romantic vacation in Italy.
Weiner and Abedin are spending a holiday — or “babymoon” — in Positano at the historic Le Sirenuse resort overlooking the breathtaking Amalfi Coast.
The family-owned retreat, with a spectacular view of the bay, is perfect for a shamed politician seeking a private hideaway with his forgiving wife. According to the resort’s Web site, Le Sirenuse is “furnished with all the comforts of a luxury hotel, while maintaining the atmosphere of a private home.”
The 59 rooms at the tony oceanfront hideaway range from 500 euros ($719) a night for an inner courtyard room to 3,400 euros ($4,889) for a two-bedroom suite with a double whirlpool bathtub overlooking the sea.
Our sources spotted the couple, expecting their first child this winter, enjoying a festive dinner with friends at the hotel’s restaurant, La Sponda.
“They started at the Champagne and oyster bar, where they met another couple. From there, two other couples joined them, and they went downstairs to the main room for dinner,” a source told us.
Weiner and Abedin have rarely been seen in public together in the aftermath of the sexting scandal that forced him to give up his congressional seat in June. The Queens pol admitted to sending lewd photos and text messages online, and resigned just as news broke that Abedin — who is a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — is pregnant.
Sources say that Abedin is due on New Year’s Eve. The couple was spotted discussing boys’ names during a recent walk near their Forest Hills home, which they’re selling.
Weiner, 46, wed Abedin, 35, last July in a ceremony conducted by former President Bill Clinton at Oheka Castle in Huntington, LI. A rep for Weiner declined to comment.
