Rachel Uchitel dating MLB star Bret Boone

Tiger Woods’ former mistress Rachel Uchitel will appear on Bravo’s “Millionaire Matchmaker” next week — but we hear she’s already found her latest match off-screen.

Uchitel — the one-time VIP hostess who now owns children’s clothing store Wyatt Lily on the Upper West Side — taped the Bravo series, in which millionaire men and women hire matchmaker Patti Stanger to help them find long-term mates, last summer. But since then, sources said, she’s started dating one-time MLB star Bret Boone, 44, the brother of former Yankee Aaron Boone and son of former player Bob Boone, who also managed the Kansas City Royals and Cincinnati Reds.

(If that’s not enough baseball pedigree, Bret’s grandfather Ray Boone played third base for several major league teams, and the family is the first to send three generations of ballplayers to the All-Star Game.)

Sources told Page Six that Bret is separated from his wife, Suzi, with whom he has four children.

Uchitel, 38, finalized her divorce from insurance underwriter Matt Hahn this year. She wouldn’t comment on Boone except to say she is “in a serious relationship.” She and Hahn have a daughter, Wyatt.

“I was single, and it was hard to find time to go on a date,” she told Page Six of going on “Millionaire Matchmaker.” “I was working on construction on my store [named after her daughter] and never had time to meet anyone.”

Uchitel said she told “Millionaire Matchmaker” host Stanger that she’s looking for a man who is “mature, wanted kids, and had to love dogs.” She added, “I just asked that they were an honest, manly man. I wanted somebody who was an A-type personality I could feel like a partner with.” We’ll assume being a millionaire was the other prerequisite.

Stanger tells Uchitel on the show, airing Thursday, that her problem with dating has been that she’s “a shredder” who goes through men and “always picks the wrong guys.” She tells Stanger, “I want to be someone’s wife.” It remains to be seen whether Boone is the one.
