Their Romance Is Now Official

One of the worst-kept secrets in Washington -- the romance between Rep. Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin-- is finally out.

After months of ducking the question (despite persistent sightings of the two in N.Y. tabs), the New York Democrat finally spilled the beans last weekend during a visit to Puerto Rico with Hillary Clinton's camp. The main reason for the trip? "It's largely because I'm dating Huma," he told the Associated Press.

Abedin, 32, is Clinton's "body woman" -- a modern lady-in-waiting always at the candidate's side. She started working as an intern for Clinton (then first lady) in 1996; now she's one of her closest advisers. But it was Abedin's exotic looks (her mom's Pakistani, dad's Indian) and elegant designer wardrobe that caught the eye of Vogue, which convinced the press-shy aide to model in the magazine last year.

Model? Vogue? That sounds familiar . . . ah, yes! Weiner's the one who introduced what we call the "hot supermodel bill" -- HR 4354, legislation that would change the Immigration and Nationality Act to establish a separate classification for fashion models and make it easier for those gorgeous creatures to work in the U.S.A. -- in, say, Weiner's district. The bill is still languishing in committee.

The lifelong bachelor, 43, commutes between his district and Washington and is gearing up for next year's N.Y.C. mayoral race -- so dating Abedin means stealing a few hours here or there on the campaign trail. "It's not a great environment to forge a relationship," he said.
