Hooker-loving ex-governor Eliot Spitzer and his long-suffering wife Silda Wall have finally called it quits, filing Tuesday to end their 26-year marriage, a source told The Post.
In Manhattan Supreme Court papers filed as “Anonymous vs. Anonymous,” the couple listed the breakup as “contested” signaling that there could be a courtroom battle brewing.
The filing comes just weeks after The Post’s bombshell report that showed Spitzer was shacking up with years-younger political mouthpiece Lis Smith, an aide in his failed 2013 run for city comptroller.
A day after The Post ran its exclusive photos of the canoodling couple, Spitzer, 54, and his savvy, lawyer wife, 56, issued a joint statement saying their marriage was kaput.
Spitzer spent Christmas Day with Smith, 31 — who at the time was working for Bill De Blasio’s transition team — at her parents’ Bronxville home.
Then, over the New Year’s holiday, Spitzer and Smith turned a Jamaica resort hot tub into a steamy love cauldron, with the shamed pol sucking the toes of his topless mistress in full view of children.
“She would sit in his lap. Then he’d put her feet in his mouth. He licked her toes and was playing with her feet,” one aghast witness told The Post.
The sexually-charged showing evoked memories of 2008, when Spitzer was forced to resign after being outed as “Client No. 9” in the Emperor’s Club VIP high-end hooker scandal. Investigators believe he spent as much as $80,000 for prostitutes.
Spitzer and Wall met at Harvard Law School and married in 1987. Their three daughters are now 18, 20 and 23, meaning they won’t have to duke it out over custody.
A Spitzer spokeswoman declined comment and reps for Silda did not return calls.
The plaintiff’s lawyer is listed as John Teitler, who repped bad boy Broadway scion Eric Nederlander in his split from Lindsey Kupferman. The defendant has hired Norman Heller, who repped movie mogul Bob Weinstein and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in their divorces.
