He’s the new Luv Guv.
Women are crushing on Gov. Andrew Cuomo — calling his coronavirus press briefings their daily “fix” — during this state of emergency.
Denise Albert, a 45-year-old divorcée on the Upper West Side, is officially smitten.
“For me, it was when I heard him say, ‘My mother is light and joy,’” said Albert, co-founder of multimedia company The Moms.
“What also got me was his speaking about family dynamics — disagreeing with his brother about where his mom should be . . . It’s relatable, vulnerable, inspirational. There’s nothing hotter than vulnerability in a man.”
Talia Reese, a married mom of two in Great Neck, Long Island, thinks Cuomo sounds like Al Pacino. The comic said she and her friends text one another when he’s on TV, with one declaring, “Cuomo press conference right now. Morning fix.”
“It’s like all these women are back in high school. We’re all in our pajamas, eating ice cream in bed, and he’s in a sharp suit, looking clean,” the 40-something Reese said of the third-term Democrat’s televised briefings.
And the single ladies note that Cuomo, 62, split from his girlfriend of 14 years, author and TV chef Sandra Lee, in September.
“Is Governor Cuomo single? Not asking for a friend,” Albert wrote on Facebook.
Ilene Beckerman, a Manhattan divorcée and author, also finds the governor irresistible.
“How could I not fall in love with him? He doesn’t use notes or screens, he’s smart, his voice is strong,” said Beckerman, whose 1995 book, “Love, Loss and What I Wore,” inspired the popular off-Broadway play of the same name.
“I’m almost 85 and finally think I know about men. He’s a keeper.”
Even the radio voice of the Yankees, WFAN sportscaster Suzyn Waldman, is crazy about the divorced father of three girls.
“He’s decisive, calming, gets things done — and he’s drop-dead gorgeous,” the 73-year-old divorcée said. “Everybody always looks for someone who will say, ‘It’s going to be OK.’ ”
Melissa Chapman, a blogger on Staten Island, agrees.
“I love how he is trying to calm us all down,” the mother of two said. “I’m totally crushing on him, especially when he starts to wax about not being able to kiss his [quarantined] daughter’s face.”
“My husband is like, ‘I have a crush on him, too.’ ”
