Are Eliot Spitzer and his ex-girlfriend Lis Smith reigniting their romance?
The pair were spotted on Thursday at Serafina Always on the Upper East Side.
One witness tells us that Spitzer was “trying his luck and was being handsy with Lis, but she didn’t seem to be interested or reciprocating. It actually looked like it wasn’t a date and she was there for a business meeting because she had a folder out and a laptop and seemed to be asking his advice.”
Smith is the co-founder of PR company 50 State Communications.
But another spy tells us, “She appeared to be really into him.”
Smith split with Spitzer in 2015 after two years together, around the time he was allegedly being extorted by a supposed $5,000-a-night Russian hooker, Svetlana Zakharova Travis, who later accused him of a Plaza Hotel assault.
Travis was later arrested and still faces trial for allegedly extorting $400,000 from Spitzer and also pulling a scam on toy-store owner Paul Nippes.
She is currently in jail and will be back in court Sept. 13 for pretrial hearings.
When it comes to Smith and Spitzer rekindling, Smith didn’t return calls for comment, but a friend told us that, “Lis and Eliot are not getting back together.”
A rep for Spitzer didn’t comment.
