’Hole heart: Tiff’s new beau

-

TIFFANY Trump is quietly dating a wealthy scion from Nigeria, one of the nations President Trump supposedly slammed as a “s - - thole country.” Sources exclusivel­y tell Page Six that Tiffany is seeing handsome Michael Boulos, who grew up in Lagos, where his well-connected family owns a multibilli­on-dollar conglomera­te that trades in vehicles, equipment, retail and constructi­on.

A source said Tiffany met London-based Boulos, whose family is of Lebanese origin, on vacation in Mykonos, Greece, this summer. Things have been going so well that law student Trump — who split from Ross Mechanic in the spring — even brought Boulos to the Trumps’ Mar-a-Lago for Thanksgivi­ng.

A source told us, “Tiffany is happy she has so far been able to keep things with Michael under the radar. But she introduced him to her family at Thanksgivi­ng, and he comes across as a very intelligen­t young man from a great family. There was no mention of the president’s unfortunat­e comment about African nations.”

Boulos attended an elite internatio­nal school in Nigeria, and his brother Fares is an actor and rapper who performs as Farastafar­i. Their family founded Boulos Enterprise­s and the publicly traded conglomera­te SCOA Nigeria.

Trump reportedly called El Salvador, Haiti and unspecifie­d nations in Africa “s - - thole countries,” saying during a January meeting on immigratio­n, “Why are we having all these people from s - - thole countries come here?”

Nigeria was outraged and responded by saying the comment was “deeply hurtful, offensive and unacceptab­le” if true, and demanded clarificat­ion from US officials.

Trump later denied using the derogatory phrase, but he admitted the language he had used at the Oval Office meeting was tough. He then described Nigeria as “beautiful” when meeting with its president, Muhammadu Buhari, in April, adding that he’d like to visit.

The Trump family and Michael Boulos didn’t respond to requests for comment.
