Bigwig tired of sharing lady

-

A beautiful socialite is playing a game of musical billionair­es. Page Six has learned that married Alphabet Inc. chairman and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt dumped glamorous divorcée Ulla Parker because he got tired of her simultaneo­usly dating hedgie Alex Roepers. We first reported in 2017 that Schmidt — who is still married to wife of 39 years, Wendy Schmidt — got together with Parker, the exwife of Kevin Parker, of Sustainabl­e Insight Capital Management.

Sources tell us that things went swimmingly with the former Wilhelmina model for about a year, but sources close to Schmidt say that he began to lose interest as Parker began to spend more and more time with Roepers, the Dutch founder of Atlantic Investment Management, which manages some $2.3 billion.

We’re told Schmidt has no hard feelings about her other romance but simply had enough of the dual-dude situation.

One source told us that Schmidt has already moved on with another woman, but another cheerfully told us that he’s actually been seen about town with a number of different women.

Page Six reported in 2010 that Roepers and his glamorous, jet-setting wife, Shafi, had filed for divorce after 20 years of marriage.

In 2017, Alex spent $40 million on a “bachelor pad” on the 81st floor of 432 Park Ave., the tallest residentia­l building in the Western Hemisphere.

Meanwhile, there have been reports that Shafi had been trying to unload the Upper East Side co-op she had shared with Alex for $65 million. It’s unclear if she’s yet shifted the pricey pad.

Reached for comment, Parker declined to deny the various flings, a rep for Schmidt declined to comment, Alex didn’t respond to multiple e-mails and Shafi couldn’t be reached.

Schmidt and his wife are estranged but have decided not to divorce.
