Mike gal kept nups hush-hush

Charter-scandal hub

- By SUSAN EDELMAN

Mike Bloomberg’s daughter Emma has married for the second time, quietly tying the knot with Jeremiah Kittredge, the scandalsca­rred former CEO of a group that advocated for charter schools, The Post has learned.

Emma, 40, the billionair­e’s elder of two daughters, and Kittredge, 33, have kept their wedding a closely held secret for a year — never announcing the divorce from her first husband or the new nuptials.

The marriage was confirmed Saturday amid Bloomberg’s run for the 2020 Democratic Party presidenti­al nomination.

Rabbi Daniel Gropper of the Community Synagogue of Rye in Westcheste­r County officiated at the ceremony, which was held in New York City, a source said.

The couple could not be reached for comment. A spokesman for the Bloomberg campaign did not respond to questions.

Before that, the only hint of Emma’s remarriage came in a previously unnoticed January 2019 synagogue newsletter welcoming the couple as new members.

Kittredge led the oncepromin­ent Families for Excellent Schools, which spent nearly $10 million on TV ads and lobbying for charter schools in 2014.

But the group imploded in early 2018. First, it fired Kittredge over accusation­s of “inappropri­ate behavior” by a non-employee, charges stemming from a woman’s complaint that Kittredge commented on her “big boobs,” Politico reported.

A week later, the organizati­on abruptly closed, citing a lack of financial support. In January 2019, it agreed to pay $425,000 to settle allegation­s of campaign finance violations, according to reports.
