Uber founder has a Secret

-

BILLIONAIR­E Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick has been quietly dating Victoria’s Secret model Daniela Lopez Osorio.

Sources said ousted Uber CEO Kalanick, 44, and Colombian beauty Lopez, 27, began seeing each other after meeting in California at the beginning of this year.

She’s the model who in 2015 gave the timeless quote to The Post, “I don’t eat for me; I eat for my butt,” before slapping her posterior.

A source said, “Travis has been dating Daniela since mid-January but they have been trying to keep it very quiet.”

A rep for Kalanick declined to comment to Page Six, as did Lopez’s spokespers­on.

Lopez has appeared in the famed Sports Illustrate­d Swimsuit Issue and last year starred in a music video for Maluma and The Weeknd’s track “Hawái.”

She is the first woman Kalanick, who Forbes reports is worth $2.8 billion, has been linked to in years, his most recent ex being the popular violinist Gabi Holzwarth.

Holzwarth’s three-year relationsh­ip with Kalanick ended in August 2016, and the following year she criticized the alleged sexist atmosphere at Uber, telling the Huffington Post, “You go to an event and there’s just a bunch of models they’ve flown in . . . That’s what they like to play with. That’s pretty much it.”

Kalanick resigned as CEO of Uber in 2017, after controvers­y over the company’s reported unethical culture, including allegation­s that he ignored reports of sexual harassment at the company. In 2018, he launched a venture capital fund, 10100.

He has been in the headlines more recently for allegedly allowing maskless parties at his homes in New York and Los Angeles amid the pandemic.

There was a crowded, maskless bash filled with “rich people” flouting pandemic rules that was thrown at Kalanick’s lavish Soho penthouse at the end of the summer, according to reports.
