Paulson, GF escape to Italy

BILLIONAIRE John Paulson has whisked his much younger girlfriend to the romantic shores of Lake Como, Italy, just days after filing for divorce from his wife, Jenny, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

The hedge funder, 65, was spotted with new girlfriend Alina De Almeida, 33, jetting to the wedding of Blackstone exec Mark Moffat and British beauty Sarah Mintz at the romantic 16th century Villa d’Este on Sept. 25.

Page Six exclusively revealed that Paulson — estimated to be worth at least $4 billion — filed for divorce from his wife of 21 years on Sept. 20. The couple has no prenup, setting the stage for an epic court battle.

But five days later, onlookers at the wedding said, the infamous investor didn’t seem to have a care in the world. One said, “He and Alina were inseparable. They were at each other’s sides and canoodled all day and night.”

The source added, “They partied and ate and drank all weekend.”

Page Six also exclusively revealed Paulson, who famously made $20 billion betting against the housing market before the 2008 crash, was dating Instagram diet guru De Almeida after he filed for divorce from Jenny, 50, with whom he has two daughters.

Sources told us the pair met this summer via friends, and that she’s been living with him in his swanky Fifth Avenue apartment. One source said, “John does have a new, much younger girlfriend, and while it is still early days, the relationship is blossoming. They are very happy.”

De Almeida is a registered dietitian and expert in weight-loss counseling, and runs Effective Lifestyle, which also has an Instagram feed featuring her in skimpy workout gear and offering nutrition tips.

The Post went on to reveal that the week prior to filing for divorce, Paulson even took the step of having his new girlfriend attend a gala where he was being honored — while he was seated with his wife.
