It must make for interesting pillow talk.

The husband of a close supporter of Eric Adams is now working for Andrew Cuomo, who is running against the current New York City mayor in a competitive Democratic primary.

Edu Hermelyn, who is married to Brooklyn Democratic chairwoman Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, is serving as a “political advisor” for Cuomo’s campaign, according to a spokesperson for the campaign.

Cuomo’s campaign spokesman, Richard Azzopardi, stated, “Edu plays a significant role as a political advisor for the campaign, particularly in reaching out to elected officials. While it’s not unusual in politics for spouses to have different affiliations, it’s important to remember that one person’s actions do not always reflect on the other.”

Rodneyse Hermelyn has been one of Adams’ staunchest supporters but political insiders are already speculating that she may join her hubby as Hizzoner faces low polling numbers and is juggling his reelection bid with a legal battle over federal corruption charges.

Rodneyse Hermelyn, according to Politico, has told some Democrats she is considering backing the former New York governor.

She declined to comment about her spouse working for Cuomo and whether she was abandoning Adams.

Edu Hermelyn is a senior vice president with Mercury Public Affairs, the consulting firm whose partners are heavily involved in Cuomo’s campaign.

Former Brooklyn Democratic leader Frank Seddio — an ally of Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn whom she nominated to serve as commissioner on the city Board of Elections – recently said he was backing Cuomo over Adams in the June 24 Democratic primary. He backed Adams in 2021.
