New York Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman has been dating Salman Rushdie's ex Michelle Manning Barish since the month of June, it has been revealed.
Schneiderman, who is rumoured to run for governor, was even able to sneak away with her earlier this year on a 10-day vacation to Hawaii.
A friend of the couple claimed that they have been hiding in plain sight, the New York Post reported.
According to another source, sitcom producer Norman Lear introduced Manning as Schneiderman's bride-to-be before 150 people when he hosted a meet-and-greet for Schneiderman and potential supporters in Los Angeles.
The couple had met through mutual friends in progressive politics.
The source added that things got very intense very quickly with each other, which freaked the both of them.
