Former Gov. David Paterson carried on a secret romantic relationship with an attractive female staffer, but recently broke it off, keeping the woman on his payroll, Page Six can exclusively reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paterson had been dating staffer Pamela Bane, who claims to be his chief of staff, quietly for more than 18 months before he dumped her last month at about the time he and his estranged wife, Michelle, formally filed for divorce after 20 years of marriage.<\/p>\n

A Paterson spokesman said Bane was hired \u201cas an \u00adassistant\u201d after she began dating Paterson. But her LinkedIn profile boasts she serves as \u201cchief of staff\u201d for \u201cthe Office of Gov. David A. Paterson\u201d and \u201cstrategic relationship manager\u201d at his consulting firm, DAP Strategies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter separating from his wife, Gov. Paterson and Pam Bane began a personal relationship that has recently ended,\u201d the rep confirmed Thursday. \u201cApproximately 1 \u00b9\/? years into the relationship, Pam was hired as an assistant at the governor\u2019s company, DAP Strategies. She has remained on the payroll.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bane couldn\u2019t be reached for comment. A friend of hers said of the relationship with her boss: <\/strong>\u00ad\u201cDavid broke up with Pam five weeks ago. They dated for two years. She\u2019s very upset he left her. He made promises to her. She\u2019s told friends that she\u2019s considering legal action.\u201d A Paterson rep said regarding any suit: \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about that; she\u2019s still on the payroll.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dumps then fires? That’s pretty ruthless!<\/strong><\/p>\n
