Ashley Dupre, Once Linked To Spitzer Expecting Baby

The former call girl famous for her tryst with ex-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer is engaged to a New Jersey businessman and expecting a baby.

Ashley Dupre told the New York Post she’s almost seven months pregnant. She and Thomas Earle have not yet set a wedding date.

Earle owns an asphalt and road construction company. She says he helped her open Femme by Ashley, a lingerie and swimwear shop in Red Bank in May.

She declined to reveal the baby’s gender, saying “It’s a secret.”

The two were linked months after it was revealed Spitzer was “Client 9″ at Emperor’s Club. Spitzer resigned in March 2008. Neither he nor Dupre, who was referred to as “Kristen” when the story first broke,  were charged with a crime.

Dupre formerly wrote an advice column for the Post.
