Los Angeles Mayor Has Affair with Local Reporter

Two years after an affair with a local television reporter ended his marriage, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigo was spotted getting close with another on-air journalist – one who has reported on the mayor in the past.

L.A.’s NBC Channel 4 broke the story Monday, posting photos of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and Lu Parker in a local bookstore. Parker is a general assignment reporter and weekend anchor for KTLA-TV Channel 5. She is also a former Miss U.S.A.

Officials at the station confirmed that Parker and the mayor have been dating since March, the L.A. Times reported, and added that Parker will no longer cover politics.

Two years ago, the mayor’s affair with a reporter and anchor for the local Telemundo affiliate ended his 20-year marriage, the Times reported. Villaraigosa and his wife separated. Their divorce isn’t final yet.

The mayor’s spokesman had no comment on Villaraigosa’s current relationship, the Times reported.

The moral of this story is… um, nothing. He will obviously never learn.
