Tucker and Sherry, in happier days

Former New York Giants first-round draft pick and north county developer Tucker Frederickson has been hit by a divorce filing.

His wife of 22 years and the mother of his four children, homemaker Sherry Frederickson, filed in Palm Beach County family court last month and alleges that he squandered marital assets on people other than her.

Sherry, 51, claims her relationship with the college football hall of famer has undergone “an irretrievable breakdown” and their marital bond was severed.

She also accuses Tucker, 68, an All-American at Auburn University in 1964, of “dissipating assets by conferring them upon associates, relatives, paramours.”

Said Sherry’s attorney, Stuart’s Josh Ferraro: “We’re hoping we can resolve this matter quickly and quietly.”

Tucker’s lawyer didn’t return calls for comment but his response to the divorce petition shows he denies wasting marital dollars and keeping galpals.

Still, Sherry wants “a disproportionate” share of the marital assets because she always depended on Tucker for financial support.

She also wants the couple’s $1.5 million home at Seminole Landing, the fancy North Palm Beach community that golfer Tiger Woods‘ ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, now calls home.

Blumenkopf

Today personality Hoda Kotb has been trying her darnedest to keep her new man’s identity under the radar, but even her best isn’t good enough for Page2Live.

Meet Boca Raton lawyer and single dad of two Jay Blumenkopf, the corporate law guru who, sources say, has been sharing the NBC morning star’s life for the past six months.

With Kathie Lee Gifford on Today’s fourth hour Monday through Friday, the oft-imitated (on Saturday Night Live) but-never-duplicated Hoda has been squawking about how sweet and gentlemanly her “Jay” is.

Never, however, has she mentioned his last name.

But insiders at the New York/Boca lawfirm of Yoss LLP tell me Blumenkopf has been telling his colleagues he’s da man!

“You could say he’s pretty proud of himself,” one informant told me. “So he makes no secret of it.”

When I called Hoda, 46, in her New York City condo to confirm, what had started as a pleasant conversation was cut short when I brought up Blumenkopf’s name. Hoda’s publicist declined comment. And neither Blumenkopf nor his daughters have returned calls or emails.

Top Palm Beach County lawyer John Christiansen, who specializes in high-profile divorces, is now his own client.

The 66-year-old Christiansen, a 30-year courtroom veteran, filed for divorce in Palm Beach County after nearly 22 years of marriage, his third and the wife’s second.

Dr. Susan Christiansen, Susie to her friends, is a 52-year-old clinical psychologist who specializes in marriage and family issues.

She was tapped last year to star on a Real Housewives-style show filmed in Palm Beach. The pilot was filmed at philanthropist George Cloutier’s Palm Beach home but the project was shelved.

Susie has yet to respond to John’s petition.

But this much is clear: She could end up with nothing!

With the Los Angeles Lakers in SoFla, where they were beaten by the Miami Heat last night, you knew that basketball wife and reality TV star Khloe Kardashian would be popping up all over the place.

Here is the 26-year-old (above) at actor Danny DeVito’s Miami Beach eatery, DeVito South Beach, with husband and Lakers forward Lamar Odom, and Palm Beach County restaurateurs David and Lynn Manero, who co-own the joint.

I’m told Khloe, aka Kim’s lil’ sis, and her honey dined on carpaccio, sole and meat balls while filming for their new E! reality show, Khloe & Lamar.

In Boca Raton, meanwhile, the law firm of Brotman, Nusbaum and Fox celebrated the grand opening of their new building on Royal Palm Road with a giant shindig. Former Heisman Trophy winner and Green Bay Packers great Desmond Howard was a guest.

Partner Marc Brotman (below, with Howard) couldn’t resist taking the Heisman pose that Howard reveled in taking after scoring touchdowns for the University of Michigan. Howard, however, wouldn’t strike the pose, saying people would make fun of him.

No, they wouldn’t!

A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Deputy who specializes in online child porn was nabbed Tuesday after an investigation into illegal online purchases of the highly addictive pain-killer hydrocodone.

Patrick Paige, 47, a 21-year veteran of the agency who once arrested a Boca Raton rabbi after leading him to believe he was a 14-year-old boy trolling for sex online, was charged with possession of a controlled substance without prescription.

Paige was booked last night but PBSO spokeswoman Teri Barbera said he’s been on administrative leave from his special investigations post since December. He remains on leave as the Internal Affairs probe starts.

“Deputy Paige is a long-standing and well-respected member of the law enforcement community,” said Paige’s lawyer, Scott Suskauer. “He’s a family man and an ethical, honest policeman.”

Suskauer said he represented several suspects arrested by Paige, and found Paige to be a straight-shooter.
