The last time former governor Eliot and Silda Spitzer voluntarily submitted to photographers' gazes was when Eliot Spitzer announced his resignation. More than a year later, the Daily News spotted them at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel: "The smiling couple joined hundreds of Education Through Music friends and supporters at the eighth annual Children's Benefit Gala honoring Grammy-winning violinist Joshua Bell... They sipped cocktails and occasionally cast lovey-dovey looks at each other while shooting the breeze with folks." The couple, spoofed on SNL after Eliot's downfall, celebrated their 21st anniversary last October. The former governor is working for his father's real estate company and it was reported last year that Silda Spitzer was working for a hedge fund.
