Guess who’s coming to self-quarantine.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo took a detour during his daily coronavirus update to regale New Yorkers with tales of meeting his daughter’s boyfriend and holding Sunday dinner in the time of a pandemic.

“I started my tomato sauce before I left,” Cuomo volunteered during a Manhasset, Long Island press briefing. “We’re going to go back, we’re going to sit at the table, have spaghetti and meatballs on Sunday.”

Among the guests at the governor’s table was daughter Mariah Kennedy Cuomo — who recently got out of quarantine and joined her dad at the briefing — plus her unidentified boyfriend, Cuomo said.

“Mariah brought her boyfriend,” dished Cuomo, as his 25-year-old daughter with ex-wife Kerry Kennedy sat just feet away.

“The boyfriend is very nice, and we like the boyfriend.”

Cuomo took the opportunity afforded by the daily press briefing to offer an unsolicited pearl of wisdom to fathers.

“The answer of what you think of the boyfriend is always, ‘I like the boyfriend.’ Always,” he said.

“Because there’s only two options: Either you like the boyfriend, in which case you say, ‘I like the boyfriend,’ or you don’t like the boyfriend. But you can never say you don’t like the boyfriend,” he said. “I learned this lesson the hard way.”

Parents who make that mistake will have more to worry about than the coronavirus, Cuomo said.

“Otherwise, it triggers NDS. NDS is Natural Defiance Syndrome,” he said. “It’s not documented, but it is a psychological condition where, if you say as a father, ‘I don’t like him,’ Natural Defiance Syndrome kicks in, and then they like the boyfriend more because he is opposed by the father.”

But Cuomo insisted that he wasn’t simply trying to ward off NDS.

“In this case, I actually like the boyfriend,” he said. “We’re gonna be at dinner with the boyfriend, and we’re gonna have our spaghetti and our meatballs.”

Or, at least, that’s what will be on the menu.

“They won’t eat the spaghetti and meatballs, because when I cook it, they just won’t eat it,” he said. “But they move it around the dish, and that’s all I can ask.”

It was unclear where the boyfriend was isolating during coronavirus.

Cuomo used the latest quirky peek into his private life to highlight one of the silver linings brought on by the deadly coronavirus — and to urge gratitude to front-line workers answering the call despite it.

“We’re going to recall to them how important that meal was on Sundays, to have the family together, to take the time, to sit and to talk and to reconnect,” he said. “Think of all the people, all the essential workers who had to go out there every day and work in the middle of this, who frankly would have much rather stayed home.

“They didn’t get to stay home, and they got sicker and they died, more than anyone else, because they were there honoring their responsibility to their job and to public service.”
