Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner popped out of his Manhattan home Sunday after very publicly spending Saturday evening with Huma Abedin — who he insisted to The Post is still his ex.

If lingering fans of the onetime power couple ever relished the thought of a reunion between the ex-con and top Hillary Clinton aide, Weiner quickly put the kibosh on the notion.

Asked whether he and his ex-wife were back together after the pair was spotted dining next to each other in Manhattan’s Ziegfeld Ballroom during the city’s Inner Circle show, the former congressman tersely replied, “No.

“We were invited separately by our longtime friends Margo and John [Catsimatidis],” he said, referring to the supermarket and WABC 77 radio mogul, who bought a table of tickets to the famous local charity event featuring press and New York City pols including Mayor Eric Adams.

Weiner — wearing a blue baseball cap, blue light jacket, sneakers and chinos while heading to his gray Kia Sorento outside his East Village home — added, “The show was great.”

He was accompanied by his and Abedin’s pre-teen son, Jordan.

The former pol and Abedin split after she suffered through years of the ex-congressman’s sexting scandals that forced him to resign from office and later derailed his comeback bid while running for mayor in 2013.

The images of a crotch shot he sent to a woman while lying next to his young son in 2016 was “the last straw” in their marriage, Abedin has said.

Abedin, the former vice chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, initially filed for divorce from Weiner in 2017, after he was sentenced to nearly two years in prison for sexting with a 15-year-old North Carolina girl. The divorce was finalized years later.

Weiner was convicted of one count of transmitting obscene material to a minor in 2017 and served 18 months at the Federal Medical Center at Devens in Massachusetts.

He was also required to register as a sex offender.

Weiner has since launched a political radio show, which he co-hosts with Republican Curtis Sliwa on 77 WABC radio. Catsimatidis owns the station, making him Weiner’s boss.

At Saturday’s event, in a spoof of “Batman Forever” rodent-hating Adams was lampooned as “Ratman,” opposite his press secretary Fabian Levy’s “Fobin,” at the outlandish Inner Circle annual charity gala.

Adams, in the traditional comedic response put on by City Hall, played along — appearing with a hammer to smash “rats” in the sketch alongsideJeannette Bayardelle, a Tony-nominated Broadway actress from “Girl from the North Country,” who appeared in a rodent costume with a long tail.
