Tony Bennett’s son has accused his baby mama of failing to reimburse him for the $1 million he chipped in towards their Greenwich Village co-op.
Danny Bennett, 70, paid for “significant renovations and upgrades” to the five-bedroom space at 1 Fifth Ave., shelling out more than $23,000 a month, he said in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit against his ex, Hadley Spanier, 40, with whom he shares three kids.
They agreed to sell the home just steps from Washington Square Park if they split, but nearly 15 months after their October 2023 breakup the co-op hasn’t been sold and he hasn’t been reimbursed, Bennett said in court papers.
He acknowledged he’s not on the mortgage for the $2.9 million home, but said he “trusted Hadley” when making the oral agreement about what to do with the apartment if they split.
Bennett’s suit comes months after Spanier took him to Manhattan Supreme Court in July over a $1.95 million, 4,800-square-foot home they purchased together in Katonah, NY in September 2020.
Bennett used money from his famous father’s family trust to pay off his share of the five bedroom, six-bath mansion and failed to list her as an owner, she contended in court papers.
He also then took two mortgages out on the home, and “stripped the residence of its equity,” she claimed.
A lawyer for Spanier didn’t respond to a message seeking comment.
Bennett is also locked in an ongoing legal battle with sisters Antonia and Johanna over Danny’s handling of their famed father’s fortune.
The sisters estimate the “I Left My Heart (In San Francisco)” crooner earned $100 million in the last 15 years of his life — and demanded Danny give an accounting of the remaining estate and family trust.
