Chris Cuomo was spotted for the first time since he was axed by CNN. The political scion was snapped in the celeb haven Hamptons over the weekend.
In photos obtained by Daily Mail, the 51-year-old kept it casual in a beanie, sunglasses, and a blue shirt with a green hoodie thrown over. He appeared to be dropping off an Amazon package before heading back to his SUV on Saturday, December 11.
Chris has reportedly been holed up in the land of the rich and famous with his wife, Cristina, ever since he was canned by the political news network earlier this month. The duo, who tied the knot in 2001, share three children: Bella, Carolina and Mario — named after Chris' father, former Governor Mario Cuomo.
OK! reported Chris was terminated by CNN — where he anchored the mega-popular Cuomo Prime Time — on Saturday, December 4, after he was suspended by the network for allegedly aiding to help cover up brother and former Governor Andrew Cuomo's sexual harassment scandal.
“Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his brother's defense,” the network said in a statement at the time. “We retained a respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective immediately.”

Days later, the embattled TV personality announced he would also be ending his SiriusXM show, Let's Get After It.
"The way my time ended at CNN was hard. While I have thick skin, I also have a family, for whom the past week has been extraordinarily difficult," he tweeted on Monday, December 6. "So, right now, I have to take a step back and focus on what comes next. That means I will no longer be doing my SiriusXM radio show."
Meanwhile, days before he got the boot from CNN, Chris was accused of sexual misconduct by a former colleague. The accuser’s attorney, Debra Katz, claimed she was in active discussions with CNN to provide evidence of Chris’ indiscretions before they decided to show him the door.
Adding insult to injury, the Queens native's upcoming book, Deep Denial, was shelved by mega-publisher HarperCollins. OK! learned the book, which had been slated for release in the fall of 2022, is no longer going forward. “Custom House does not intend to publish the Chris Cuomo book,” a William Morrow spokesperson said on Tuesday, December 7.
According to a description, Deep Denial was set to be “a provocative analysis of the harsh truths that the pandemic and [President Donald] Trump years have exposed about America — about our strength and our character — and a roadmap of the work needed to make our ideals match reality.”
