Tommy Hilfiger — after a bit of a delay — got remarried just before the holidays in Greenwich, Conn.
It was all very rush-rush and hush-hush, but the stylist married Dee Ocleppo.
The new Mrs. Hilfiger is the gracious and popular ex-wife of Gianni Ocleppo, the famous Italian tennis player. But you probably knew that.
What you may not have known is that the wedding was scheduled for August in Hilfiger's Mustique retreat called Palm Beach, where he is Mick Jagger's neighbor. She had her dress. There was an announced engagement ... with media coverage. There was an 8.2-carat engagement iceberg on her hand.
But for whatever reasons, there was a hasty cancellation and then uncharacteristic silence.Some unscrupulous newspaper columnists — not I, not I — insinuated there was behind-the-scenes wrangling over the prenup.
Hilfiger has four children from his previous marriage to Susie, who is creative director of children's clothier, Best & Co. Daughter Ally was a reality star on MTV's now-defunct Rich Girls, and son Rich is a hip-hop hopeful.
Dee has two sons from her previous marriage......

Tommy Hilfiger and his gorgeous gal pal are taking a trip down the aisle today in a top-secret, ultra-private wedding ceremony in Greenwich, Conn.
The only person who will be attending the service at Hilfiger's sprawling Connecticut estate - beside the blond bride and preppy groom - is the justice of the peace performing the vows.
We wanted to do it before Christmas," Hilfiger said last night, his about-to-be wife Dee Ocleppo at his side sporting an 8.2-carat diamond engagement ring.
As for their wedding attire, both plan to wear Hilfiger jackets. The happy couple are planning a New Year's party to celebrate their nuptials.They'd planned to marry in August, but postponed the affair.
"A wedding does become a bit complicated," said Hilfiger, who'd earlier told Page Six he postponed the wedding to work out living arrangements for Ocleppo's two kids.......
