SECRET’S OUT: HILFIGER TYING KNOT TODAY

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.

But now that everything is sorted out, Ocleppo said, “My kids are happy.”

So are Hilfiger’s four children, he said.

After the ceremony, the couple, who have been dating for three years, will toast their union with a glass of champagne.

For a honeymoon, they’re jetting to Mustique, a private island in the West Indies popular with the glitterati.

Hilfiger was previously married to Susie Hilfiger, the creative director of Best & Co., and Ocleppo was married to Italian tennis player Gianni Ocleppo.
