Dasha Zhukova is spending time with Stavros Niarchos III

Dasha Zhukova is moving on with Stavros Niarchos III, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

Zhukova — the gorgeous founder of Garage Magazine — and shipping heir and financier Niarchos have been seen together around town, well-heeled spies say, including on Thursday night at the annual Acquisitions Dinner of the Metropolitan Museum, where Zhukova’s a board member.

They’ve also been spotted recently at an Art Basel Miami event curated by Diana Widmaier Picasso, as well as at a Garage Magazine event celebrating artist Jeff Koons.

A source told Page Six of the pair: “They’ve been friends for a long time, and they recently started spending time together.”

Page Six exclusively reported in August that Zhukova and billionaire Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich were splitting after a decade together.

The couple said at the time that “we remain close friends” and that they would continue to work together on art projects such as their Rem Koolhaas-designed Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and New Holland Island cultural center in Saint Petersburg, Russia.

Niarchos reportedly dated model Jessica Hart for seven years — but she publicly confirmed their split earlier this year. At one point they were rumored to be engaged.

But buzz has grown in New York social circles that Zhukova and Niarchos have recently moved on to become more than just friends.

Also at the Met’s Acquisitions Dinner — where the museum gives guests behind-the-scenes stories about how works were collected — were Leonard and Judith Lauder, Ronald and Jo Carole Lauder, Michael Bloomberg, John Theodoracopulos and Serena Boardman, Lois de Menil, Arne Glimcher, Emmanuel Di Donna, Vito Schnabel, Bob Colacello and Aby Rosen.

Vice Media acquired a controlling stake in Garage Magazine last year.
