Even his wife doesn’t want him.

Assemblyman Micah Kellner was dumped after losing the Democratic primary for Manhattan’s Upper East Side council seat amid sex-harassment allegations.

His wife of three years confirmed the split to The Post.

“Micah and I remain good friends,” Marie Ternes said in a statement. “I campaigned for him, voted for him, and am proud of the work he has done and continues to do for East Siders and all New Yorkers.”

Ternes has moved out of their Upper East Side digs and is seeking a divorce, friends say.

Kellner was the front-runner for the council seat currently held by Jessica Lappin until it was revealed in July that a female staffer filed a complaint against him in 2009 for sending sexually charged messages.

Like Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, Ternes stuck by her man, campaigning with him until the Sept. 10 primary, when he lost by nearly 7 points.

A spokesperson for Kellner didn’t return calls.
