MANHATTAN CRIMINAL COURT—Designer Calvin Klein's ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Gruber, was sentenced Thursday to 20 days community service for drug possession.

The former model, 22, was arrested in April after allegedly fighting with a man outside a Greenwich Street penthouse.

But when cops busted Gruber, they found cocaine stuffed in his underwear.

He was also charged with assault and resisting arrest after the April brawl, but pleaded guilty Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance, thanks to a deal with prosecutors.

Gruber said nothing as he left the courthouse Thursday.

He'll have to serve 10 days of community service in New York and 10 days of service at a non-profit of his choosing in California, where he currently lives.

Prosecutors said they were not requesting a mandatory drug treatment because he'd already completed a program.

Klein, 69, and Gruber started dating in 2010, but reportedly broke up in January.
