| The woman, named in court papers as Kristen, is Ashley Alexandra Dupre, the New York Times reported.
Ms Dupre, 22, told the Times she did not want "to be thought of as a monster", but gave no comments on her alleged relationship with Mr Spitzer.
He resigned after evidence came to light that he was the client of a high-end prostitution ring.
The scandal erupted on Monday when federal investigators revealed that a wiretap had caught the 48-year-old arranging to meet "Kristen" at a Washington hotel on 13 February.
Flanked by his wife, Mr Spitzer told a news conference on Wednesday that he could not allow "private failings" to disrupt public work. He is to hand over power on Monday.
Mr Spitzer again apologised for not living up to the standards he demanded of others - but he gave no details of the allegations against him
Ms Dupre was born Ashley Youmans. She left home in New Jersey at the age of 17 and moved to New York where she hoped to become a singer, the Times said.
Ms Dupre did not comment when asked by the newspaper when she first met Mr Spitzer and how many times they had met.
"This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated," she told the Times.
It is not clear whether or not Ms Dupre will face charges but she is reported to have hired a lawyer.
Federal investigators have alleged that a wiretap caught Mr Spitzer arranging to meet a $1,000-an-hour prostitute named Kristen who worked for the Emperor's Club VIP prostitution ring.
Mr Spitzer is reported to have paid thousands of dollars over 18 months to the ring
