Luann de Lesseps Confirms She Has a New Man In Her Life But She's "Taking It Slow This Time"
So is marriage next in the cards for the RHONY cabaret singer?
It's official? Luann de Lesseps may be off the market. The Real Housewives of New York City cabaret singer confirmed there's a special guy in her life, but is keeping details about the romance a bit of a mystery.
“I’m dating. I have somebody that I like. I’m just not bringing him around because I’m taking it easy. I’m taking it slow this time," she told Us Weekly. Well, when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen in late April she did share that while she was dating (clip above), she wasn't seeing anyone seriously, so it seems this romance has gotten a bit more serious very recently.
Earlier this season, Luann shared a similar sentiment with The Daily Dish about her dating life. "I'm so focused on doing my shows and I'm dating myself at the moment," she said. "But I am open to dating, yes. So when Mr. Right comes along, I'll let you know. You'll know all about it when Mr. Right comes along. For the moment, I haven't really met anybody that I would write a letter home to about. I'm not really looking and I feel like when you don't look, you find."
Well, she's letting us know now. So, we wonder what that means for her future with this mystery man?
What we do know is that Luann has not counted out marrying again, as she told The Daily Dish. "You know what? Never say never! Why wouldn't I?" she said when asked. "Life is a cabaret and filled with adventure. I'm the kind of girl that hops on the train instead of waiting for the next one. And I feel like a lot of opportunities in my life have happened because I'm that kind of girl. Look, you can always go home and I feel more comfortable taking adventures then I do safe. So, girls, don't be safe. Get out there and be adventurous."
Luann has been married twice. Her first marriage was to Count Alexandre de Lesseps from 1993 to 2009, with whom she has two kids. Then, of course, she was married to Tom D'Agostino less than a year after meeting each other and later began dating -- with some scrutiny from the women in the group about her desire to rush to the altar with a man who had cheated on her. They married on New Year's Eve in 2016 and were separated by the following August.
