Luann Defends Defending Tom

Luann de Lesseps is currently in the midst of dealing with her divorce from Tom D'Agostino after seven months of marriage. However, The Real Housewives of New York City mom is still remaining optimistic when it comes to love. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

Luann recently told PEOPLE that she "absolutely" still believes in love, although she has learned some lessons from her second marriage. “I choose to see the good in people, not the negative,” she said. “I’m shamelessly optimistic. As for getting married again? Never say never. But I’d definitely be more cautious next time.” 

Still, going through this breakup is "one of the toughest times" of Luann's life, in addition to her divorce from Count Alexandre de Lesseps after 16 years of marriage in 2009. “I have a sense of failure, and I hate to fail,” Luann said. “I wake up at night, and my bed feels empty now that he’s gone.”

 

Now Luann said she is "reconnecting" with herself and "focusing on my family and my business" as she looks toward the future. “I have a new bedding line coming out, new Countess products,” she shared. “I want to pour my heart into music again, and I’ve been working on a book about resilience, about how I bounce back no matter what life throws at me. I don’t regret this marriage. I have learned from it.” 

Luann got real about her breakup, as well as what's next for her during Watch What Happens Live One-on-One with Luann de Lesseps Wednesday night. Watch Luann discuss who's to blame for the end of her marriage, below.
