"I've been dating more," de Lesseps, 58, shared exclusively with We. She was promoting her collaboration with Dr. Daryl Gioffre for his Acid-Kicking Alcohol Alkalizer. "I had a bit of a dry spell, but things are looking up now."

Although Luann de Lesseps from Real Housewives of New York City is currently single, she made it clear that she is not romantically involved with Mary-Kate Olsen’s ex-husband, Sarkozy.

"It was a fun outing. I've known him for a while," she said, mentioning that their visit to New York City's Le Bilboquet in March was purely platonic. "We're more like friends."

Earlier, there were rumors of romance between the reality star and Southern Hospitality's Bradley, 27. "We clicked really well," de Lesseps hinted to Us about their connection. "We had great chemistry."

In January, it was reported that de Lesseps and Bradley were seen getting cozy at The Dream Hotel in NYC after filming an episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen together.

In February, Bradley denied any romantic involvement with de Lesseps, but he did playfully mention his love for MILFs, jokingly referring to himself as the "mayor of MILF city" at Republic Garden & Lounge where he works.

During the season 2 reunion of Southern Hospitality, which aired on February 22, Bradley shared the truth about his connection with Luann. He admitted that they hit it off after getting a drink together. Although he acknowledged crossing a line at the hotel, he clarified that he did not kiss her.

At the time of the flirty encounter in February, Bradley's then-girlfriend Danielle Olivera from Summer House was present. This incident occurred around the time they were no longer together. Olivera later expressed her suspicion, stating that she was "99 percent sure" that something had happened between Bradley and de Lesseps.

Danielle was present at the show and later joined us for drinks at the hotel. According to de Lesseps, she mentioned that Danielle had tracked him on his phone. She verified that Bradley did indeed come over to her house with friends for drinks, but insisted that nothing more happened between them.

De Lesseps mentioned that Bradley is too young for her, mentioning that anyone in their 20s is not within her dating range. Despite this, she did acknowledge his attractiveness and great personality, stating that she genuinely enjoyed his company.

De Lesseps admitted that she is not ready for her current suitors to meet her adult children, but she is open to the idea of getting married again. She described herself as a hopeless romantic who loves love and men. She mentioned that there is no specific plan for marriage at the moment, but she quoted her own song saying, "Three times the charm. So, catch me if you can."

Luann was married to Alexandre de Lesseps from 1993 to 2009. During their marriage, they welcomed daughter Victoria, who is now 29, and son Noel, who is 27. After their divorce, Luann later married Tom D’Agostino Jr. in 2016, but the couple split the following year.

Apart from her personal life, Luann is currently focused on her Countess Cabaret show, Marry F Kill! She has a few more show dates scheduled in the U.S. until mid-May. After that, Luann will be taking her performance international, starting in London in June. For more information about the show and tickets, you can visit her website.

Luann is determined to make her 50s the best decade of her life. With the guidance of nutritionist and gut health expert Dr. Daryl Gioffre, she has been using his Acid-Kicking Alkalizer to maintain a healthy balance in her body.

"I struggle with acidity, so I need products that will help keep my body in a more basic state," Luann shared with Us magazine. Following Dr. Gioffre's advice, she has incorporated his mocha coffee powder alkalizer into her daily routine to enhance her overall well-being.

Luann shared that she adds something to her coffee every morning to reduce the acidity and give it a chocolatey flavor that she loves. She can't imagine starting her day without it. Additionally, she uses the doctor's alcohol alkalizer drops before having any alcoholic drinks.

According to Luann, adding five or six drops of the alcohol alkalizer to wine or any other alcoholic beverage helps to remove the acidity. She expressed her admiration for the products and praised the doctor behind them, describing him as a fantastic person.
