“I’m more of a relationship person … I used to date Keith Hernandez, who was a Mets player,” Luann, 60, explained on the October 29 episode of The Sarah Fraser Show.
“I met him when he was the star of the Mets. I didn’t even know who he was. I met him out, and then we walked out of the restaurant, and people were asking for his autograph back then. So I was like, ‘Are you famous?’ And he was so thrilled that I didn’t know he was famous,” she continued.
Following her romance with Keith, Luann moved to Europe and met her ex-husband, Count Alexandre de Lesseps, 76.
“Not many boyfriends. I’m really a hopeless romantic in so many ways … But you know what I love is the game. That’s why you see me play the game on the
As for her body count, Luann said it was “less than probably 25,” before adding that it may be “less than 20.”
Regarding the potential return of herself and other OGs of RHONY, Luann admitted to thinking there was a chance of “something happening.”
“I’m not sure quite what. Maybe an iteration of Housewives. But I don’t know,” she shared.
As for Ramona Singer, 68, being included, Luann also wasn’t sure.
“I think that there’s so many moments where Housewives get in trouble, and then they kind of resurrect them,” she reasoned. “Look at Carole Radziwill, she just came back on [
After asking, “Who knows,” when the idea of Carole’s surprise return to RHONY was mentioned, Luann offered an update on where the two of them stand.
“I don’t mind Carole anymore. I mean, I had my moment with her. I would be surprised if she came back to the show, but I love that [
Moving on to Wendy, who was arrested for fraud earlier this month, Luann recalled appearing alongside her on Project Runway.
“Wendy was on that … [But] I don’t know her well,” she explained.
Luann then suggested that when it came to Bravo shows, scandal was essential.
“[There’s a] Housewives scandal and then, you know, there’s another TV show, another book. So I think scandal is, you know, is really very intrinsic,” she reasoned.
She then took aim at Erika, who has been accused of spending money meant for clients of her now-estranged husband Thomas Girardi‘s law firm.
“These are victims that have been stolen from. I can’t think of anything worse. I mean, stealing from the government? Sure. I mean, that, well, it’s not okay, but it’s not stealing from people that have been injured in accidents,” she stated.
Luann was then asked if anyone in the Bravo universe had caught her attention for a potential makeout session.
“Maybe Southern Hospitality,” she replied before signaling her past with Joe.
“[I] love Joe Bradley. He’s a hottie,” she gushed. “He’s got that Elvis kind of quality.”
According to Luann, she needs a confident man.
“I’m a lot,” she shared. “You have to be confident and cool. Passion is the key.”
As for whether they hooked up, Luann wouldn’t confirm or deny.
“We know that [his then-girlfriend Danielle Olivera] tracked him at my apartment, but I had other people here,” she insisted.
