#BreakingNews: #RHONY Alumna Countess Luann is PREGNANT and Getting Married Later This Month
In a jaw-dropping twist worthy of the Real Housewives franchise, The Real Housewives of New York City alumna Countess Luann de Lesseps has confirmed that she is pregnant and set to walk down the aisle later this month.
The 59-year-old reality TV star, singer, and cabaret icon shared the news exclusively with Bravo Insider, sending shockwaves through the Bravosphere. “It’s completely unexpected, but absolutely a blessing,” Luann said in a statement. “I never thought I’d be saying this at my age, but here I am — pregnant and getting married again. Life has a funny way of surprising you.”
The father of the baby is reportedly a European entrepreneur in his late 40s whom Luann has been quietly dating for the past year. The pair met during one of her summer performances on the French Riviera, and sources say their chemistry was “undeniable” from the moment they met.
While Luann has kept this relationship under the radar — a notable departure from her usually high-profile love life — insiders say the couple has been living together in Sag Harbor for several months. “He’s charming, respectful, and makes her laugh like no one else,” a close friend told Page Six. “She’s glowing — and not just because she’s expecting!”
The wedding is reportedly being planned as an intimate waterfront ceremony in the Hamptons with only close friends and family. However, Bravo fans are already speculating whether the event will be filmed for an upcoming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip spinoff — or even a surprise RHONY reunion special.
This marks Luann’s third marriage. Her first, to French aristocrat Count Alexandre de Lesseps, earned her the title “Countess,” which she continues to use professionally. Her second, a brief but memorable union with Tom D’Agostino Jr., played out on RHONY with explosive drama, culminating in a split just seven months later.
Since leaving the RHONY main cast, Luann has reinvented herself as a cabaret star with her hit show Countess and Friends, and she’s been a fan-favorite on several Real Housewives specials. Her journey — from divorce, arrest, rehab, and now pregnancy and marriage — is nothing short of remarkable.
Social media exploded within minutes of Luann’s announcement. Fans flooded Twitter and Instagram with reactions ranging from stunned disbelief to heartfelt congratulations. Fellow Housewives past and present chimed in with love and support, with Sonja Morgan posting: “Omg Lu!! A baby Countess on the way? I’m crying!!! Mazel!”
Luann hasn’t revealed how far along she is in her pregnancy, but her rep confirmed that both she and the baby are “happy, healthy, and thriving.” As for what’s next? Luann hinted at the possibility of documenting this new chapter: “The Countess is back — and this time, I’ve got a baby bump instead of a glass of rosé!”
One thing’s for certain: if anyone can pull off a fabulous wedding and a maternity wardrobe at the same time, it’s Countess Luann. Stay tuned, Bravoholics — this summer just got way more interesting.
