“I Was Flattered That Two Boys Were Fighting Over Me”
The Countess is back — and this time she’s checking into Bravo’s Love Hotel in search of romance. Whether she’s commanding New York society or sunbathing in Cabo, Luann de Lesseps brings her signature mix of elegance, humor, and heat.
Sparks Fly in the Villa
Just two episodes in, Luann already has two admirers—Mark, a 61-year-old NYC real estate developer, and Gerry, a 57-year-old retired carpenter—competing for her attention. Their poolside drama? Not a problem.
“Be civilized, boys. You’ll get your turn.”
“I wasn’t upset,” Luann said. “I was flattered.”
High Standards, No Settling
With two marriages behind her, she knows what she wants in a partner—and a ranch house isn’t part of it. “Will they keep up with our lifestyle?” she asked. “Three times the charm for me.”
She gave her first room key to Ralph, calling him “hot, with a wonderful face, good hair, and muscular.”
A Low-Key Love History
Surprisingly, Luann prefers her dates know little about her Bravo history. “Don’t Google me — just hang out with me for a minute,” she said. She wants authenticity, not assumptions.
Villa Friendships
Luann shares the Love Hotel with Bravo favorites Shannon Beador, Ashley Darby, and Gizelle Bryant. She bonded with each quickly and called them her “wingwomen.”
Flirting, Countess-Style
Luann believes it all begins with eye contact—and a good kiss. “Scent, chemistry, and teeth. Teeth are very important.”
She also swears by old-school flirting. “I’d get love notes on planes,” she said. And yes, she has tips: use a waiter to pass a message. “Subtle, but it works.”
She’s even toying with the idea of writing a book on the subject.
Next: A Spin-Off?
If Love Hotel doesn’t lead to husband number three, Luann’s ready to star in her own dating show: Who Can Seduce the Socks Off the Countess?
“Throw men at me. Go ahead. Am I the Kim Cattrall of the family or what?”
What’s Ahead
Expect more camaraderie, chemistry, and chaos—with the men stirring up most of the drama. “We’re each other’s wingmen,” Luann teased. “And like Andy Cohen says, watch what happens.”
