Both The Real Housewives of New York City alum Luann de Lesseps and The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Shannon Beador have found themselves in messy splits and tough divorces, and they’ve certainly allowed fans into all the ups and downs of their personal relationships.
Who can forget the time Luann allegedly slept with “the pirate” while dating her French boyfriend Jacques? Shannon’s tumultuous marriage and divorce from her husband, David, was also heart-wrenching, and her current feud with ex-boyfriend John Janssen, who is now engaged to be married to her co-star Alexis Bellino, is just a total mess.
However, these two reality TV ladies have not given up on finding their perfect partner as they are set to star in Bravo’s newest series, Love Hotel. But, did they find the one?

Luann De Lesseps Admits Love Hotel Helped Her Find Her New Man: “I Found A Very Interesting Guy On That Show”
Luann de Lesseps has a very interesting relationship history. Her first husband, Count Alexandre de Lesseps, officially made her a Countess, and fans watched her very playful romances with French national Jacques Azoulay and infamous Real Housewives serial dater Harry Dubin on RHONY. There was Luann’s short-lived marriage to her second husband, Tom D’Agostino Jr., who she separated with after he had cheated on her, and her many flings with the likes of Mets baseball legend Keith Hernandz and her personal trainer, Garth Wakeford.
Clearly, Luann has had a very colorful past when it comes to the men she has been with. However, she isn’t giving up on finding the one. Luann is set to star in Bravo’s newest reality TV dating show, Love Hotel.
Luann made a guest appearance on Jeff Lewis’ podcast where she spoke about her time on the show. The reality TV star admitted that she found someone who caught her interest, which is shocking, knowing that reality dating shows don’t typically have a high rate of finding true romances.
“I actually find a very interesting guy on that show.”
Luann continued by stating that the show did an excellent job scouting for men that would cross off all the right boxes for the former Real Housewife. She found it quite surprising when speaking to the host, telling him that they were “heavily vetted.”
“I was amazed that they brought such good-looking, successful guys. So, I actually met somebody that I like,” she revealed.
Luann also spoke about how she was chosen to be one of the first women on Bravo’s new show. “They called me up and they go, ‘Hey Lou, we’re doing a dating show and we want you on it, what are you looking for and do you want to do it?’ You want to hook me up and pay me money to have a 3-week vacay? Done.”

Shannon Beador May Have Also Struck Gold With The Men Cast On The New Show
In the same interview with Jeff Lewis, the host announced that RHOC’s Shannon Beador and The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby were also looking for love on the first season of Love Hotel . Surprisingly, Luann hinted that “maybe three out of the four” had also found a keeper.
Prior to Luann’s interview, Shannon appeared on The Viall Files podcast where she told host Nick Viall how excited she was when she was approached to star in Love Hotel.
During her interview, Shannon divulged that she had “met a lot of new people,” but wouldn’t reveal if she had met a future husband. “I don’t know that I’m even ready for a relationship right now. I want to have fun.” However, Shannon may just be teasing fans so that they tune in and see if she really did find someone worth her time.
The women set to star in Love Hotel | Real Housewives franchise | Relationship History |
|---|---|---|
Luann de Lesseps | The Real Housewives of New York City alum | Married to her first husband, Count Alexandre de Lesseps from 1993-2009, married to her second husband Tom D’Agostino Jr. from 2016-2017. |

Of course, fans who have been following Shannon on RHOC all know how messy her split with ex-boyfriend John Janssen has played out. Now engaged to her cast mate Alexis Bellino, the two have been viewed as villains throughout Season 18 for wanting to blackmail Shannon with damning footage of the night of her September 2023 DUI. John also sued Shannon for $75,000 after claiming that that was the money she owed him after paying for her facelift.
Ultimately, they settled the lawsuit with Shannon sharing a photo on Instagram of a receipt for the sum of $60,000. She tagged both John and Alexis and wrote, “Enjoy..”

Shannon Had Revealed She Wanted To Be The First Golden Bachelorette
In Shannon’s interview with Nick Viall, she admitted that she really wanted to be the first-ever Golden Bachelorette. That, of course, went to former The Golden Bachelor contestant Joan Vassos, who had a successful run when she gave her final rose to Chock Chapple.
According to Shannon, it didn’t hurt to ask, despite the franchise being known for choosing past contestants to be the new lead. She told the host, “We have some producers who work for the Bachelor franchise. And I said, ‘What about me being the Golden Bachelorette?‘”
She continued, “And then I said, ‘I know you’re going to use somebody from the past, so whatever.’ You know, we just kind of put it out there.'”
Luckily, Shannon got a call from Andy Cohen to star in the Love Hotel, which appears to have somewhat of a similar format to the Bachelor franchise. She told Nick:
“So, I kind of am a
Golden Bachelorette
on the
Love Hotel
. I was the oldest.”
According to People, the series is set to air sometime in the spring of 2025 and “will gather eligible singles in a quest to win the hearts of four of Bravo’s biggest bachelorettes.” Filming took place in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with the four women given “a diverse dating pool.”
Here’s hoping all four women find love!
