Tom D"Agostino: Already Dating After Split from Luann de Lesseps!

Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino are divorcing. Officially. After their short, short marriage, they’re not trying a trial separation but just ripping off the bandaid.


It’s such a sorry situation for Luann that even Bethenny Frankel feels sorry for her. And Bethenny Frankel isn’t exactly what you’d call a bleeding heart.


Apparently, things aren’t so hard on Tom D’Agostino. And, to absolutely no one’s surprise, Tom is reportedly already back to dating.



Hey, so, remember when Tom D’Agostino spoke to Us Weekly and told them that he and Luann had a lot of love between them and had no plans to split?


Well … we don’t want to be mean and say womp womp, but that sure didn’t last.


As it turns out, cheating on your fiance right before your engagement party doesn’t usually spell success for your marriage.


Basically everyone had warned Luann, but if she was a fool to marry Tom, then she was a fool who wanted to believe that love could conquer all obstacles and overcome any issues in their relationship.


There are worse dumb things to believe.


Overall, it seemed, Tom D’Agostino just had a wandering eye, and wandering other parts, and wasn’t going to let a little thing like marriage to a beautiful celebrity like Luann hold him back.


(It sounds like he might have some impulse-control issues, with a severe case of basically being immune to consequences and the entitlement that comes with that)


So, given that he was reportedly getting around during his engagement and marriage to Luann, it’s not really a shock to hear that he’s already back to dating openly.



Us Weekly reports that Tom D’Agostino is 


“Tom has been seeing a few of the women in his life, including Missy, but hasn’t rebounded with anyone in particular yet.”


That’s a reference to his ex-girlfriend, Missy Tool.


Us Weekly says that another source insists that Missy and Tom are “just friends.”


Overall, though, that sounds pretty consistent with Tom, though we’d point out that seeing a bunch of different women is fine … when you’re single.


As he is no0w.


The first source has more to add.


“He didn’t want to do any interviews until he sees Luann’s sit-down with Andy to see if she bad-mouths him. Tom is really trying to take the high road with the divorce.”



Tom and Luann filed jointly for divorce, so it makes sense for them to try to be amicable.


There was a rumor floating around towards the end of their marriage …


(Though the eight-month marriage was so brief that any part of it could also be said to be “right at the beginning”)


… That Luann had struck Tom, slapping him in a restaurant. That sounded a lot like domestic violence.


When asked about it, Luann had stated that she had grabbed his face during their conversation. That’s not okay either, but a lot less alarming.


Tom’s rumored cheating plagued their relationship almost from the beginning, to the point where it became a storyline on The Real Housewives of New York City.


Tom is said to have grown tired of his newfound spotlight and celebrity status that came with marrying a Real Housewife, though … many imagine that the true impetus behind the divorce was the cheating.



We wonder if Tom has ever considered that he should be in an open relationship?


If he wants the affection and stability of a committed partner but also wants to be free to hook up with different women, that’s totally possible.


Polyamorous relationships can take a lot of forms, and the simplest of them is a couple that’s in an open relationship where both partners love and support each other but also know that they don’t need to sneak around if they hook up with a coworker or friend or a stranger in a bar.


Of course, for some people, it’s not that they just don’t like exclusivity — there are people who get a thrill from cheating and prefer things that way. That is something very different.


Honestly, we just want Luann and Tom to be able to move on and live their best lives.


And not repeat past mistakes.

Luann de Lesseps and Tom D"Agostino: Divorcing!

No longer a countess, and soon, no longer even married.


Luann de Lesseps has finally taken the advice of many of her friends and fellow Real Housewives and is ending her marriage to Tom D’Agostino.


This isn’t a rumor — it’s official.



Hey, so remember when Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino definitely probably weren’t splitting up?


We can’t say that we’re surprised that they couldn’t cling to their denials.


Their relationship sounded toxic on a number of levels.


Page Six reports that Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino have filed jointly for divorce after eight years of marriage.


They filed for divorce today, folks.


The filing took place in Sag Harbor, Long Island. 


Luann confirmed the divorce on Twitter just a few hours ago:


“It’s with great sadness that Tom & I agreed to divorce. We care for each other very much, hope you respect our privacy during this sad time!”



We’re instantly reminded of Luann getting earnest advice and basically refusing to listen.


Remember when Bethenny Frankel talked about how Jason Hoppy was still tormenting her?


She described her situation as being in hell.


(Considering how recently Jason Hoppy was arraigned on new stalking charges against her, that barely sounds like an exaggeration)


If you’ll recall, Bethenny was bringing up her situation to try to convey to Luann that just following her heart or her bliss is fine and well for Disney princesses but doesn’t work out so well in real life.


Tom D’Agostino was accused again and again of cheating on Luann, pretty much throughout their relationship.


Married life hasn’t settled things down, and the two have apparently been constantly having trouble getting along.


Again, the two of them have only been married for eight months.


Eight.


Cheating during a relationship happens more than most people would care to believe.


But Bethenny Frankel showed Luann photos of Tom kissing an ex of his right before his and Luann’s engagement party.


That’s a bit rarer.


(Luann, at the time, dismissed it as a “mistake” rather than a premeditated affair … oh honey)


Cheating allegations against Tom D’Agostino formed half of the recent storylines on The Real Housewives of New York, it’s seemed.


As is so often the case, what’s good for reality television drama is not good at all for a marriage.



Curiously, though, it sounds like Tom D’Agostino had his own reasons for agreeing to this divorce.


Tom is 50.


While he’s apparently not too old to be running around the city like a horndog who can’t keep his pants on (allegedly), he apparently wasn’t down for what life with Luann meant.


That is — fame.


Specifically, the “lifestyle” of being a reality television personality.


“He used to live this really nice life in the city,” Page Six was told by a source.


“He’s a private person and all of a sudden he was living this crazy celebrity life.”


Tom’s alleged reasoning even refers to Luann’s former career as a nurse.


“He loved the nurse from Connecticut, not the reality TV star.”



That’s kind of interesting, considering that Tom D’Agonstino had reportedly dated two other women from The Real Housewives of New York City prior to dating and marrying Luann.


(Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan)


It sounds like either there are only a couple dozen rich women in New York, which we somehow doubt, or Tom D’Agostino was courting fame.


And bit off more than he could chew.


It’s also possible that Tom is just using this as an excuse, as if the divorce were his idea, rather than a result of his alleged impulsive and hurtful cheating.

"RHONY" Star Luann D"Agostino Announces Divorce from Husband

Luann de Lesseps and Tom D"Agostino: We Are NOT Splitting Up! ... Probably

With questions about Luann’s relationship with Tom D’Agostino being one of the storylines on The Real Housewives of New York City, it’s no surprise that people have questioned the integrity of their marriage.


Also, we keep hearing story after story about Tom cheating on Luann. … 


But after the two recently quarreled in public while dining at a restaurant, they knew that they had to speak out and tell fans what’s really going on.



Luann de Lesseps is no longer a countess after her divorce from Count Alexandre de Lesseps.


But she will always be Countless Luann in our hearts, you know?


She and Tom D’Agostino Jr got married last December.


Honestly, it’s usually not a great sign of people are arguing a lot or even just rumored to be arguing a lot less than a year into their marriage.


There have even been reports that the two have been splitting up and then reconciling over and over.


That would be worrisome anyway — this is a marriage, not a high school relationship.


But they’re supposed to be in their honeymoon phase, right?


That sounds super unhealthy.



But Tom D’Agostino says that he and Luann de Lesseps haven’t split up, as he tells Us Weekly.


“There is a lot of love here.”


That’s very clear, though sometimes love alone just isn’t enough.


“We want it to succeed.”


His statement’s pretty succinct, but we guess that he felt that it was enough without trying to speak over Luann.


(Maybe we’re giving him too much credit, but that shows promise for their relationship)


You’d think that if love were such a priority, he’d manage to resist his impulses to cheat, but … that’s their business, we guess.


Most people who are romantically inclined agree that love is worth fighting for.


That’s apparently not just the sort of thing that happens in fairytales and action movies.


But in real life, fighting for love usually means working out your differences with the person you love.


That’s a lot more complicated than, like, slaying a dragon or whatever.


As for their argument at the restaurant, Us says that it’s not even that big of a deal — the two don’t fight like that a lot, but it did happen to happen in public.



You know, some couples argue more than others.


Some people get into angry feuds with their friends for a few days and then they reunite and it’s all good.


Other people never, ever get into fights or arguments with friends because the first incident of that would end the friendship.


Relationships, and marriages, can be just as varied along that spectrum.


Of course, abuse in any relationship would be unacceptable.


And even arguments that don’t involve abuse could imply a deeply toxic, unhealthy relationship.


It’s possible that Luann and Tom are just working through some things early on and that they’ll find their rhythm and have a perfect relationship from here on out.


It’s also possible that Luann and Tom, if they’re really struggling so much with each other, just shouldn’t be together.


(Again, if Tom is constantly cheating, that’s more than just a red flag)


Fighting can turn into resentment, and resentment can build and fester.


And often, you can end up with hateful exes.


Just look at Jason Hoppy’s latest stalking charges and you’ll see how toxic exes can be.



Only time will tell whether Luann and Tom’s problems are “my roommate’s a morning person and I’m not” problems or “my roommate smokes in the house and also keeps selling my belongings so they can buy meth” problems.


One of those can be addressed as you learn to live with each other.


The other means that you need to separate immediately.


But you know, we really do wish Luann the best.


The best with Tom (one way or the other), the best with making peace between Bethenny and Ramona (good luck), and the best in life.


And, hey, if Luann and Tom work out whatever underlying issues they’re having this early on, maybe they can look forward to spending the rest of their lives without feeling quarrelsome.


You never know.

LuAnn De Lesseps & Tom D"Agostino: Married!

LuAnn de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino actually managed to make it down the aisle in a lavish ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida. 


The nuptials took place on New Year’s Eve.


If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online, you’re probably sitting there wondering what the hell LuAnn was thinking by going ahead with the wedding. 



If you recall, Tom was the man who seemed to be getting a little too close to some of LuAnn’s co-stars on the Bravo reality series.


It resulted in Bethenny Frankel lifting the lid on all of the bad things to LuAnn. 



Unfortunately, LuAnn chose to jump to Tom’s defense and it kind of set the tone for some boring episodes of the series.


LuAnn did not seem to give a damn that the man she was about to spend her life with was stepping out on her. 



It’s hard to imagine there being a happy ending if Tom was looking at other women this early into the relationship. 


We all know that Frankel loves being a troublemaker, but it sucks when no one takes your claims seriously. 



LuAnn was accompanied on the big day from the likes of Dorinda Medley, Kelly Bensimon, Jill Zarin, Cynthia Bailey and Marysol Patton.


It was pretty clear from the get-go that not all of LuAnn’s co-stars would make the cut to be invited. 


Maybe LuAnna just wanted a drama-free day and probably knew that Bethenny would have shouted out a list of objections during the ceremony. 



Countess LuAnn dazzled in a beautiful white dress. This marks her second wedding. 


It’s unclear at this stage whether RHONY was filming throughout the wedding. 


Fans love to see some televised weddings, but LuAnn and Tom might have wanted to keep this event on the down low. 



Not everything should be broadcast on TV. Right?


What do you think about LuAnn and Tom tying the knot? Should they have waited to see if Tom could keep it in his pants?


Sound off below!

LuAnn de Lesseps: Why Did She Forgive Fiance Tom D"Agostino Jr.?

He made her look like a total ass hat on The Real Housewives of New York, but LuAnn de Lesseps still wants to marry fiance Tom D"Agostino Jr.


Entertainment Tonight had a sit-down with de Lesseps at her Hamptons home, where they discussed her relationship with D"Agostino and where they stand after he was caught kissing another woman days after proposing to the reality star.


The revelation unfolded on camera, with de Lesseps pacing back and forth in a hotel room, furious as her future husband (whom she had dated for about 6 minutes before he proposed), admitted that he done wrong.



It turns out that all is forgiven, and the wedding is still on.


"We love each other,” de Lesseps told ET.


 


“I always say if you can"t forgive the people you love, then who can you forgive? … I"m not going to let a silly kiss ruin the rest of our lives.”


The couple"s talk made de Lesseps wonder if they should move forward with wedding plans, but…nah.  It was just a dumb mistake.


“If he was trying to hide something would he really be in public? In the middle of the Regency Hotel? Kissing somebody?” she asked.


“I think he was just being stupid, and people make mistakes.”



Oh, girl.  Come on.


“I think the key is to know and believe that someone is truly remorseful and somebody truly made a mistake, that there was no premeditation,” she continued.


“I think it was not premeditated — I think it was a silly move and something that he feels really terrible about, and that meant really nothing to him.”


 


The Countess and Mr. Kissing Bandit plan to wed in Palm Beach on New Year"s Eve.  While de Lesseps confirmed that co-star Sonja Morgan is on the invite list, she"s not so sure about those other bitches.


“I’m still working on my guest list,” she claimed. “This is the most exciting time of my life, getting married again after all this time. I am thrilled. I am not going to let what has happened on the show ruin the most exciting time of my life."


Translation: Ramona "Stinger" Singer is not invited.



As for Bethenny Frankel? She"s on de Lesseps" shit list for not coming straight to her with evidence that D"Agostino cheated.


“She should’ve talked to me first,” she told People Magazine.


“Not the other women, not tried to call Tom, but talk to me. I find that very bizarre. It’s terrible.


"That’s not somebody who has your best interest in mind – that’s someone who has their own agenda. [They] don’t have my back.” 


I don"t usually say this, but I agree with the Countess.

LuAnn de Lesseps: Engaged to Tom D"Agostino!

SPLASH!


That sound you just heard may have been Ramona Singer falling into her wine glass.



That’s because LuAnn de Lesseps, Singer’s co-star on The Real Housewives of New York City, has confirmed that she’s engaged to Tom D’Agostino Jr., who happens to be Singer’s ex-boyfriend.


The couple has been teasing this romantic news for weeks now, ever since we reported last month that they were dating.


Insiders told People Magazine at the time that de Lesseps is “completely over the moon” for the real estate investor and and that a “big announcement is imminent.”


So here it is:


“Thomas was planning on a Valentine’s Day proposal during their upcoming vacation in Vail, but couldn’t wait and presented an eight-carat canary yellow diamond ring before they got there,” a source close to Lesseps tells People.


Yes, you read that correctly: EIGHT carats!


The anonymous insider goes on to say that LuAnn considers Tom to be “her soulmate and is so happy and grateful to have found love a second time.”


Lesseps was married to Count Alexandre De Lesseps from 1993 to 2009 and the exes share two children, son Noel and daughter Victoria.



Tragically, once her impending marriage is made official, the reality star will lose her courtesy title of Countess.


However, have no fear: her businesses, The Countess Collection: Styled for Living (which features her apparel and jewelry collections on Evine.com) will stick around.


PHEW.


Lesseps was introduced to D’Agostino about nine months ago.


They haven’t been dating long, but when the heart wants what the heart wants, one cannot argue with said heart.


No word yet on when this wedding will take place, but we’re guessing LuAnn de Lesseps won’t be shy is passing along every last detail.


We send our very best wishes to the happy couple and we can’t wait to watch The Real Housewives of New York City online to see how their relationship evolves.

LuAnn de Lesseps: Dating Ramona"s Ex, Tom D"Agostino

She’s in love and she wants the whole interweb to know it.



LuAnn de Lesseps is in a serious relationship with Thomas D’AgostinoJr, CEO of Smart Source, LLC and and a New York City real estate investor.


Prior to this, D’Agostino dated de Lesseps’ co-star, Ramona Singer as recently as September, per a story on Radar.


It didn’t last, as sources claimed that the millionaire businessman had his eyes on the Connecticut-born former model.


Over the weekend, de Lesseps, 50, tweeted a photo of herself with D’Agostino in Palm Beach.


“First time playing golf with Tom!” she wrote. “#PalmBeach #Breakers #love.”


Now, sources are telling People that an engagement is not far off.


One witness spotted them looking at rings inside Graff Diamonds.


de Lesseps is “completely over the moon,” and a “big announcement is imminent.”







The couple reportedly stayed at the Brazilian Court Hotel during the holidays, and made the rounds at parties.


Friends of both de Lesseps and Singer insist that there are no hard feelings, which makes sense given their history with recycling men.


If you recall, de Lesseps, Singer and Sonja Morgan all dated or had some sort of relationship with Aviva Drescher’s ex-husband, Harry Dubin.  It’s like Goldilocks for wealthy Manhattanites.


The Real Housewives of New York City is currently filming its eighth season.
