LuAnn de Lesseps denies slapping husband Tom in public
LuAnn de Lesseps continues to defend her “passionate love affair” with second husband Tom D’Agostino Jr.
During Wednesday’s appearance on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” the “Real Housewives of New York” staple dismissed Page Six’s report her marriage is hanging by a thread, denying she and her spouse had gotten physical at a glitzy Manhattan eatery.
“Do they love Tom and I? Oh my God, that’s so not right,” de Lesseps told host Cohen. “I did not slap him. We have a very passionate love affair going.”
“We never go to bed angry but when we do, when we wake up, we make up. That’s the best part,” the former countess added.
De Lesseps, 52, and D’Agostino, 50, wed in front of 250 of their closest family and friends on New Year’s Eve inside the luxurious Brazilian Court Hotel in Palm Beach, Florida. The pair got engaged in February 2016.
The couple’s whirlwind courtship has come under fire both on-screen and off amid allegations D’Agostino cheated on de Lesseps on the eve of their engagement party. Co-star Bethenny Frankel confronted de Lesseps about the allegations as the cameras rolled last year.
Nearly seven months after saying “I do,” sources told Page Six the couple is on the rocks.
“It isn’t exactly a match made in heaven,” an insider shared of the pair. “He hates the whole reality [TV] thing, he doesn’t want the attention or the scrutiny.”
Though some believe the relationship can be salvaged, sources say de Lesseps and D’Agostino rushed to the altar.
“There has been friction from the start. They got married so fast, they didn’t really know each other.”
