De Lesseps, who was previously married to Count Alexandre de Lesseps from 1993 to 2009, opened up about her decision to split from D’Agostino during a sit-down interview with Andy Cohen last month. “I don’t think he could give up his bachelor life to lead a married life the way I wanted to,” she explained. “I think that he really loved me. I really do. He still loves me. At this age, it’s really hard to change people … I expected more. I expected him to change.”

Meanwhile, D’Agostino spoke exclusively to Us, saying, “There was real love lost here. I’m saddened and I wish Luann only the best.”
