Celebrity News and Celebrity Gossip
Shocking news on the celebrity news circuit: According to the New York Post, The Real Housewives of New York City star Countess Luann de Lesseps has split from her husband, Count de Lesseps. According to this piece of celebrity news, they decided to separate after she “got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her.”
“Luann was blindsided. She was just devastated,” the Post quoted a pal as saying. “They have basically lived apart for many years — he lives in Europe and comes and goes as he pleases, but she never thought this would happen.” The pair have two children and just celebrated their 16th anniversary on March 16.
“It has been very rough for her and the children Victoria and Noel, but she’s taking the high road and will remain friends with him,” added the source on the piece of celebrity gossip. “She has no intention of making it bitter or becoming angry. She’s just trying to come to terms with [the separation and impending divorce]. She feels this is the ultimate test for her to handle this with dignity and grace.”
Luann is not the first Real Housewives of New York star to enter the celebrity gossip world. Newcomer to the show, Kelly Bensimon was the first to have a piece of celebrity gossip spread after her and a former boyfriend got into an altercation. Another NY housewives star, Alex McCord also made celebrity news headlines when she lost her job as a graphic design artist for a prestigious firm.
