Luann de Lessepswill “never say never” when it comes to love.
TheReal Housewives of New York Citystar, 55, recently opened up to PEOPLE about her dating life ahead of the Bravo series’season 13 premiereon May 4.
“I’m single. So, I’m dating, but no one in particular right now,” she says, noting that her recent relationship with fitness trainer Garth Wakeford “started with a sizzle andendedwith a fizzle.”
As for getting married again, the Countess isn’t ruling anything out. (She has been divorced twice, from first husbandCount Alexandre de Lessepsin 2009 and thenTom D’Agostinoin 2017).
“I have been there, done that, but you never say never, right?” she says. “I am a hopeless romantic. I’ve been married twice and like they say, three times the charm. So, you never know.”
“I’m not opposed to it and I’m not looking for it,” de Lesseps continues. “I feel like when you’re not looking, that’s when things happen.”

The reality star, who has been onRHONYsince its start in 2008,also shares that she initially considered not returning to the show for the upcoming season.
“Especially with the pandemic and all that, I was considering not coming back,” she says. “Then I thought, ‘Well, I mean, why would I not come back? I can hang out with this group of fun girls.’ So, I always grapple with season after season because it’s a lot.”
“I’m so glad I did because it was really a bonding experience being in each of our homes a lot more and getting to know each other even better,” she adds of filming the season amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “I feel like I’m always surprised that I go in thinking, ‘What am I going to do this season?’ and it just kind of comes to me.”
