RHONY's Luann de Lesseps, 60, leaves fans skeptical over engagement rumors after she is seen with huge ring
Luann de Lesseps has left fans skeptical over rumors of an engagement after she was seen with a huge ring on her left hand in Sag Harbor, New York on Monday. Amid feverish speculation that the Real Housewives of New York City alum, 60, may be ready to walk down the aisle again, some Bravo fans took to social media to express their doubts. Several suggested it may have been all a ploy to plug her dating show, Love Hotel, with one joking she may have indeed met someone on the series. 'The marketing budget for the Love Hotel is wild,' one wrote. 'LOVE HOTEL GUY??' another asked with several laughing-crying emojis. One Instagram user joked de Lessops may have been attempting to one-up fellow RHONY alum Bethenny Frankel. 'Bethany is getting too much attention for her liking,' they mused, nodding to Frankel's recent runway walk for Sports Illustrated in Miami. At this time, The Daily Mail has not received a response to its request for comment. Regardless of whether she is engaged, the mother-of-two does appear to be in a relationship with a hunky mystery man. While in the Hamptons with her lover on Friday, the lovebirds were seen sharing a passionate kiss as they picked up their mail. Although his identify remains unknown, the good-looking and tall guy appeared smitten as he grabbed his arms around her. It is unknown who de Lesseps is dating at this time, or if she simply bought the ring for herself and it is not an engagement ring at all. In February, de Lesseps revealed to reporter Derek Zagami that she went on a date with a 62-year-old model. 'He continues to model to this day, does very well, is the salt-and-pepper gray,' de Lesseps said. Although his identify remains unknown, the good-looking and tall guy appeared smitten as he grabbed his arms around her It is unknown who de Lesseps is dating at this time, or if she simply bought the ring for herself and it is not an engagement ring at all The reality star described the man who she went out as a 'husband commercial type of guy, but very nice.' Before that date, the Berlin, Connecticut-born celebrity was linked with Southern Hospitality personality Bradley, 28. In January, an insider told Us Weekly that the pair appeared to be cozy while spending time with one another at New York City's Dream Hotel. The two were 'all over each other,' a source said, after a January 24 Watch What Happens Live taping. The next month, she addressed the night out with her fellow Bravolebrity while speaking to TMZ. 'We definitely had great chemistry and we went out to have drinks - what's wrong with that?' she told the outlet. Amid feverish speculation that the Real Housewives of New York City alum, 60, may be ready to walk down the aisle again, some Bravo fans took to social media to express their doubts de Lesseps then acknowledged that Bradley had 'a girlfriend' but would date him if they broke up. 'Hell yeah! Are you kidding me? Well, I'm a little bit of a cougar, let's put it that way,' she admitted. Bradley addressed his relationship with de Lesseps during the Southern Hospitality reunion episode for season two, saying that there was chemistry between them, but no physical intimacy. 'This is the truth - me and Luann got a drink, and we hit it off,' Bradley said. 'I did cross a line at the hotel, but I did not kiss her. We did not hook up.' Bradley conceded he 'probably was too flirtatious' with the Big Apple socialite. Previously, de Lesseps was married to Count Alexandre de Lesseps. During their marriage they welcomed their two children, Noel and Victoria. She was also briefly married to Tom D'Agostino Jr. between 2016 to 2017.

A Guide To Sag Harbor, the Hamptons Village Where You Can Spend a Classic American Summer
Traveling to Sag Harbor this summer? The Hamptons village is one that exudes an air of classic Americana, from its quaint Main Street lined with independently owned boutiques, to its sailboat-dotted harbors, to its wharf crowded with children eating ice cream cones with rainbow sprinkles after a long day on the boat or at Long Beach. A summer spent in Sag Harbor is likely spent the same today as it was 50 years ago. So for those lucky enough to visit the village—yes, the former whaling port isn't technically a town—here's a guide on the best restaurants, shops, and places to stay. Where to Stay Photo: Courtesy of Baron's Cove Baron's Cove—located, as the name suggests, right upon the water—embraces Sag Harbor's nautical history: navy blue is the interior color of choice, while anchors and ropes serve as accents. Many guest rooms feature a calming harbor view, and their grounds include a tennis court and a pool. It's also worth stopping by even if you aren't in need of lodging. The lounge is a cozy place where a fire roars on chilly nights; on warm ones, dine outside on their deck or sit on the Adirondack chairs on their wraparound porch. This stately Georgian hotel first opened in 1846, and, over the centuries, has become the grande dame of the town: at nights, the bar is packed with well-dressed patrons sipping martinis; during the day, townsfolk sit on the porch overlooking Main Street for lunch and people watching. There are only eight guest rooms—but arguably, there's no more authentic stay in town. Where to Eat There's no official ranking of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in the Hamptons—but if there was, Sag Harbor Tavern would arguably be at the top. From the same Michelin-starred hospitality group behind Red Hook Tavern and Saga, the cozy dockside bistro serves steaks, fish and chips, and the best burger out east. Right upon Sag Harbor Cove is The Beacon, a waterfront restaurant where you can drink rosé and eat lobster rigatoni as the sun sets on the sailboats that stretch out into the sea. It's a summertime staple—the restaurant is celebrating its 27th season—and, as a result, is full every night with couples, families, and celebratory singles who perch up at the bar. On Main Street sits Page, an all-day American bistro that serves lunch, brunch, and dinner. There's something on the menu for everyone here—dinner alone has a crowd-pleasing menu that includes caesar salads, vegetable risottos, seared tuna, and New York strips—making it an enjoyable meal made even more enjoyable by their light and airy dining room. People travel from towns far over for Sen, the sushi restaurant that's operated in the Hamptons for over thirty years. Come for their extensive list of speciality rolls; stay for the softshell crab steamed buns and chicken lemongrass dumplings. There's something simple yet elegant about the Southern Italian cuisine at Tutto il Giorni, where linguine with clams, mussels, shrimp, and penne with mozzarella are served in a quaint, rustic dining room. Although if you can—try to snag a table in their charming garden, which is adorned with greenery and hanging lanterns. For a more social night out, Le Bibloquet is the see-and-be-seen restaurant in Sag Harbor. The bar is usually lively, especially on the weekends, when a DJ spins from a booth. As for what to order? Cajun chicken, tuna tartare, and several rounds of drinks. There are plenty of ice cream shops in Sag Harbor. But Big Olaf Ice Cream, with its retro interiors and famous waffle cones, should satisfy your sweet tooth and your dreams of summer nostalgia. This Sag Harbor bakery, which also has two other locations in East Hampton, was a James Beard Semi Finalist Outstanding Bakery in 2025. With every bite of a different pastry—whether it's their monkey bread, their raisin snail, or their prosciutto Gruyère croissant—you understand why. They also have a number of breakfast and lunch offerings, like lobster rolls and chicken ban mi sandwiches. Where to Shop Photo: Anna Watt 'I just think our whole aesthetic just feels like the Hamptons,' TWP founder Trish Westcoat Pound says of her brand and their store in Sag Harbor, which is housed in white clapboard 18th-century home. 'It's the ease of the clothes, it's the comfort of the clothes—it's casual, but it's elevated. And I think that's what the Hamptons are.' Stop by to shop American sportswear summer staples like button-down linen shirts, light cashmere sweaters, and white jeans. Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle and wellness empire has a charming outpost in Sag Harbor that carries exactly what one m ight expect: think clean sunscreens, supplements, as well as airy linen clothing that works just as well on a boat in Sag Harbor as it does on the beaches of Malibu. A town is only as good as its book store—and luckily, the quaint Sag Harbor Books is excellent. The tiny independent shop, which is covered in ivy, sells new and used books as well as hosts a number of author talks. (Last summer, for example, saw a meet-and-greet with Goosebumps writer R.L. Stine.) Housed in an old barn is Sage and Madison, a charming store that sells gourmet pantry staples, locally made gift baskets, chocolates, teas, linens, and, well, a whole lot of other goods meant to liven a well-appointed home. It's also the perfect place to shop for a hostess gift—a box of Louis Sherry chocolates is a sure way to get invited back. See a summer blockbuster or an arthouse flick at Sag Harbor Cinema, the non-profit movie theater that's also a historic landmark. (Its neon Art Deco sign is one of the most recognizable sits out East.)

Scandi Meets Sag Harbor: Nordic Strong Opens Chic Hamptons Pop-Up Studio
Nordic Strong opens a pop up in Sag Harbor Nordic Strong With summer just one week away, the Hamptons will once again be the place where New Yorkers come to get a break from the city and enjoy everything the area has to offer from gorgeous beaches to restaurants and shopping. But one thing this coveted enclave doesn't have an abundance of is fitness studios. So, it's very likely that Nordic Strong's 2300 square foot pop in Sag Harbor will be a hotspot this season. Open from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the studio offers a European take on functional fitness. The Nordic Strong method centers around a patented machine that simulates the full-body, low-impact motion of cross-country skiing—engaging the core, legs, arms, and stabilizers without putting stress on the joints. The studio will offer three distinct class formats: Nordic Sculpt, Nordic Cardio, and the signature Nordic Strong. Founder Nicoline Roth Nordic Strong Here's a look inside the studio and discover how Nicoline Roth, the brand's founder and CEO, brought her vision to life—designing not just a workout studio, but a Scandinavian-inspired summer sanctuary. After testing the concept for several years in Copenhagen, Roth decided it was time to introduce Nordic Strong to the American market, with a flagship in New York City's Flatiron District this Fall. In the spirit of emulating her community-first approach in Europe, Roth found the perfect space to launch a popup where many New Yorkers could discover Nordic Strong in the interim. She tells me, 'When the chance came to take over a space in the heart of Sag Harbor, it was a no-brainer. The location is ideal, the space is a great size, and we even have access to a garden — giving us the flexibility to host events and activations both indoors and outdoors.' Scandi and minimalist takes the Hamptons Nordic Strong While this space is only temporary, it's the brand's first foray into a new market. So, Roth wanted to make sure the aesthetic of the studio was part of the overall experience. 'When there's a clear thread between the design, materials, lighting, and even the scent of a space, everything feels more intentional and elevated,' notes the founder. 'It's a bit like going to a beautiful hotel or restaurant—when the details are aligned, you feel it instantly. And if you're someone like me who trains often, the space you're in really does affect how you feel. But it's not just about aesthetics—it's also about the energy of the people working there. The ultimate experience is when you walk into a studio and immediately feel at home. A place you want to stay, not just train.' A welcoming area to be part of a community Nordic Strong Roth's vision was to create a Nordic summer oasis. 'Light-filled, cozy, and inviting,' she says. The founder worked with interior designer and architect Josefine Roth, who is actually her sister. 'It's such an honor to bring this brand to life with my family. Josi has an incredible instinct for creating spaces that feel warm and effortless. It's often the small, thoughtful details—the ones you might not consciously notice, but would feel their absence—that make all the difference. She has a gift for infusing each design with elements that create an unmistakable sense of calm and warmth.' Spacious and stylish Nordic Strong As a Nordic brand, Roth tells me it was important that the studio reflected a Scandinavian summer aesthetic—light, inviting, and effortlessly elegant. 'We wanted to create a space that felt warm and welcoming, where people genuinely want to spend time—not just workout.' However, she didn't want to go overboard on design and build out because the space is still just a pop-up. 'Because it's a temporary space, we were thoughtful about how to deliver an elevated feel without over-investing in permanent fixtures.' She also wanted it to connect to the permanent space in the city. 'To create a clear thread between this pop-up and our upcoming Flatiron flagship, we also chose to use some key design elements across both spaces—for example, the custom front desk designed for Flatiron is already in use in Sag Harbor. And just like any Nordic home, we brought in cozy details—curated coffee table books, ambient lighting, and natural textures—to create that signature hygge vibe, without going over the top.' She also partnered with Danish design brand Gubi, which was a natural fit. 'Not only does their aesthetic align beautifully with our brand, but it also allows us to furnish the space with timeless, high-quality pieces that bring a sense of understated luxury. All of our furniture in Sag Harbor is from Gubi—both indoor and outdoor.' From the modern flooring to the chairs with angled legs, plush sofas and wood lockers, it's a sleek combination of Scandi meets Sag. A studio on the water Nordic Strong One of the best features of the studio is the outdoor space on the water—a true Sag Harbor experience. Roth plans to use this spot for classes as well as community gatherings. 'We have access to an outdoor garden space where we plan to integrate programming and community gatherings all summer long. Think: a cold plunge party, run club launch point, or breathwork session after class. We're planning to embrace the fresh air and nature as much as possible, but the classes themselves will take place in the studio.'

Nikki's Not Dog Stand, A Vegan Eatery, Opens In Sag Harbor
Outside Nikki's Not Dog Stand in Sag Harbor, New York A new restaurant in Sag Harbor brings a unique style of beach eats to the Hamptons: Vegan. Nikki's Not Dog Stand, which opened in Sag Harbor Village this spring, offers a completely plant-based fast food menu of hot dogs, burgers, chili, milkshakes, and more. Located at 51 Division Street and open daily, the entire restaurant is void of animal products but not of creativity and flavor: The menu ranges from a classic New York Dog (topped with spicy mustard and sauerkraut) to a loaded New Mexico burger stacked with hatch chile peppers, serrano mayo, cheddar, and veggies. Not Dogs at Nikki's Not Dog Stand in Sag Harbor For founder Nikki Glick, her signature Not Dog Stand isn't exclusive to the Hamptons, but a slice of plant-based Americana iconic to this country's casual culinary culture. 'The Not Dog Stand could be anywhere. That is kind of the point. It is a very inclusive, universal space that would fit on a corner in Coney Island, or on a street in Tulsa, or on the highway in Florida,' Glick said. 'It was made to be in any place and for anyone. Our customers are extremely diverse. Sometimes people come in and enjoy a meal and don't even [know] Burgers at Nikki's Not Dog Stand in Sag Harbor The plant-based proteins (Not Dogs and Not Burger) on the menu come from Field Roast, a plant-based meat and cheese company out of Seattle. Vegan treats, including brownies and blondies are sourced from Greyston Bakery in Yonkers. Almost everything else is made in house including potato salad, chili, broccoli salad, soups, pies, white sweet potato fries, and coleslaw. Glick prides herself on knowing that 'a lot of people say they cannot tell the difference [in vegan products] For Glick, a Not Dog Stand is a connection to history and nostalgia, but modernized for contemporary culture. 'If science is telling us that we should chill out on beef to heal the planet and our own bodies too, it doesn't mean we have to give up on being American,' she says. 'We don't have to quit diners and fast food and rock and roll. These days, health and science often get framed as being part of a privileged wellness culture, while Americana gets more and more tangled up with primitive anti-science. That doesn't make sense, because America's foundation is actually innovation. Thomas Edison, Ben Franklin, Little Richard... We have always been about inventing and being on the cutting edge.' While New Yorkers may be familiar with plant-based fast food, Nikki's Not Dog Stand is one of few vegan-dedicated spaces on Long Island's South Fork. 'McDonald's was groundbreaking and new once too,' Glick adds. 'So, this isn't about rejecting the past, it's about building on it and updating the classics. Tradition only thrives when it adapts. The world is asking us to make changes, and we can do that while still cherishing baseball, jazz, fries and shakes. We make a killer malted.' Nikki's Not Dog Stand owner Nikki Glaser behind the counter Though the Hamptons is certainly an upscale vacation destination, Glaser wants her restaurant's mission to extend beyond the ritzy location. 'We want to make plant-based food feel accessible to everyone, regardless of background or lifestyle,' she says. 'The perception of veganism as exclusive and upscale is a barrier that we're trying to dissolve. Of course, operating in Sag Harbor does come with practical challenges. Rent is high, which makes it harder to keep prices down.' Lunch at Nikki's can go for under $20, and the restaurant donates extra ingredients to the local food bank. Ultimately, the small business has big goals, in terms of feeding locals and visitors and evolving the way people think about food, culture, and the past. 'Nostalgia is dangerous. The past was never as idyllic as we might sometimes like to pretend it was. Yet there are a lot of beautiful things in our history that it would be a shame to throw away in the name of so-called progress,' Glaser says. "To me, there is something uniquely current about listening to Billie Holiday while enjoying a plant based burger at a Formica counter. In an increasingly polarized world where we are told everything is either/or, left or right, white or black, this place is all about coming together."
