Luann de Lesseps was on a mission when she returned to St. Barths on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy. A mission to hookup.
During her Season 5 trip with her The Real Housewives of New York City co-stars, Luann met a swashbuckling pirate. And yes, the pirate sort of resembled Johnny Depp. Everyone believed that Luann and the pirate, Tomas Ribeiro, hooked up.
But Luann denied that anything happened. So, for this trip, Luann wanted some bedroom action. Watching her flirt with the staff, party guests, and men half her age was fascinating. Luann elevated flirting to an art form. And she certainly left St. Barths feeling satisfied with her trip.
Luann and Manu connected on RHONY Legacy before their finale hookup
Luann admitted to hooking up with someone during the Season 4 RHUGT finale. “I had a party in my room. Now that’s what I call a happy ending,” Luann stated. “I had no idea that I was going to hook up with Manu at the end of the night.” Manu was the sous chef at the villa. Luann’s Eggs a la Francaise must be magical.
“It was the cooking. It was the dancing disco party,” Luann told The Daily Dish. “You know when a man likes you? Right? So I was like, ‘OK, he’s hot … all right.'” Of course, viewers saw Manu, naked in all his splendor, in the final seconds of the episode. At the time, none of the cast had seen that episode.
Meanwhile, Sonja Morgan wasn’t shocked about Luann and Manu. “No surprise to me,” she said. On the other hand, Dorinda Medley was stunned. “I didn’t see that. I think it’s the guy from the kitchen, right?” Dorinda remarked. And Kristen Taekman didn’t recall meeting Manu.
“It’s gonna be so funny when you see it. Yeah, because she’s so tall and he’s so little,” Sonja stated. “Oh my god, but hot!” While Kristen still couldn’t place Manu, Sonja gave up one of Luann’s secrets.
Sonja explained, “He was in the kitchen. What, do you think [Luann] was in the kitchen, ‘cause of that air conditioning?! She was in there because of the guy!” But Luann couldn’t fool Kelly Bensimon.
“I knew something was up because when we were going to the airport, I’m like, ‘Why is Luann smiling like that?’ Luann is like beaming,” Kelly said. “I was like, ‘Something’s going on over there.'”
The cabaret star stated, “That was my little private, you know, farewell.” Mission accomplished, Luann!
