Luann de Lesseps and soon-to-be ex husband Tom D’Agostino were only married for seven months until the Real Housewives of New York City star announced last week that they decided to call it quits. Now, a source close to Luann reveals that despite their relationship not working out, Luann still loves Tom — and the feeling is mutual.
“They don’t want to drag each other under the mud,” the source told PEOPLE, adding that Luann and Tom had last spoken on Wednesday. “They both love each other. They care about each other. They just could not be married.”
Luann announced via Twitter on Thursday that she and Tom are calling it quits. “It’s with great sadness that Tom & I agreed to divorce,” the former countess wrote. “We care for each other very much, hope you respect our privacy during this sad time!”
Hours after sending the tweet, the Bravo reality star was spotted out in Sag Harbor, New York without her wedding ring.
The Luann insider says she’s spending time with her kids in the Hamptons before jetting off to Europe on vacation.
Despite various rumors surrounding Tom's playboy reputation and cheating allegations, the source revealed why Luann still decided to tie the knot with Tom.
“She went ahead with the wedding because she was very much in love and wanted to make the marriage work. Even through what she heard or what was printed, she was trying to make it work,” the source told the publication.
She also “doesn’t feel foolish” about how short her marriage to Tom lasted, according to the source.
“They had a real quick love affair and she wants to be married,” the source said. “She was married for a very long time and had two children. She comes from a large family in Connecticut and all her brothers and sisters are married. She’s a person who likes being with one person and married – she doesn’t want to be single.”
The insider explained the couple had a prenup, and that the divorce will be quick.
