Reality television star Luann de Lesseps was photographed engaging in public displays of affection with her boyfriend, Michael Riemerschmid, during a romantic beach getaway in Cancun, Mexico. The images, captured on Monday, show the couple enjoying a sunny day together, with de Lesseps, 60, clad in a bright yellow string bikini, smiling and embracing Riemerschmid as they frolicked in the turquoise waves.
The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum and her silver fox boyfriend appeared utterly smitten during their sunny outing. De Lesseps beamed while holding hands with Riemerschmid, and at one point, he hoisted her onto his hips as they gazed into each other’s eyes. After their swim, the couple walked hand-in-hand along the beach, both looking relaxed and happy, with de Lesseps going makeup-free and accessorizing only with delicate earrings for the occasion.
De Lesseps and Riemerschmid have been romantically linked since June 2025, when engagement rumors sparked after she was seen wearing a large ring on her left hand. However, sources clarified to Page Six that the ring was an aquamarine gift from a suitor on her Bravo dating show, “Love Hotel,” and not an engagement ring. Riemerschmid, a real estate salesperson based in the Hamptons with a background in Wall Street, has publicly identified as her boyfriend at social events, such as a Memorial Day weekend gathering where he supported her friend Dorinda Medley.
A countess by marriage to French aristocrat Count Alexandre de Lesseps, whom she married in 1993, Luann has been a prominent figure in reality television since her debut on RHONY. The couple welcomed two children, Victoria, now 31, and Noel, now 29, before parting ways in 2009. She subsequently married Tom D’Agostino Jr. on New Year’s Eve 2016, but they split less than a year later. She has also been linked to other personalities, including “Southern Hospitality” star Joe Bradley and Mary-Kate Olsen’s ex-husband, Olivier Sarkozy, but has been with Riemerschmid since last summer.
The Cancun getaway is part of de Lesseps’ recent travels, as she has been sharing snaps from Tulum on social media, showcasing her bikini body and promoting a healthy lifestyle. In a recent Instagram post, she captioned, “Tulum gave me exactly what I needed. Rest, good friends, great energy, and yoga.” She credits her Mediterranean diet and daily workouts for her toned physique, which fans have praised in comments calling her “goals” and noting she looks decades younger.
In addition to her personal life, de Lesseps is preparing for a busy year ahead with her “LU-Niverse Show.” She has announced performances in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, in February, as well as shows in South Carolina, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Florida throughout 2026. Her live performances blend glamour, laughter, and music, with her website promising an evening where “elegance meets fun, and the audience becomes part of the show.”
The story was reported by multiple outlets, including Page Six and the Daily Mail, within the last 24 hours, highlighting the couple’s PDA and providing context on their relationship. This media attention comes as de Lesseps continues to balance her public persona with her touring career, keeping fans intrigued by both her professional and personal endeavors. With her upcoming shows and ongoing relationship, de Lesseps remains a fixture in entertainment news.
