A decade ago, Nick Viall, “fresh off” his first appearance on Andi Dorman’s Bachelorette, met Luann de Lesseps, and he confirmed that the veteran The Real Housewives of New York City star flirted with him. At the time, his exposure to TV was limited, whereas she’d already become well-known on the Bravo show.
Nick Viall Recently Caught Up With Luann de Lesseps
In 2014, a 34-year-old met a well-known face from Bravo, and Luann was nearing 50 years old. While he wasn’t a famous name on reality TV, she certainly was. So, he probably felt a bit flattered that she took any notice of him at all. The news that she got a bit flirty with him arrived via his popular podcast, The Viall Files when he caught up with her on March 21.
Nick Viall never became romantically involved with the Bravo star from RHONY, but he eventually found love. Recently, he became a dad to fiancee Natalie Joy’s child, River Rose Viall. However, it was a long pull for the Bachelor Nation star to find love. After Andi Dorfman, he appeared in Kaitlyn Bristow’s Bachelorette before appearing on Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise. Then in 2016, he ended up as the Bachelor lead..
Luann de Lesseps Admits She Flirted With The Younger Man
On Thursday’s podcast, Luann De Lesseps talked about cabarets, RHONY, the Ultimate Girls Trip, and more. That came after a dive into Scheana Shay and John Mayer, and the Women Tell All. When the Bachelor Nation star spoke with The RHONY veteran, he explained how they met up in Chicago. At the time, he went for dinner with friends and Luann de Lesseps wanted to meet him.
As he didn’t feel like a celebrity yet, the Bachelorette alum naturally felt flattered. She asked Nick Viall, “Did I flirt heavily with you?” To which she added, “Probably.” Well, it seems that she was right becasue he recalled:
Yeah! You gave me a lot of attention…You wanted to meet me, I was fresh off the show. You were very kind…
Looking back now, it seems that the RHONY star treated him kindly because it boosted Nick Viall’s confidence. He added, “It was a moment for me. I definitely told everyone. It was probably my first [meet-up] with a celebrity.” And, because she took the time to speak with him, she also made him feel like a celeb. So, he said that he went off and “told” all his “friends” about it.
Of course, both of them are well-known these days, probably for Nick, beyond his wildest 2014 dreams.
What do you think about Luann de Lesseps taking the time to meet a new guy on the reality TV block? Do you think that was sweet of her? What about flirting with much younger Nick Viall? Probably, she flattered his ego, which might also be taken as being kind. Shout out in the comments below, and come back here for all your Bachelor Nation and Bravo news.
