the take
we think The Golden Life has a big opportunity here. it's actually good to show that you can still live a really fun, exciting life when you get older, and it's not what you picture at that age. they're still going out, they're still being wild, and Luann has situationships. honestly? goals.
this is the hosts' commentary and speculation for entertainment, not a statement of fact about anyone in it.
the backstory
The Golden Life is E!'s new reality series reuniting Real Housewives of New York City OGs Kelly Bensimon, Luann de Lesseps, Dorinda Medley, Sonja Morgan and Ramona Singer as New York snowbirds in Palm Beach, Florida. it premiered on E! on October 20, 2026.
Luann's boyfriend of three years, Michael Riemerschmid, is on the show too, according to Us Weekly. the situationships line is the hosts' joke about the cast's love lives, not a claim about anyone's relationship status.
