RHONY Star Dorinda Medley Opens Up About Splitting From Boyfriend John Mahdessian After Seven Years, Admits the Breakup Was "Terrible"

Dorinda Medley is opening up about her split from boyfriend John Mahdessian.

On Thursday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of New York City, during a walk in Central Park with her co-star, Sonja Morgan, Dorinda finally confirms and addresses the breakup.

After rumors surfaced last September that suggested Dorinda and John had hit a “rough patch” in their seven-year relationship, Sonja brought up the report as a mere rumor, although she quickly learned that their breakup was real after looking over a Page Six report with her co-star that suggested the couple was “taking a break.”

“I love John and I’ll always love John,” Dorinda admitted according to a preview shared by the Daily Mail on May 13.

As the two women sat together on a park bench, Dorinda revealed John was quite upset about their breakup.

“There is no big fight. But, I feel bad because, you know, John feels terrible because we love each other. I love him and I don’t know what will come of it,” she shared.

Also in the sneak peek, Dorinda opened up about the end of her relationship with John in a cast confessional, saying the split is “sad” and “terrible.”

“But, I also know that I have to do what’s best for me now and I realize that my expectation levels have grown,” she explained. “This is what I want now, this is what I need. And I need to find the right partner that’s willing to be engaged in that. And I don’t think that’s bad. I think that’s honesty.”

In Page Six’s September 2019 report, an insider claimed Dorinda and John were “working through some things” after hitting a “rough patch.”

The Real Housewives of New York City season 12 airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Bravo.
