Fans of The Real Housewives of New York City who have watched from the beginning have seen some of the stars’ children go from young kids to grown adults.
One of those original stars was Luann de Lesseps.
When Luann, 61, first appeared on the show during its first season in 2008, fans met her children, Victoria de Lesseps and Noel de Lesseps.
Victoria, 31, and Noel, 27, are all grown up now.
In a conversation with Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Luann, who is currently starring on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th and is gearing up to star on the new show The Golden Life, gave some candid updates about her kids.
“Victoria is with the Count right now, and then she went to London to do a class at RADA [The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art],” Luann stated.

The Count – also known as Alexandre de Lesseps – is Luann’s ex-husband and the father of her children.
“And then she’s back in Switzerland, but coming back in August to be with me in the Hamptons, so I’m really happy about that,” she added.
As far as her son goes, Luann shared that Noel is “an artist living in Brooklyn.”
“And doing really well, you know, as a painter, and I’m actually gonna see him this weekend. He’s coming out for an art show,” she elaborated. “So the kids are great, and I’m between the Hamptons and New York, splitting my time. I’m mainly in the Hamptons now for the summer because it’s so gorgeous.”
Victoria is extremely active on Instagram, where she frequently updates her followers on her life. She is also a designer and visual artist.
Like his sister, Noel also frequently takes to Instagram to share photos of his artwork. His work has been displayed in galleries in New York City and Martha’s Vineyard.
Luann having positive updates on her children is nice to see, as things were not so great with them back in 2018.
At the time, Noel, Victoria, and the Count filed a lawsuit against her, claiming she has mismanaged their trust by violating a divorce deal they signed nearly a decade ago.
At the time, Page Six reported that during Luann and the Count’s 2009 divorce, Luann was awarded the couple’s Bridgehampton home under a deal that required her to create a trust that would award Noel and Victoria half of the home.
Luann allegedly failed to create the trust and sold the Bridgehampton home for $8 million in 2014 and then purchased a $3.1 million property in Sag Harbor.
At the time, the outlet reported Luann was trying to sell the home so that she could purchase a new house in upstate New York and had allegedly “threatened” to not allow Victoria and Noel to have their cut of the profit.
The Count and her kids had requested at the time that the sale of the Sag Harbor home be blocked and that the court declare she had breached the terms of her divorce.
Page Six reported in 2019 that the lawsuit had been dropped on April 24.
They noted that attorneys from both sides signed a “stipulation of discontinuance,” which ends any ongoing litigation.
It was unclear what deal Luann reached with her family, but she said things were resolved once she decided to stop the sale of her Sag Harbor house.
