Luann’s marriage on the rocks

-

“REAL Housewife of New York City” Luann de Lesseps’ marriage to businessma­n Tom D’Agostino Jr. is struggling after just seven months, Page Six can exclusivel­y reveal.

We’re told the pair even got into a physical confrontat­ion last week, with de Lesseps slapping D’Agostino in a fancy Manhattan restaurant.

“Countess” Luann wed second husband D’Agostino in a glitzy New Year’s Eve ceremony in Palm Beach, Fla., to much media attention.

But we’re told that since the beginning of the marriage — which began in the shadow of D’Agostino’s infidelity — they have broken up and gotten back together a number of times.

“It isn’t exactly a match made in heaven,” said a source close to the couple. “He hates the whole reality [TV] thing. He doesn’t want the attention or the scrutiny.”

We’re told that the twosome has been fighting a lot and that D’Agostino — who founded a printing company — is getting sick and tired of the drama. “There has been friction from the start. They got married so fast, they didn’t really know each other.” Added the source, “She’s a drama queen.”

Sources say the couple are hopeful that they can work through their issues.

Her relationsh­ip with D’Agostino got off to a bumpy start after it was revealed — shortly after they began dating in late 2015 — that he had pre- viously dated “Real Housewives” co-stars Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan.

Many were surprised that de Lesseps went through with the wedding after co-star Bethenny Frankel showed de Lesseps photograph­s of D’Agostino kissing his ex-girlfriend at the Regency Hotel on the night before their February 2016 engagement party. She later told People, “It felt like someone ripped my heart out of my chest . . . [but] I’m not going to let a stupid kiss ruin the rest of my life . . . He screwed up. What he did was wrong. But this wasn’t premeditat­ed. It wasn’t an affair. It was a mistake.” Reps for de Lesseps and D’Agostino declined to comment.
