“It’s not from James – but he’s fine with it!” – Luann de Lesseps finally breaks silence on that massive ring, opens up about open relationship and long-distance love with Bravo’s Love Hotel star James - suong

Luann de Lesseps finally revealed the story behind her jaw-dropping ring while giving an update on her relationship with James after Bravo's Love Hotel.

During the June 15 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Luann addressed the massive sparkler on her ring finger.

"It is an aquamarine. It was a gift from one of my admirers," Luann said in the WWHL episode.

Andy Cohen and the audience were shocked to hear that the statement piece wasn't a gift from James. When Andy pointed out the ring was on her "wedding finger," Luann explained that was simply because it didn't fit on her other fingers.

Still, Luann assured the audience that she and James are together, and James is fine with her seeing other men as well.

"[James] said to me, 'You know [Luann], I live in Hawaii. I can't be there with you all the time. It is totally okay if you date, and when we see each other, we see each other, because I love you.'" Luann said.

Why Luann de Lesseps sparked engagement rumors

After photos of Luann wearing her eye-catching ring surfaced earlier this month, many fans assumed she had taken a big step with a mystery man.

When asked about the ring by Us Weekly, Luann was sure to give a nonchalant reply.

“I will say that I got a brand new ring, and I’m a very happy girl,” she told the outlet. “And that’s all I can say about that for now.”

James reflects on his relationship with Luann de Lesseps after Bravo's Love Hotel

Now we know that James has yet to get down on one knee, but marriage could still be in the couple's future. He recently told The Daily Dish that he truly fell for Luann as a friend and a lover during his time on the show.

“What happened with Luann and me is that I fell in love with her as a human being, and then I started to recognize some other feelings happening,” he said. “Not just like, ‘I love who you are as a human being, but I’m sort of, kind of falling in that other love thing, like, the romantic thing.’”

Although Luann rocks a ring from another gentleman, she remains smitten with James. In the WWHL episode, she proudly wore a key necklace he gifted her and opened up about their long-distance relationship.

Luann admitted that the trip to James' home in Hawaii is inconvenient, joking, "It is easier to get to Paris."

She told Andy that they usually meet up in Santa Monica or Los Angeles, and he recently took his fellow Bravo's Love Hotel castmates to see her cabaret show at The Wiltern theater. Luann said that when they're apart, James sends her "adorable" videos of him singing in the shower.

"I love James," Luann said. "He's such a great guy."
