Who is Olivier Sarkozy?
Olivier Sarkozy, the half-brother of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, is a managing director of The Carlyle Group's Global Financial Services unit. He gained attention after his marriage to US fashion designer Mary-Kate Olsen, co-founder of the luxury brand The Row. Their wedding took place in 2015. Additionally, Olivier Sarkozy is known for his role in the financial sector. In 2021, six years after tying the knot, Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy finalized their divorce settlement.
How Luann de Lesseps and Olivier Sarkozy know each other?
It's unclear as to how they crossed paths, but Sarkozy has remained notably single since splitting from Olsen in 2021 after six years of marriage. Meanwhile, de Lesseps has been enthusiastic about her encounters with an unnamed male model, as she discussed with entertainment reporter Derek Zagami.
“I actually had a date last night with a guy that’s 62 years old, but really attractive,” the reality star explained. “He continues to model to this day and does very well.”
On the other hand, recently, people talked a lot about de Lesseps and Joe Bradley possibly liking each other after they flirted on Watch What Happens Live in January. They were seen acting affectionately at NYC's Dream Hotel, but de Lesseps said they just had good chemistry.
