Luann de Lessepsis seeing someone new.
TheReal Housewives of New York Citystar is dating her agent, Richard Super, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.
“She’s smitten but taking it slowly after her recent divorce,” a friend close to the pair, who was recently spotted at Nobu in L.A., tells PEOPLE about de Lesseps, 53.
“He was getting divorced when she met him. He filed for divorce before they were introduced,” the source says about Super, who met de Lesseps through a mutual friend.
Super — who joined The Gersh Agency in the comedy department in January 2017,according toDeadline — has “been navigating lots of new opportunities” for de Lesseps, who has “done 16 cabaret shows all over the country with more requests flooding in,” the source explains.
“It’s all very new, but like most things with Luann, it’s been all-consuming. They only started working together a few months ago. He was reluctant to sign her at first because ofThe Housewives, but her work ethic surprised him in many ways and sealed the deal. They’ve been a great team since,” a second source tells PEOPLE.
“Their chemistry was instant. He’s very aggressive and she goes toe-to-toe with him. You can tell they’re having a lot of fun together,” says the second source, who adds that, “they’re very hot and heavy together.”
The second source shares, “Luann’s happy to have something lighthearted in her life after all the drama of the past year. And his marriage was over before they met, so it’s been good for him to move on.”
De Lesseps’ new relationship comes nearly a year after her divorce fromex-husband Tom D’Agostino Jr.was finalized.
“It’s with great sadness that Tom & I agreed to divorce,” she tweeted. “We care for each other very much, hope you respect our privacy during this sad time!”
De Lesseps latertold PEOPLEthat “this has been one of the toughest times of my life.”
