So what does Ramona Singer think about fellow Real Housewives of New York star LuAnn de Lesseps getting engaged to her ex?

In case you missed it, co-star Bethenny Frankel revealed on Andy Cohen's Sirius XM show Radio Andy Monday that Singer used to actually date Thomas D'Agostino Jr., and the reality star confirmed that fun fact to E! News, telling us exclusively, "Yes, I did date him but we just didn't have any chemistry. I do think he's a very nice guy."

But there doesn't seem to be any bad blood about her former beau finding love with her fellow Bravolebrity. In fact, she thinks it's kinda funny.

Singer, who split from husband over 20 years Mario Singer in January 2014, adds, "Now that I'm single again, I'm realizing just how small the dating pool is and how funny it is that Luann and I overlapped."

Ramona is a little surprised at how fast they're relationship is going, though, telling E! News, "In December, Luann told me she met the man she was going to marry two weeks ago. Little did I know it was Tom! I myself would never get engaged so quickly—but what do I know about marriage the second time around?"

Regardless, the reality star can't deny how happy LuAnn has been since Tom entered her life. "She seems incredibly happy," Singer tells us. "You can see it all over her face." 

The two lovebirds made it official over the weekend ahead of their romantic vacation to Colorado. "It happened this past weekend in New York at his house," a source revealed to us of their engagement. "They're leaving for Vail today for a week's vacation to celebrate. They're both over the moon."

The proposal comes only a few days after the Real Housewives of New York star, 50, appeared on The FABLife, where she dished that she was feeling very confident that her relationship would eventually make its way to the altar. "I'm so excited. I found love the second time around. I'm so lucky. His name is Tom. He's wonderful," she began.

"He's really just my soul mate. I was married for 16 years the first time, and very lucky and had my two beautiful children and I never thought it would happen to me again, but I found love again, and I'm a hopeless romantic. So, it looks like we're gonna get married."
