LENOX HILL, NEW YORK: From 1998 through 2006, Sonja Morgan was notably married to John Adams Morgan. In 2016, she was linked to real estate broker and TV personality Ryan Serhant.
Sonja spends a lot of time on 'The Real Housewives of New York' talking about her history, but her fans are primarily interested in whom she's dated. Sonja's money, as well as the land and toys that came with it, are long gone, but a nice dating story? You could eat those forever. Sonja discussed a former claimed paramour in the 'RHONY' Season 9 opener. Did Sonja date Prince Albert of Monaco before joining 'RHONY'?
Did Prince Albert of Monaco date Sonja?
Let it be mentioned that many of Sonja's statements are untrue - remember when she said she was always partying with John F Kennedy Jr and Madonna? We couldn't discover any photographs of Sonja and Prince Albert together, but because it was before she married and there were no camera phones or digital cameras back then, we'll overlook it.
According to Sonja's website, she had "escapades" with Prince Albert, as well as "famous and influential men" including Richard Lewis, Eric Clapton, and John McEnroe. There is also a piece from the New York Post's Page Six column about Sonja and Prince Albert hanging out together on Sonja's website, but does this suggest they were an item? We're not sure, given that Page Six is the gossip column to end all gossip columns. What we do know is that Sonja has to publish a memoir about all of her supposed "escapades."
Sonja's dating history
Sonja's marriage to John, the great-grandson of JP Morgan, is well known to 'RHONY' fans, but he is not the first prominent guy the reality star has dated. Her dating history is, in fact, as remarkable as her Upper East Side apartment.
Since Harry Dubin is excellent pals (with benefits) with several of the 'RHONY' women, he might as well have his own apple on the program. Harry married Aviva Drescher and had relationships with Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimon, and Ramona Singer. Years ago, he had a fantastic first date with Sonja. In May 2020, Harry told The Daily Dish that he and Sonja met in their twenties in Washington, DC. He approached her when she was dancing one night and just obtained her first name. Harry ultimately located her, and they proceeded to a jazz bar together before returning to Sonja's apartment, where she washed Harry. He also stated that they have stayed very close and that he has "utmost respect for her" and loves "her to death."
Sonja let another famous ex "slip" on 'Watch What Happens Live,' this time discussing her romance with comedian Richard Lewis. She claimed she met Richard in New York's Cipriani restaurant. In a 2011 interview with the New York Post, the reality star named a few more successful guys she's dated, including artist Billy Idol. She described being out and about with journalist Charlie Rose in the same 2011 interview with the Post.
Sonja said on an April 2017 episode of 'WWHL' that she and Jack Nicholson dated back in the day. As Andy and fellow guest Michael Rapaport pressed Sonja for further information, she described the affair as "one big, sloppy mess." Sonja's website identified John McEnroe as a previous suitor. They dated following his divorce from Tatum O'Neal in 1994 and before her marriage to John in 1998, according to reports. In 2019, John verified the news on 'WWHL'.
On her official website, the reality TV personality revealed that she dated music great Eric Clapton before marrying her ex-husband, banker John. She also mentioned Eric on 'RHONY' Season 5 when connecting with Aviva. In 2013, she tweeted about the famous name-drop event, referring to it as one of her notorious "#sonjaisms."
When she married JP Morgan's grandson, John, in 1998, the future 'RHONY' star got her surname. She met the investor while working as a hostess at San Pietro, an Italian restaurant. The couple had one daughter, Quincy Adams Morgan, and were married for eight years until divorcing in 2006. Although she seldom discusses her marriage with John, she had a heated fight with pal Elyse Slaine on a 2020 episode of 'RHONY' and denied being an "accessory" to the businessman.
Sonja has dated another A-lister, Owen Wilson. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in April 2017, she described how they met. When asked if she might date other celebrities in the future, she stated that she is "not interested."
Sonja and her costar Luann, as well as her ex-husband Tom D'Agostino, are involved in a love triangle that never seems to die. Sonja stated on the show that she and Tom had been "friends with benefits for 10 years," which heightened tensions when de Luann and Tom announced their engagement. They were married for seven months before filing for divorce in August 2017.
Before his marriage to Emilia Bechrakis, the 'Million Dollar Listing New York' star, Ryan Serhant dated Sonja. She broke the news during a 'WWHL' episode. She went on to say that she met Ryan at a "humanity event." This is a match made in reality TV heaven. Sonja met 'Botched' star Dr Paul Nassif, who was formerly married to 'RHOBH' actress Adrienne Maloof. Unfortunately, it was only a one-time fling.
Catch Sonja in the premiere of 'Luann and Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake' on Sunday, on July 9 at 9 PM ET/PT.
