New York Mets legend Keith Hernandez once had a romantic fling with American socialite and model Luann de Lesseps. And in 2018, Hernandez sought to rekindle the flame with De Lesseps.

In 2018, Hernandez featured on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" and revealed that he and de Lesseps had a past romance.

“I met her in Manhattan somewhere I forget, and she was absolutely gorgeous,” he recalled. “I chased her like a hound.” He also added: “Is she [single]? Maybe I’ll run into her in Sag Harbor… It’s game on!”
