Watch: ‘The Golden Life’ Star Sonja Morgan Reacts to Misconception She Dates Her Costars’ Exes
Sonja Morgan isn’t interested in sloppy seconds.
In fact, after sharing multiple suitors with several of her former RHONY cast members, The Golden Life star now has a firm rule against dating her friends’ exes.
“I’ve had a few dead bodies I left in my wake that got picked up by my girlfriends,” Sonja told E! News’ The Rundown‘s Erin Lim Rhodes during an exclusive joint interview with her E! costars Ramona Singer and Kelly Bensimon. “Just saying.”
And while the 62-year-old is okay sharing her past flings—looking at you, Harry Dubin and Tom D’Agostino—she definitely isn’t the one pursuing romances with guys who have slept with her BFFs.
“You know how many guys come up to me and say, ‘Oh, I went on a date with Kelly,’ and then right away I’m like, ‘No!'” Sonja continued. “They think it’s an opening line that I’m going to be turned on.”
Quite the opposite, in fact.
“No, next,” she added. “I don’t go out with my girlfriends’ guys.”
Of course, being the self-proclaimed “straw that stirs the drink,” a reputation of flirtatiousness just comes with the territory.
“I remember when we were filming, Ramona’s husband was very hot, right?” Sonja—mom to daughter Quincy, 26, with late ex-husband John Adams Morgan—recounted of her early Bravo TV days. “So, they would always be like, ‘I think Sonja wants Mario [Singer]. I think Sonja has a thing going on with Mario.’ Hell no! I would never.”

Flash forward a decade: Sonja, Ramona, Kelly, Dorinda Medley and Luann de Lesseps are reunited once again, this time in sunny Palm Beach, Fla., for new adventures in a new chapter of their lives. While, yes, the group of reality TV OGs had their fair share of fights while relocating down south, they have zero regrets from filming.
“We don’t really live like that,” Dorinda explained to E! in her joint interview with Luann, “We leave it on the field. I am generally not a person who sits around and regrets. I can’t do anything about it. Once something is in its past, I think the only thing you can do if you don’t like it is change yourself or apologize. But the past is the past.”

And that’s a sentiment echoed by the costars, with Ramona noting, “I think once you do reality TV, you put it out there, it’s there and you just keep it moving, girl.”
Kelly, meanwhile, has become much more care-free in her golden years than she was in her Scary Island days.
“I just love skinny-dipping now. It’s my thing,” the former model confessed to Erin. “I was just living life. I was like, ‘I have got to go swimming. I am ready to take everything off, unleash!'”
See the ladies’ new adventures unfold when The Golden Life premieres Tuesday, Oct. 20, at 10 p.m. on E!. And keep reading to learn more about the debut season.
