A year before the duo went their separate ways — romantically speaking — Luann was accused of being unfaithful after she reportedly hooked up with a Johnny Depp lookalike. The author wants fans to know that she "never f--ked the pirate," claiming the reason she and Jacques broke up was much less salacious.

"We adore each other, but we want different things. Jacques wants to have a family," Luann told Life & Style in 2013. "We were just hoping that it would happen in all these years we've been together. We talked about adoption, but I've spent 18 years raising kids — I want to do other things."

The former countess went on to marry Smart Source CEO Tom D’Agostino Jr. in 2016, but the pair filed for divorce just seven months later. Page Six reported at the time that Jacques’ close connection with Luann bothered her new husband. Both parties denied that their friendship factored in to the split.

"I actually really like Tom, he’s a nice guy," Jacques told the publication. "I regret it didn’t work between them."
