Dodd and Leventhal met through Real Housewives of New York City star Ramona Singer at a party in the Hamptons over the summer. The couple were first linked in August.

"They've known one another for a short time but it's been a very deep connection," a source previously told People. "They are in love. It's special. They have great chemistry."

Dodd split from husband Michael J. Dodd in September 2017 after 11 years of marriage. Leventhal also split from his second wife, Beth Shak, in 2017, and is parent to two daughters, Veronica and Shoshana, with his first wife, Penny Daniels.
