He might as well have his own apple on the show because Dubin is great friends (with benefits) with many of the Real Housewives of New York City women. Dubin was married to Aviva Drescher and was involved with Luann de Lesseps, Kelly Bensimon and Ramona Singer. He also had a memorable first date with Morgan years ago.

Dubin told The Daily Dish in May 2020 that he and Morgan met in their 20s in Washington, D.C. He approached her one night while she was dancing and only got her first name.

"She left, and I scoured the city looking for her hotel room. I only knew her name ... Sonja," he said.

Dubin eventually found her, and they went out together to a jazz bar before coming back to Morgan's room, where she bathed Dubin.

"It was great. To this day, I tell her that," Dubin told the outlet. He also said they have remained very close since and that he has the "utmost respect for her" and loves "her to death."

In the same 2011 interview with the Post, she mentioned she had been out and about with journalist Charlie Rose.

"Dating is a strong word for some people. I mean, if you see me out to dinner with Charlie Rose, it doesn't mean I'm hitting that, you know?" she clarified. "But I've been known to date Charlie, luckily. Along with the other hundreds of girls."

On an April 2017 episode of WWHL, Morgan shared that she and Nicholson hooked up back in the day, playfully adding, "Who hasn't?"

As Cohen and fellow guest on the show Michael Rapaport continued to press Morgan for more details, she characterized the fling as "one big sloppy mess."

McEnroe was mentioned on Morgan's website as a past suitor. They reportedly dated after his divorce from Tatum O'Neal in 1994 and before her marriage to John Adams in 1998. McEnroe confirmed the news while on WWHL in 2019.

"Yes, I do. I do recall. I believe that did happen," the tennis legend said on the show. "But I'd rather not discuss it right now because my wife [Patty Smyth] and my daughter are here. It's okay with my daughter, but my wife, I'm not so sure."

In addition to RHONY costar de Lesseps becoming a countess by marriage and former costar Carole Radziwill becoming a princess by marriage, Morgan had her shot in becoming royalty when she claimed to have dated Prince Albert.

According to Bravo's Daily Dish, on season 9, she told former costar Bethenny Frankel, "I used to wear this with Prince Albert when we were dating in Monaco. Can you believe this? It has a skirt. I must have left the skirt at Albert's."

Don't believe her? She included the fun fact on her website, too.

On the reality TV star's official website, she mentioned she dated the rock legend before she settled down with her ex-husband, banker John Adams.

She also talked about Clapton on season 5 of RHONY while bonding with Drescher. On a pedicure date, Morgan recognized Drescher's bag and said, "I know that bag ... Eric Clapton used to bring it to lunch, then we'd go play pool."

Morgan tweeted about the famous name-drop moment in 2013, noting it as one of her infamous "#sonjaisms."

John Adams Morgan

In 1998, the future RHONY star gained her surname when marrying J.P. Morgan's grandson, John Adams. She met the financier while working as a hostess at the Italian restaurant San Pietro.

Together, the couple had one daughter, Quincy Adams Morgan, and remained married for eight years until they divorced in 2006.

"My breakup was pretty boring," she said in a 2019 Daily Beast interview. "We were in love, and then we broke up. There was no drama."

Although she doesn't typically talk about her marriage with John Adams, on a 2020 episode of RHONY, she had a fiery debate with friend Elyse Slaine and denied being an "accessory" to the tycoon: "I was a partner with my husband. A partner!"

The Zoolander star is another A-lister Morgan dated. She explained how they met while speaking to Entertainment Tonight in April 2017.

"Tinsley [Mortimer] said her celebrity crush was Owen Wilson, and I thought she said she dated him," Morgan told ET at the time. "I go, 'Oh! I dated him, too!' Out here [in Los Angeles]. Well, I met him in New York through some art friends, and then I also saw him while I was out here. Long time ago, a while ago."

When asked if she'd be open to dating other celebrities in the future, the star said she's "not interested."

"I like smart people. Very smart people. Interesting dialogue, yeah," she added. "I like to talk a lot."

Tom D'Agostino

The Real Housewives of New York City - Season 9

The love triangle that never seems to get buried in the past involves Morgan and her costar de Lesseps and de Lesseps' ex-husband Tom D'Agostino.

Morgan said on the show that she and D'Agostino had been "friends with benefits for 10 years," which made things a bit tense when de Lesseps and D'Agostino announced they were getting married. (The two were married for seven months before divorcing in August 2017.)

D'Agostino denied Morgan's remarks, telling PEOPLE in 2016, "The funny part is, although I've known her for years, we got together once, but she's on this kick that it was more than that."

Morgan stood by her claims and told PEOPLE at the time, "We were fun buddies — adults that had a nice understanding."

"He's going to minimize it as much as possible, as all men do. They never tell the truth, guys, they never do," she added.

Before his marriage to Emilia Bechrakis, the Million Dollar Listing New York star dated Morgan. She revealed the news on an episode of WWHL.

"I dated Ryan before he got married [in 2016]," Morgan said.

She added that her hookup with Serhant occurred at a "humanity event."

"So I felt I needed to kiss him to be a humane person," she joked.
