The Truth About Carole Radziwill And George Clooney's Relationship

Real Housewives of New York City fans are quite familiar with Carole Radziwill's dating life. During her time on the series, she dated chef Adam Kenworthy, who also happened to be LuAnn de Lesseps' niece's ex-boyfriend, which initially caused a ton of drama. Before joining the show, Carole was married to ABC News producer Anthony Radziwill, the only son of Prince Stanislas Radziwill and Lee Bouvier, the younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. He died on August 10, 1999, at age 40, after a five-year battle with cancer, per The Los Angeles Times.

During an August 2012 episode of Real Housewives of New York City, fellow RHONY housewife Sonja Morgan dropped a little Carole-related relationship history bomb. Carole was rocking a bikini during an outing in St. Barth's and Sonja commented, per HuffPost, "Look at the a** on Carole ... No wonder Clooney did her for a year." Carole later tweeted, "I don't kiss and tell, but if I did tell I'd say Clooney was a very good kisser ... But I'm not saying......just saying." So did she confirm the kiss or not? Well, it took a few seasons for her to clarify that tweet, but Carole Radziwll finally dished on George Clooney. Keep scrolling for all the juicy details.

Fast forward five years to 2017, when Carole Radziwill spilled a few more details about her relationship with George Clooney. During a game of Truth or Dare on the July 5, 2017 episode of Real Housewives of New York City, the women asked Carole how she would rate Clooney in bed. "He's definitely a nine," she revealed (per People), rating him on a scale of one to 10. "It was a long time ago!"

In a roundabout way, Carole also revealed that the two probably dated sometime in 2000. She referred to the timeframe as "post-Dr. Doug Ross, pre-Danny Ocean." Clooney left ER, where he played Doug Ross, in 1999, and he played Danny Ocean in the 2001 movie Ocean's Eleven. 

This is not the first time Carole has spoken out about Clooney since their relationship. In an interview with People, she recalled their time together and had nothing but great things to say. "He's a really great guy, really amazing guy," she said about her ex. Carole also had nothing but good things to say about Clooney's wife Amal, stating, "[She] seems like an amazing woman. I think it's fantastic, and when anyone falls in love it's a good thing for everybody." However, Clooney is not the only actor Carole has dated.

Carole Radziwill dated Aerosmith member Russ Irwin for two years, before splitting in late 2002. "Russ and I have decided to call it quits," Radziwill told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. Irwin appeared in several episodes of RHONY and the pair even recorded a song together, "Manhattan." Of course, the couple dated prior to Carole's relationship with Adam Kenworthy.

Carole dated one other famous actor, too — Harry Potter star Ralph Fiennes. In an interview with Us Weekly, the former reality star revealed, "It was long ago and far away ... over a summer I was living in London." Apparently, Fiennes inspired a passage in her novel The Widow's Guide to Sex & Dating! "Our relationship was not the basis for a storyline in my novel," she corrected. "But like most fiction, stories are a pinch of the writer's experience and a part their imagination." The reality star said the last time she saw Fiennes was when they met up in a bookstore after she discovered he was in town. She left a copy of a note the novelist Samuel Beckett had once written to a friend at Fiennes' hotel — and he understood the reference and knew exactly where to meet for their rendezvous.

"That note and subsequent meeting at the bookstore was loosely detailed toward the end of the book," Radziwill shared. "I'm afraid that is all I will say. Wink." Now that is a story which might make even George Clooney jealous.
