Who is ‘Real Housewives of Rhode Island’ star Kelsey Swanson’s second boyfriend?

Kelsey Swanson is laying it all out there. In tonight’s episode of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Swanson sits down with the other man in her life, who, unlike her boyfriend, is not afraid to put himself in front of the cameras.

Swanson’s unconventional relationship has stirred up a lot of interest in the rookie reality star. She shared in the first episodes that her much older, unnamed boyfriend of 10 years allows her to live a life of leisure in his New England mansion, even when he is with his other girlfriend in Miami for the first part of the year. Unfortunately for Swanson, the arrangement no longer seems to be serving her as she enters her 30s. While she wants marriage and kids, she said her boyfriend “will never budge” on the latter as he already has children of his own from a previous marriage. So, what else is she to do than find someone who will give her what she wants?

According to Swanson, she and her boyfriend have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” relationship. If he can have a second girlfriend in Miami, then she can have a Rhode Island side piece to keep her company when he’s gone. In tonight’s episode of RHORI, we get to meet said side piece. And honestly? We’re kind of rooting for him!

So, who is Swanson’s other boyfriend? Keep reading for everything you need to know!

Who is Kelsey Swanson’s other boyfriend? Meet Bill L’Europa:

In Episode 3 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, we are introduced to Kelsey Swanson’s other man, Bill L’Europa. Swanson and L’Europa have known each other since the seventh grade, making him an age-appropriate match for her, who also wants to have kids “eventually.” We don’t know much else about L’Europa, other than the fact that his mom used to pack Swanson’s lunch in high school, and Swanson’s mom refers to him as her “future son-in-law.” Oh, and he drinks his coffee black. While they may seem like a perfect match, Swanson says she’s keeping L’Europa at an “arm’s length” until she can figure out where her other relationship is going. Swanson says that while L’Europa is “very successful,” he is not in the position to offer her the same job-free life that her other boyfriend can give to her. “I don’t have a problem working. I can do it,” she says in her confessional. “It’s just, do I want to? No.”

What are Bill L’Europa’s legal issues?

If you do a quick Google search on Bill L’Europa, a whole slew of legal issues involving a “William L’Europa” will pop up. Just this January, William L’Europa from Cranston, RI, who was previously convicted for federal tax charges on two separate occasions, was sentenced to two years of probation and ordered to pay over $1.3 million in restitution to the IRS for his most recent tax evasion case. It should be noted that this man is NOT Swanson’s second boyfriend. While they share the same name and hometown, the man listed in the court docs is 60 years old, whereas Swanson’s side piece is much closer in age to her. However, the William L’Europa with the legal issues is, seemingly, the father of Swanson’s other man, according to this Facebook post.

Who is Kelsey Swanson’s rich boyfriend?

Swanson’s main boyfriend is allegedly John Caprio, the 50-something-year-old son of the late Judge Frank Caprio, whose courtroom clips went viral before he passed away last summer. Swanson and John have been dating for over 10 years, and he allows her to live in his 16,000 square-foot mansion job-free — even when he’s in Miami with his other girlfriend.
