Constantine Maroulis' Phone 'blew Up' After Real Housewives Of New York Revelation

Constantine Maroulis' phone ''started blowing up'' after it emerged he'd dated multiple cast members of 'The Real Housewives of New York'.

The 44-year-old star's dating past came to light during a recent episode of the reality TV series, and he's now admitted to receiving a ''million calls'' after the bombshell.

Constantine - who dated the likes of Luann de Lesseps, Ramona and Tinsley Mortimer - told 'Behind The Velvet Rope With David Yontef': ''Of course my phone started blowing up. I'm like, 'What the f***?' And I was like, what?

''And yeah. So I didn't really know what was happening and sure enough ... I guess I got a million calls about it. A couple of people sent me the video and I was like, 'Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah, they're definitely talking about me!'''

Constantine opened up about his relationship with Tinsley and suggested that it was a genuine romance.

The former 'American Idol' star said: ''Tinsley and I, like, legitimately went out many years ago during the height of 'Rock of Ages'. I know a lot of people think it was, like, b****** for her TV show but we genuinely really care for each other and liked each other.

''I just think there was a lot going on for both of us. And I got to know her mom, got to know her sister very well - Dabney - and you know, I love her mom and they've supported me over the years on so many projects.''

The Broadway star also explained that he and Luann ''enjoyed each other's company''.

He said: ''We enjoyed each other's company, you know, we would, if we were lucky to hang out here and there we would always have a good time together.''
