Philanthropy
Ramona donates a portion of her proceeds from her wine business to help support shelters for domestic violence victims. She knows firsthand how domestic violence tears families apart. As a child, she saw her mother being abused. At that time, there were no safe houses for battered wives and children. Ramona is involved in several other charity programs, especially charities related to children and their health, education, and welfare. She became involved in the charity Africa Foundation and Beyond, which helps build schools for impoverished children in Africa.
Personal Life
Ramona resides on the Upper East Side of Manhattan but is frequently spotted playing tennis in the Hamptons on weekends. Singer announced she had been diagnosed with Lyme disease in March 2020. Her sister was previously diagnosed with the disease in 2018.
Ramona married Mario Singer in 1992. They met when the two frequented the same gym. While dining at a restaurant with her sister, Mario approached her, and from there, the two were inseparable. Their marriage was happy for many years but hit a bit of a rough patch in recent years. Mario was rumored to be having an affair with New York City socialite Kasey Dexter, and for a time, the couple was separated. Ramona ultimately filed for divorce, and she is now experiencing a new way of life after marriage. Mario and Ramona were married from 1992 until their divorce in 2015. Ramona has a teenage daughter from her previous marriage, Avery. At one time, Avery was a celebrity correspondent for Teen.com.
After Ramona's divorce from Mario, her dating life was frequently featured on "The Real Housewives of New York City." In 2017, she was spotted at a charity event with Steven Gerber. However, they broke it off after just one month of dating. Before Gerber, she dated Tom D'Agostino in 2015.
