REAL Housewives of New York star Tinsley Mortimer’s new fiancé Scott Kluth had to work extra hard to win over his future mother-in-law, Dale Mercer.

A source said: “After all the drama they went through, she couldn’t stand him.”

So before Tinsley, 44, and Scott, 40, got engaged in November, the Chicago-based businessman had to shell out big bucks to get Dale’s blessing.

The source said he put her up at a hotel in Palm Beach, even though she lives there, and then “wined and dined” his way back into her favor.

Friend of Tinsley

Tinsley’s friend added: “He got [her] an expensive ring of her own. So she would like him again.”

When Scott proposed, he flew Dale to Chicago to be there when he popped the question.

According to the source, the wooing worked, and Dale is now on board with Tinsley’s new fiancé.

But now that the family drama’s over, Tinsley may have found some more trouble with her RHONY castmates.

Her co-stars are angry she hasn’t been filming lately, the source said, including during a trip to Mexico.

Tinsley’s costar Luann de Lesseps even went as far to say at a Countess and Friends cabaret show that Tinsley quit the reality show.

RHONY FUTURE

Tinsley did take time off to spend with Scott, according to a source, but she will be back in New York City to film soon because she’s contractually obligated.

That’s something Tinsley’s mom, Dale, will also be happy to hear.

Luann suggested she didn’t like the idea of Tinsley quitting the show.

She claimed: “I think she’s more upset that Tinsley’s not filming anymore now that she’s marrying Scott than Tinsley is.”

The New York Bravolebrity shared the happy news of her proposal after getting back together with her ex just a month prior.

Tinsley posted: “I always knew it was you!!!”

Tinsley was formerly married to Robert Livingston “Topper” Mortimer, 42, from 2002 to 2009.
