Bravo followers were never really fans of Lenny Hochstein. The plastic surgeon often prioritized his tennis game above his wife and kids, showed Lisa Hochstein little love, and seemed to be a pro regarding gaslighting. After 13 years together, the couple revealed they had split in May 2022. At the time, Lisa alleged that Lenny had been having an affair with Austrian model Katharina Mazepa, but he always denied the rumors.
Fans of Real Housewives of Miami confirmed the former couple’s breakup thanks to a now-deleted Instagram post. The social media post showed a photo of Katharina without her engagement ring kissing a blonde man whose identity is still unknown. The Austrian beauty wrote, “You jump, I jump. They say all we need in life might just be a little… push .” Even though Katharina told the news outlet that the kiss was unrelated, fans are left to question what is really going on.
Where it all began for Lenny Hochstein and Katharina Mazepa
The ink on the newspaper from the articles on his separation hadn’t even dried when Lenny announced he had started dating Katharina. The duo had already been flaunting their hookup way before the social media post. The pair were often seen out and about in Miami. The father of two shared that he and the model had been dating since May 2022. The timing seemed very rushed, which led many to think that Lenny had been having an affair. By July 30, the new “it” couple had announced their engagement.
Katharina posted a photo of the two standing on a cliff’s edge amid a stunning sunset. The 29-year-old wrote, “On top of an ancient pirate cave, overlooking the sunset over breathtaking Es Vedrá, he asked to steal me away forever.” Lisa was less than impressed, so she took to her Instagram Story to send a note, writing, “Congrats to my current husband and his mistress on their engagement.” Lenny technically popped the question when he was still very much a married man. But the former Miss Vienna and doctor seemed to be on Cloud 9, and fans wondered if this could be the real thing.
Lenny Hochstein releases breakup statement
Page Six was the first to report that Lenny and Katharina had called it quits. On September 4, Lenny released a statement, telling the outlet, “We recently ended our engagement. I have decided to move forward with my life.” The 58-year-old added, “I have nothing but love and admiration for Katharina and her family,” and shared he is “proud of her growth as a woman.” The father of two added he “will be forever grateful for the time they spent together.” The “environmental engineer” also released her own statement echoing the same sentiment.
Katharina said that after just one year of being engaged, they decided to end their relationship “amicably.” The model added, “While we both cherished our time together, we have decided to move forward independently.” She shared, “I have nothing but gratitude in my heart for the beautiful two years we spent together,” She added she will treasure the “beautiful memories in her heart forever.” I can’t help but think that only time will tell if the former couple can remain cordial. Or if the skeletons will come peeking out of their closet soon.
Did Katharina cheat?
One of Lenny’s closest friends is now accusing his former mistress fiancée of cheating on the Miami doctor. The irony isn’t lost on fans who aren’t forgetting just how quickly Lenny moved on from Lisa. Lenny’s close friend Nik Richie (IYKYK) is making sure to have the doc’s back. The publicist took to his Instagram Story to put Katharina on blast. Nik allegedly had receipts, proof, and a timeline hinting that the breakup was far from civil. Nik took the photo of Katharina with the mystery man and asked, “Who is this guy?”
In another post, he shared a text between the two asking, “Why are you intentionally trying to hurt Lenny like this? I thought you loved him. He was man of your dreams.” Nik came across as desperate as he tried his best to garner a reaction through multiple platforms. Nik then sent an Instagram message to stalk the model. He noted, “I just want to understand why you hurt Lenny after all he has done for you and your family? He took you in from the streets and made you a princess. How can you cheat like this the entire time like Russian spy?” Honestly, it’s hard to feel bad for a man like Lenny. And most fans are just thinking, “Karma is a b*tch.”
