He’s moved on — again! Lenny Hochstein, the ex-husband of Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein, just hard-launched another new romance. This time, it’s with a woman named Alena Kovalenko. She’s Russian, she’s a model, and she’s already met the kids.
RHOM’s Lenny Hochstein introduces Alena Kovalenko
Lenny spoke with Us Weekly about his new romance with Alena, who happens to be 34 years younger than the 59-year-old plastic surgeon. Do the math, and yes, he’s dating a 25-year-old.
According to Lenny, Alena lives in Bali, and there was a “mutual attraction” pretty quickly. It’s still new, but it sounds like things are heating up.
“We were introduced through a mutual friend,” Lenny explained. “We agreed to meet in Miami and hit it off.”
While Lenny said it felt “too early” to make any decisions about their future, he’s already taken a major step in their romance by introducing Alena to his children. He and Lisa share two kids, 10-year-old Logan and 5-year-old Ella Marie.
“The kids have met her, and they absolutely love her,” Lenny said, noting that they’ve been spending time together and “doing the things that normal couples do.”
Lenny’s latest romance comes just a month after his ex, Katherina Mazepa, confirmed that she and Lenny had ended their engagement for a second time. She said they were done for good, and she returned the ring to him. It’s probably only a matter of time before it ends up on Alena’s finger; however, Lenny reiterated to the outlet that he’s trying to take things slowly.
“I’ll see where this leads and open to seeing where this path may take me,” he teased.
The Real Housewives of Miami airs on Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
