The wedding is off! Lenny Hochstein and Katharina Mazepa have broken up for a second time. The on-again, off-again lovebirds called off their engagement last year before quickly reconciling and even re-doing their proposal. Now, the day after the premiere of Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Miami, Katharina has confirmed that they’ve gone their separate ways. This time, it seems like it might be for good.
Lenny Hochstein and fiancée Katharina Mazepa go through their second breakup
As a reminder, Katharina and Lenny’s romance started roughly two milliseconds after he split from RHOM star Lisa Hochstein. The pair got engaged before calling it quits a few months later. At the time, Lenny said he was ready to “move forward with his life.” Then, he took a step back, fell right back in love with Katharina, and popped the question a second time.
Since then, we’ve just assumed they were living happily ever after on Star Island. However, Katharina revealed to Page Six that they broke up months ago. She even gave him the ring back, so they’re like, really done.
“After a meaningful chapter together, I’ve made the decision to respectfully end our engagement and return the ring,” Katharina told the outlet.
Katharina, who is 29, insisted that Lenny, 58, didn’t tell her to return the ring back. She said she did it because it felt like the right thing to do. Katharina also made it sound like there wasn’t a huge blowup that ended things. She just had “a quiet realization that sometimes love transforms, and letting go with grace is the most dignified path forward.”
These days, Katharina is focused on her next chapter. She told the outlet that she didn’t have hard feelings and wished Lenny the best. Meanwhile, she’s hoping for her next era to be filled with “intention, independence, and presence.”
The Real Housewives of Miami airs on Bravo every Wednesday at 9/8c. It streams on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
