Wife slams husband, 57, after he gets engaged to 27yo model while still married
A reality star has slammed her estranged husband after he got engaged to a 27-year-old bikini model despite being still married.
The “boob god” of Miami is a newly engaged man — although he’s technically still married to his estranged wife.
Plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein, 57, whose fame stems from his appearances on the Real Housewives of Miami, proposed to bikini model Katharina Mazepa on the weekend.
Katharina, 27, shared pictures from their romantic engagement on Instagram.
“On top of an ancient pirate cave, overlooking the sunset over breathtaking Es Vedrá, he asked to steal me away forever️,” the 27-year-old captioned the post, which included several snaps of the moment he popped the question.
In a statement to Page Six, Louisa Warwick, Mazepa’s manager at The Inferno Agency, gushed over the proposal.
“We are delighted to announce the engagement of a truly extraordinary couple, Katharina and Lenny,” she told us.
“Their love story has blossomed into a beautiful union, filled with passion, understanding and unwavering commitment.
“As they embark on this journey together, we extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for their future filled with love, light & happiness.”
But the happy moment was immediately shrouded in controversy when Lenny’s wife, Lisa, offered her sarcastic congratulations.
“Congrats to my current husband and his mistress on their engagement,” Lisa wrote via her Instagram Story.
It got uglier when Lenny’s mum, Marina, took a jab at Lisa while congratulating her son on his new engagement.
“I will be very happy that this time you are getting a woman who loves and respects you. You certainly did not have that in your previous marriage. Good luck congratulations,” Lisa’s mother-in-law shadily wrote in the comments section of Lenny’s post.
Lisa quickly clapped back on her Instagram Story, writing, “What a wonderful mother in law and grandmother. How disgusting.”
Fans are split over the move. Some flooded the model’s comments, sending their congratulations to the happy couple.
“Congratulations beautiful!!!!” wrote one person, while another added, “Congratulations. Everyone deserves to be happy️.”
Other fans pointed out the fact that the engagement came fast, as they’ve only been dating for a year and Lenny, 57, filed for divorce from Lisa, 41, in May 2022.
“Happy for you, but your (sic) not even divorced yet,” wrote one person.
“Wow ! That was quick …,” added another.
“Fresh out of one marriage and already in another? For God sake,” commented a third critic.
Since Lenny and Lisa split, the estranged couple has been involved in a messy divorce battle.
The “Real Housewives of Miami” star alleged her now-ex-husband cheated on her with Mazepa, a claim he vehemently denied.
Lisa also claimed that the doctor wouldn’t provide her with adequate financial support to take care of their daughter Elle and son Logan — even alleging that she couldn’t afford diapers at one point.
Meanwhile, Lenny decided to file his and Lisa’s prenuptial agreement with the court in an effort to have her move out of their shared Miami home.
A judge ruled in April 2023 that the dad of two had to pay the mother of his children $8,000 per month in temporary support.
