Lisa and Lenny Hochstein’s marriage is officially over.
The exes finalized their divorce in November 2024 — more than two years after their initial filing.
The reality star and the famed plastic surgeon first entered the Bravo bubble on the Real Housewives of Miami‘s second season in September 2012.
Lisa and Lenny’s relationship dates back to 2007 when the former couple went on their first date together. Two months after meeting, the RHOM star moved to Miami to live with her then-beau before Lenny proposed six months later. They eventually wed in 2009.
Throughout their first two seasons on the Bravo series, Lisa vocalized her struggles with Lenny in expanding their family. The couple eventually welcomed two children in 2015 and 2019 via surrogate.
Lenny and Lisa’s romance reached its breaking point in May 2022 when they announced their split, followed by a divorce filing. In July 2023, Lenny got engaged to model Katharina Nahlik. Meanwhile, Lisa is currently dating entrepreneur Jody Glidden.

On Aug. 1, Lisa reportedly filed legal paperwork against her estranged husband, claiming that she’s been “financially strangled” by Lenny.

(PEOPLE confirmed the documents’ content with Lisa’s team.)
The funds in question apparently stemmed from a joint credit card overseen by Lenny that Lisa claimed was intended to be used for “personal expenses, expenses for the household and expenses for the parties’ children.”
In a statement to PEOPLE, Lenny claimed, “Lisa uses these court filings to portray me poorly in the press.” He continued, “The fact is that I pay for everything for the children separately. Lisa still lives in the home with the children without a single expense.”
August 2, 2022: Lenny Hochstein’s girlfriend files for a restraining order against Lisa Hochstein
Hours after news broke that Lisa filed legal paperwork claiming that she’d been “financially strangled” by Lenny, his girlfriend, Katharina Nahlik, filed a restraining order against Lisa.
The legal paperwork, obtained by E! News, alleged that Lisa had been “making threatening phone calls, creating fake social media accounts and posting threatening and false statements” to harass Nahlik.
The model alleged that Lisa spun a “false narrative” that Lenny cheated ahead of the divorce. “As Lenny pointed out in his own public statement, they have been separated and sleeping in different bedrooms for months now and living separate lives for months now. It is only after Lenny’s separation that we began dating and having a relationship,” she told the publication.
Nahlik added, “How can [Lisa] have had ‘no idea’ about us going out together when she had time to directly threaten me and [my] home with statements like ‘you are going to pay’ [and] ‘I will destroy you’?”
Lisa, however, categorically denied the claims by Nahlik. “This is just another attempt at a woman who is a self-admitted home wrecker to further try to stay relevant. Hopefully, her 15 minutes will be up soon,” Lisa told PEOPLE exclusively. “I am working with my attorney on a legal response to her baseless allegations.”
