‘Real Housewives of Miami' star's ex husband has another new girlfriend. Keep up
The ink on Lenny Hochstein's divorce from Lisa Hochstein is barely dry, and he's moved on yet again. The 'Real Housewives of Miami' castmate is with someone new these days, Us Weekly reports. She's Alena Kovalenko, a 25-year-old model from his homeland of Russia. They apparently met through a mutual friend and sparks flew. 'It's very new and fresh,' the plastic surgeon known as Boob God, 59, told the celebrity news outlet. 'We have a mutual attraction to each other, enjoy spending time together and doing the things that normal couples do.' Kovalenko calls Bali home, but that could change on a dime as Hochstein reveals she is currently staying with him at his Star Island mansion. On her Instagram, Kovalenko shows herself posing on the steps of the luxurious waterfront home that Hochstein used to share with his wife and two kids. The Moscow native now shares custody of the children 50/50 with his ex, with whom he split in 2022. 'Wearing confidence,' said Kovalenko's caption. So will the stunning visitor stay or will she go? That remains to be seen. 'It's still too early to make any decisions,' said Hochstein, who broke up with his on again, off again influencer fiancée Katharina Mazepa earlier this year. As for what Lisa Hochstein thinks of the current situation? She didn't respond to a Miami Herald request seeking comment, but that's not unusual given Bravo keeps all Housewives under lock and key. The 42-year-old did recently tell us that she is happy with her boyfriend Jody Glidden, with whom she founded SplitWell, an AI powered tool to make the divorce process easier. It also seems she would like things to get to the next level. Hochstein told Us in a separate interview last November during the Bravo Fan Fest in Wynwood: 'My left hand just feels a little empty.'

Larsa Pippen just threw a big birthday party in Miami Beach. Who got the invite?
Larsa Pippen double-dipped in style Thursday night. The 'Real Housewives of Miami' star celebrated both the July 4 holiday and her 51st birthday at ORO restaurant in Miami Beach. Pippen, whose actual b-day was on Sunday, brought newish, younger boyfriend Jeff Coby, 31, as her hot date. Among the pictures shared on social media, only two of her current costars, Kiki Barth and Stephanie Shojaee, were on hand. It's unclear why the other ladies didn't attend the bash at the Lincoln Road hot spot, although we do know of one who likely wasn't invited — Lisa Hochstein. As seen in the first episode of season 7, the two divorcees got into a bit of a nasty tiff. Recap: Pippen was bothered that Hochstein and her boyfriend Jody Glidden still followed her ex-bf Marcus Jordan on Instagram. At Glidden's drama-filled birthday party, Hochstein shrugged it off, accusing Pippen of faking the breakup, and things escalated quickly. Though filming of the episode was completed months ago, an insider told the Miami Herald that the two women are still not getting along. So it's not a huge surprise to not see Hochstein there. As for the rest of the women, maybe they don't want to show their allegiance to either. At least one RHOM castmate is speaking out, and picking sides (sort of). 'I completely understand where Pippen is coming from,' Barth said on Page Six's 'Virtual Reali-tea' show late last month. The Haitian model went on to say she thinks it's inappropriate to follow friends' exes on social media when the relationship ended badly (which it did). Barth added that Glidden, as a man, 'can do whatever he wants to do.' As for Hochstein, she told People magazine she believes Pippen behaved insensitively while she was back home in Canada at her father's wake last fall. Roger MacCallum died in October. 'It was so bad,' the mother of two said. 'Larsa was fighting with me and sending text messages back and forth [regarding Marcus]. I was like, 'What are you doing?' Like, 'Please stop.'' Sigh, can't we all just get along? Paging peacekeeper Andy Cohen...
