When Did Lisa and Lenny Split?
Lenny confirmed in May 2022 that he and Lisa were separating after initially denying split rumors.
“A few weeks ago, I denied this because I am trying my best to protect my family during this process. It is true that I am seeing Katharina, but none of this happened until after the decision was made to get divorced. This is a very difficult time and I would ask for some privacy so that we can best take care of our children who mean the world to us,” he told Us at the time.
The celebrity surgeon’s public acknowledgment of his new relationship came shortly after Page Sixreported that Lisa and costar Larsa Pippen were spotted confronting Lenny and Mazepa at a Miami club.
In December 2022, Lisa reposted a video of the May confrontation via her Instagram Story. In a statement to Us, Lenny called the footage “a setup,” adding, “My goal is to give Lisa as much space as possible. … She will never miss an opportunity to cast me in a bad light any chance she gets.”
In the clip, the doctor’s friend Vito referred to himself as “officially single.” Lenny then replied, “In a couple months, I might be single too.”
When Vito said he didn’t want to see the married couple split, Lenny quipped, “I do.”

Lenny and Lisa's Feud Over Financial Support
In November 2022, Lisa alleged that her estranged husband hadn’t been adding money to his American Express card, thereby rendering her unable to pay for necessities for their children.
“[Lenny] has the ability to throw lavish parties, but doesn’t have the ability or desire to provide support to [Lisa] and the parties’ two young children?” she argued in court documents obtained by Us.
Lenny hit back with a filing of his own in January 2023, claiming that Lisa is seeking “excessive temporary support", and noting that he supports the family while the RHOM star “drives luxury vehicles including a Range Rover and a Rolls Royce.”
In April 2023, a judge ruled that Lenny should pay his estranged wife $8,000 a month in temporary support. According to court documents obtained by Page Six, the doctor was also ordered to "maintain the status quo" in regard to financially supporting his children.

Where Lenny Stands
In January 2023, Lenny told Us that his children are his priority amid the divorce proceedings.
“Whatever happens, I want to make sure they have a great life and are taken care of and want for nothing,” the father of two said.
The Louisiana State University alum added that his split from Lisa has “not soured” his perspective on marriage in general.
“Sometimes things don’t work out. I’m neither open nor not open to [getting remarried]. I have an open mind with everything,” he said.

Lenny Claims Lisa Pushed and Yelled at Him
Lenny filed new docs in May 2023, claiming that Lisa became enraged when he walked into their former bedroom.
“Upon entering the master bedroom, [Lisa] suddenly ran out of her combined bathroom and closet and surprised [Lenny] by engaging in a verbal tirade demanding to know why [Lenny] had entered the master bedroom,” the documents read, according to Page Six. “[Lisa] started pushing [Lenny] physically which caused him to retreat, and [Lisa] continued to pursue and follow [Lenny] while yelling at him.”
A rep for the Miami Beach Police Department confirmed to the outlet at the time that there was an incident at their residence.
Days later, Lisa claimed in court documents obtained by Page Six that Lenny “abused” her the in past and she fears for their kids’ “safety.” The Housewife noted in the filing that she doesn’t allow the kids to stay with Lenny overnight because of “deep concerns” involving his girlfriend, Mazepa.
“[Lisa] fears that exposure to [Mazepa] is not in the best interests of the children,” her attorneys stated in the court docs. “But importantly, [Lenny] does not truly have the time and inclination to spend overnights with the children.”
Lisa also fired back at her estranged spouse’s claims that she spends “very little time” with Logan and Elle. She alleged in the filing that Lenny is the one who “comes in and out of” their lives and chooses not to “dedicate any substantive time” with the little ones.
Lenny has yet to respond to Lisa’s counter filing.

“The biggest adjustment was not seeing my kids for half of their lives because really that’s what it is,” Lisa exclusively told Us in 2025. “I try to make the most out of my time with them.”

Lisa and Lenny Hochstein’s Legal Battle Continues
According to court documents filed on April 3, 2026, Lisa Hochstein asked for temporary attorney’s fees and other costs to be covered after Lenny Hochstein objected to a court’s recommended order regarding valuable belongings in their divorce. She claimed that Lenny “continues to litigate this matter to no end to exert financial pressure on [me].”
Lisa’s legal team also claimed that Lenny admitted in writing that he has a net worth of $175 million and that he “further demonstrated his extraordinary wealth through written statements.” Lisa stated in court docs that her “income is uncertain and inconsistent.”
“While she has previously earned income as a reality television personality, her contract has not been renewed, and any future income is contingent upon brand partnerships, which are inherently unpredictable and sporadic,” the court docs stated. “[She] should not be forced to invade her assets to defend this litigation. The disparity in financial resources between the parties is substantial and undeniable.”
