AceShowbiz - Jody Glidden has broken his silence on a shocking report. The boyfriend of "The Real Housewives of Miami" star, Lisa Hochstein, responded to a recent claim suggesting that he dumped his former fiancee shortly before meeting Lisa for the first time.
On Wednesday, November 22, the 50-year-old clarified the report in a lengthy message. In the comments section of an Instagram post about the claim, he penned, "Yes I broke off an engagement a few weeks before I MET Lisa. This article left out that Rabia and I broke up off and on all throughout the year and in early August made it final."
On the reason why, Jody explained, "I didn't want to bring a baby into the world in such an unstable relationship because I have a little girl and I have an ex wife and I remember what a great relationship felt like. Rabia and I never found that stability unfortunately."
Jody went on to recall, "Lisa and I met for the first time weeks after the breakup. We went on a first date about 3 weeks after my final breakup. And Lisa and I were not exclusive or serious until many months after that."
In the same comment, Jody elaborated on all the "nice" things he did for his ex-fiancee Rabia even after the split. He also noted, "Rabia makes it sound like this was mine and her marital home. She and I had no kids, no marriage. I was afraid of all of that with her because we had such an on again off again relationship."
He further claimed, "I was asked for more money a couple of months ago by Rabia. Rabia said she would go to the media to mess with me if I didn't pay. I refused. Lisa heard the whole thing and I called multiple friends at the time including lawyers. They would be happy to corroborate this." He then concluded, "But to sum it up, Rabia and I broke up almost a year and a half ago now."
Earlier that same day, Page Six reported that Jody "called off his wedding just before his first sighting with" Lisa. The outlet also noted that he "has a 14-year-old daughter from a previous marriage, whom we're told Rabia helped raise." His and Rabia's wedding was initially set to be held on September 3, 2022 after they got engaged in September 2021.
Before her romance with Jody, Lisa was married to Dr. Lenny Hochstein. Lenny submitted divorce papers in May 2022 following their 12 years of marriage. In July 2023, he announced his engagement to model Katharina Mazepa. Later on, Lisa sarcastically congratulated the two and called Katharina "his mistress."
