In a surprising turn of events, the 'Real Housewives of New York City' alum has called off her highly anticipated wedding to financier Scott Litner just days before the ceremony.
- June 26, 2024
AceShowbiz - Kelly Bensimon, 56, called off her June 29 wedding to Scott Litner on Tuesday, June 25. An insider close to Bensimon says she's taking time for herself during a difficult time.
"I have decided that my two daughters are my priority and I won’t be moving forward with this wedding," Bensimon said in a statement to Page Six.
The couple planned to host two separate celebrations, beginning with a smaller ceremony at Litner's mother's home in Boston and a larger event in the Hamptons at a later date.
Litner proposed to Bensimon over the 4th of July weekend in 2023 while they were vacationing in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. The pair had been dating for one year before agreeing to marry.
Prior to her relationship with Litner, Bensimon was married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon from 1997 to 2006. They share daughters Sea and Teddy. Litner was also previously married twice and has children of his own.
Bensimon was a main cast member on seasons 2 through 4 of "The Real Housewives of New York City", and appeared as a guest in seasons 6 and 7. She later rejoined the franchise for season 4 of "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip".
