In a surprising turn of events, Kelly Bensimon has made the difficult decision to call off her wedding to financier Scott Litner. Just four days before the ceremony was scheduled to take place, the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star confirmed the heartbreaking split. Bensimon cited her two daughters as her main priority in a statement released to the public, emphasizing that she will not be moving forward with the wedding.
The news of the split came on the same day that Bensimon was reportedly supposed to pick up her three wedding dresses from Kleinfeld’s. The wedding, which was set to be held in Litner’s mother’s backyard in Boston in front of friends and family, has now been called off. This sudden change of plans has undoubtedly come as a shock to many who were anticipating the celebration.
Bensimon, 56, and Litner’s engagement took place during a Fourth of July vacation to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, last year. Their relationship was filled with memorable moments, with plans for not one, but two wedding ceremonies – one in Boston and another in the Hamptons. Bensimon had previously expressed her admiration for Litner, describing him as a “really special human” that left her speechless when they first met.
It is clear that Bensimon had high hopes for her future with Litner, as evidenced by her emotional reaction while trying on wedding dresses just a month before the ceremony was called off. She shared with Page Six her disbelief at finding love later in life and the joy she felt leading up to the wedding day. This heartbreaking turn of events has left many wondering about the future of their relationship.
Prior to her relationship with Litner, Bensimon was married to famed photographer Gilles Bensimon from 1997 until 2007. The end of her marriage to Litner marks another chapter in her romantic journey, filled with both highs and lows. As she navigates this difficult time in her life, Bensimon’s focus on her daughters and personal well-being is a reminder of the importance of self-care and priorities in times of heartbreak.
