MIAMI, FLORIDA: Lisa Hochstein may have gained popularity among Bravo viewers after participating on 'The Real Housewives of Miami,' but she is now well-known across the world following the public disclosure of her tumultuous divorce from cosmetic surgeon Lenny Hochstein.

People are eager to learn more about Lisa's narrative and her dubious history, which includes her appearance in Playboy magazine.

Her opulent lifestyle became a focus of discussion once she joined the 'Real Housewives' franchise in 2012. At the same time, beneath that vanity was someone with a compelling tale about achieving her aspirations in America.

'RHOM' departed Bravo in 2013 before returning to Peacock in 2021. Lisa's character on 'RHOM' hasn't altered much between then and now, but her tale is just as compelling.

Lisa grew up in Toronto, Canada, but she wanted more out of life and began modeling as a chance to travel the world. She finally made her way to the United States, where she met and fell in love with Lenny before becoming a citizen.

The 29-year-old Lisa made a name for herself as a stunning blonde bombshell under her maiden name, Lisa Marie Mackay. She debuted as Lisa Mackay in a Playboy Sexy Girls Next Door issue before getting the cover of Playboy Vixens in 2006 and then featuring in a Playboy Voluptuous Vixens issue in 2007.

Lisa Mackay's measurements are taken from one of her online modeling accounts. It was last updated in 2009, and it plainly notes that she no longer performs naked.

We believe the wedding band had an impact on that decision!

Lenny is a long-time Bravolebrity, having appeared in the network's short-lived reality show 'Miami Slice' in 2004.

How did 'RHOM' star Lisa Hochstein meet Lenny Hochstein?

Nicki Swift claims that Lenny met Lisa in Las Vegas. Lisa traveled to Miami to be with Lenny two months later, despite the fact that they lived on different sides of the country.

"We decided to take a chance on love," Lisa explained. "So I decided to move to Miami. It was never on my radar to move here."

Six months later, Lenny proposed, and the two began their adventure as husband and wife. Lenny was once one of The Real Housewives' top spouses, but the ship sailed once rumors of him cheating on her surfaced.

Who is 'RHOM' star Lisa Hochstein dating now?

In March 2023, Lisa and her boyfriend, Jody Glidden, gave an interview with Entertainment Tonight in which they confirmed their relationship.

Lisa responded, "I guess it's sort of out of the bag," at the moment. "Yeah, I'm dating. I'm dating this guy."

What is 'RHOM' star Lisa Hochstein's net worth?

Lisa debuted on 'RHOM' as a joyful, wonderful doctor's wife and mother. Only half of that is true as of this writing.

While Lisa remains a committed mother to her and Lenny's children, Logan and Elle, her divorce was made public during the filming of 'RHOM' Season 6.

Lisa revealed on the show how emotionally and financially draining the divorce process has been.

With a $90 million net worth, Lisa is clearly doing well financially for a former Playmate. But according to Celebrity Net Worth, Lisa married Lenny in order to make money.

Lenny also wants to ensure that his ex-wife doesn't receive half of the money they shared throughout their marriage, based on their court battles.

Page Six revealed in June 2023 that Lenny and Lisa's divorce had only gotten worse over time. The 2009 couple has been in court since Lisa learned in Season 5 of 'RHOM' that Lenny desired a divorce.

The "boob god" and surgeon has claimed that his former wife's extravagant spending was "bleeding him out" financially. Lenny claimed in court records seen by The Daily Mail that Lisa had charged $10,000 to his Instacart account.

In response, Lisa filed a counter-suit, arguing that Lenny had disconnected her from grocery delivery services such as Instacart, Uber, and Uber Eats, thus acting "in violation" of an earlier court ruling. Additionally, she said that Lenny frequently verbally abused her and "berated her" in front of their kids.

Lisa isn't allowing Lenny's turbulent divorce to affect her. She said on 'RHOM' that she intends to use her entrepreneurial abilities in her new chapter of life after moving on with the divorce.

In the sixth season of the Bravo series, Lisa goes to Palm Beach with her other cast members. Lisa brought Adriana de Moura and Dr Nicole Martin over to test Fly Parfum, her perfume.

While traveling, Lisa started looking for the "ideal" assortment of fragrances to include in her line.

"I want people to chase you down the street and say, ‘What are you wearing?'" Lisa said on 'RHOM'.

“That’s how you know you’re wearing a good scent.”

In 2023, Lisa finally debuted her fragrance, Aroma 360. At $165, the scent is a bit on the costly side. But we wouldn't anticipate any less from Lisa.

Apart from her endeavor to improve the world's aroma, Lisa is also involved in another business initiative that was sparked by her divorce. Lisa said in November 2023 that she was going to start Splitwell.

Lisa is "turning her pain into purpose," according to Page Six, by assisting other divorcing couples get a peaceful divorce "without breaking the bank".

How did Lisa Hochstein join 'RHOM'?

The cast of the second season was expanded to include Lisa, Joanna Krupa, Karent Sierra, and Ana Quincoces. The season debuted on September 13, 2012. In order to devote more time to caring for her son, who was hurt in a 2011 automobile accident, Alexia Nepola was reduced to a recurring role.
