Who is Katharina Mazepa? 'RHOM' star Lisa Hochstein's husband Lenny dumps her for beauty queen

In the aftermath of his separation from 'RHOM' star Lisa, Lenny Hochstein is seeing Austrian beauty Katharina Mazepa

Lenny Hochstein confirmed his separation from 'Real Housewives of Miami' star, Lisa Hochstein while also confirming his relationship with Katharina Mazepa. He, on the other hand, affirms that none of this occurred until after the decision to divorce was taken.

Lenny revealed his split from Lisa and new romance with Katharina to Us Weekly in a statement on Monday, May 16. He also added that while it is a tough moment, he would appreciate some privacy so that they may best look after the kids who mean the world to them. According to Page Six, the comment came only days after the 'Real Housewives of Miami' starlet was reportedly confronted by Lisa for clubbing with Mazepa at a Miami nightclub. The plastic surgeon stated that he didn't want to address his estranged wife's ups and downs at first.

The separation of 'Real Housewives of Miami' stars Lisa and Lenny Hochstein shocked the reality television world last week when it was revealed that the prominent plastic surgeon dubbed 'boob god' had already moved on with beautiful Austrian model Katharina Mazepa. Despite their current divorce, Lisa was full of optimism about their relationship when she spoke openly to UsWeekly in March of this year. Despite Lisa's optimism, problems were brewing behind the scenes, as Larsa Pippen allegedly confronted Lenny and Austrian model Katharina at a club earlier this month, though Lenny denied any wrongdoing.

A Twitter user wrote reacted to his confirmation of their relationship: "Looks like Lenny and Lisa are definitely done. He’s not hiding other women. #RHOM"

Unfortunately, after Lisa was reported to be "blindsided" by the divorce and his "reckless" behavior, Lenny would end up confirming everything, including his loving relationship with Katharina, in a statement. He states that he and Lisa had been discussing divorce for several years. According to him, he did everything he could to avoid it for the sake of their children, whom they adore. They had been living apart for months before deciding to divorce last month.

Who is Katharina Mazepa?

Katharina Mazepa, 26, is a fashion model who shares her picture sessions on social media. Her recent worldwide Guess campaign, being featured in Harper's Bazaar and Elle Magazine, being named Miss Vienna and acting in the reality TV show 'The Hills: New Beginnings' are among her most notable successes in the industry. Mazepa was born in Austria and has since moved to South Africa, Italy, Munich, Barcelona, and Singapore. She finally moved to the United States and now lives in Miami. Mazepa earned a degree in environmental engineering from the University of Vienna amid her flourishing modeling career.

Mazepa revealed in October 2021 how the Covid-19 outbreak forced her to reassess her approach to earning a living. She admits to making her first million earlier that year, during the summer. It felt astonishing how much social media had helped. Mazepa also has an account on OnlyFans where she shares behind-the-scenes footage from her modeling profession. Katharina married US diplomat Shilo Mazepa in 2019 after meeting in Vienna. Later that year, the couple relocated to Washington, DC. Katharina filed for divorce two years later and is now divorced from Shilo.

'RHOM' followers on social media are also looking forward to the show's next season if Mazepa is cast. One of them stated: "Imagine the drama if they cast Katharina Mazepa on next season’s #RHOM@Andy"

Lisa fans seem to think that Katharina is not with Lenny not because of his looks, implying that his riches is the reason they are together in the first place. One Twitter user wrote: "Let’s face it. Katharina Mazepa is not with Lenny for his looks. Gold digger and home wrecker! They deserve each other #RHOM".

Another curious fan spotted Lenny's Instagram behavior, which could only mean Katharina and Lenny had known each other for a long time: "It's Katharina Mazepa on Ista. He's been liking her pics for awhile now".
