Sources have spotted Lisa Hochstein getting chummy with tech CEO Jody Glidden on what appeared to be a date amid her recent divorce from Lenny Hochstein. However, the star denied Lenny’s reported allegation that she brought two romantic interests to her husband’s Halloween party.
The former couple’s contentious divorce has been the subject of media attention, and Lenny’s rumored affair was seemingly confirmed on a recent episode of Real Housewives of Miami when he expressed in a hot-mic moment that he’d be cheating on the person he really cared about if he slept with his wife.
According to eyewitnesses speaking to Page Six, Lisa was “canoodling” with Jody, a tech entrepreneur, after her interview with Larsa Pippen on Watch What Happens Live.
The source claimed Larsa was also spotted with them at Catch Steak in NYC along with her rumored romantic interest, Marcus Jordan.
“There was a lot of canoodling at the table,” said the eyewitness, who shared that the cast members took a picture with one fan.
Despite Larsa’s recent claim that she and Marcus are only friends, the two were photographed holding hands as they departed the restaurant.
And despite Lisa’s alleged PDA, she also denies having a serious romance with Jody.
“He’s my friend. I’m not, like, dating anyone seriously at all,” said Lisa. “Like, you know, of course I have friends. I meet people. I’m, you know, I’m not dead.
She went on to say, “Like, it’s been seven months [since separating from Lenny]. But, you know, there’s no, like, serious relationship on the horizon … I’m just trying to live my life and have fun.”
Her new ‘friendship’ was revealed amid the recent accusation that she was “romantically involved” with two different men throughout her divorce proceedings, and they both were present at Lenny’s Halloween party.
“Not only did [Lisa] invite over 100 guests of her own choosing to the party, [Lisa] also invited at least two male guests who [Lisa] has been romantically involved with during the pendency of this dissolution proceeding, if not earlier,” Lenny asserted in the docs, via Page Six.
However, in an interview with the outlet’s Virtual Reali-Tea podcast, Lisa denied the assertions.
“So there is no truth to that whatsoever,” she alleged, adding, “Honestly, even if I was dating, that’s my own private business … Like, why would somebody that left me for someone else even comment on something like that after months later when he’s fully in a relationship?”
She explained, “It’s just untrue.”
Lisa also addressed Lenny’s media exposure. “It’s unbelievable to me that he just won’t stop talking to the press,” said the star. “It didn’t need to go this far, but he’s been talking since day one. I have been very quiet, you know, and I am almost forced to address these things on the show because he did it himself. He went to the press and now it’s public.”
The Real Housewives of Miami season five is currently streaming on Peacock.
