Meet Lenny Hochstein's fiancée.
The Florida plastic surgeon is engaged to model Katharina Mazepa, who he's been in a relationship with since May 2022.
News of Hochstein's romance came just days after he announced his split from Lisa Hochstein, his then-wife of 13 years. Mazepa and Hochstein later shared their engagement news in a joint Instagram post on July 30.
"On top of an ancient pirate cave, overlooking the sunset over breathtaking Es Vedrá, he asked to steal me away forever. 🏴☠️♾," the newly-engaged couple captioned the post, which featured a series of pics from the proposal.
Shortly after, the Real Housewives of Miami star took to her Instagram Story to react to Hochstein — with whom she is currently locked in an “ugly and really nasty” divorce — popping the question to Mazepa. “Congrats to my current husband and his mistress on their engagement,” she wrote the day after her estranged husband's post.

Five months later, Lisa and Glidden made their romance Instagram official on July 22. "Sometimes our past is just meant to teach us to be better for our next future," the pair wrote in a joint social media post. "Love you so much," they concluded.
