REAL Housewives of Miami’s Lenny Hochstein has officially filed for divorce from his wife Lisa after 12-years, claiming their marriage is “broken.”
In the filing exclusively obtained by The Sun, Lenny, 55, filed for divorce from his reality star wife Lisa, 39, on May 20 in Florida.
In the document, Lenny claimed that “irreconcilable differences have arisen between the parties to the extent that their marriage is irretrievably broken and there is no present hope for a meaningful reconciliation.”
Lenny also claimed that he and the Real Housewives star have a prenuptial agreement.
The Bravo star acknowledges that they have two minor children, their daughter, Elle, 2, and their son, Logan, 6.
Lenny said: “Both parents married each other with the full intent of starting a family and becoming parents together and they delight in being parents to their two children.”

Lenny is asking that both parents “enjoy substantial time-sharing” with their children.
The plastic surgeon also claimed that “both parties have agreed to dissolve their marriage at least a month ago.”
In the filing, the 55-year-old said that he has offered to pay for Lisa’s legal fees, and claimed he intends to pay for 100% of their children’s health insurance, private school education and “enrichment in school activities.”
He also claimed in the filing that he agrees to pay spousal support to Lisa according to the terms of their prenuptial agreement.
The father-of-two is also requesting that the court equitably distributes all non-marital assets.
AN UGLY SPLIT
In a previous interview with Page Six, Lenny confirmed they were heading for divorce. “Lisa and I are getting divorced.
“A few weeks ago, I denied this because I am trying my best to protect my family during this process.”
He continued: “This is a very difficult time, and I would ask for some privacy so that we can best take care of our children who mean the world to us.”

The reality star revealed that he and Lisa have “contemplated divorce for the last several years.”
“I tried my best to avoid it for the sake of our children, who we love deeply.”
The TV star added: “We have been living separate lives for months and made the decision to divorce last month.”
Lenny also opened up about his new relationship with Austrian model Katharina Mazepa.
He said: “It was after the decision was made that I started seeing Katharina.
“This is something that Lisa was well aware of before it happened.”
He concluded: “Our issues have nothing to do with the filming of the show.”
‘COMPLETELY BLINDSIDED’
A source close to Lisa told the outlet that she was not “aware” of any divorce proceedings.
The insider added: “She isn’t directly aware of any divorce talk but can assume the direction it’s going since he hasn’t been hiding anything.
Lisa is said to have been “completely blindsided” by Lenny’s change in behavior and is “disgusted” by how “he would do this to his children.”
The source concluded: “She’s just shocked that in a heartbeat he would just abandon his family.”
SHOWDOWN AT GALA
Recently, the tension brewing between Lisa and Lenny reportedly exploded at the Miami nightclub Gala.
His nightclubbing is said to have ended “with a showdown” between him, Lisa, and his new beau.
Lisa reportedly confronted him while he was out partying with his “new girlfriend.”
An eyewitness said: “They were all there, and they did have words.
“A drink was thrown.”
