Kelly Bensimon has returned to her previous New York City apartment building following the cancellation of her wedding to Scott Litner.
On Sunday, July 7, it was reported that Bensimon, 56, had rented out her apartment in the Police Building for $28,500 when she got engaged to Litner.
Bensimon confirmed to the outlet that her former three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence is still being rented out. She is now residing in a different unit within the converted former police headquarters located in lower Manhattan.
“I’m excited about my new chapter,” Bensimon, who is affectionately known as the “unofficial commissioner” of the building, told.
This update about Bensimon’s residence follows the recent end of her relationship with Litner. Bensimon exclusively revealed last month that she ended her engagement due to Litner’s refusal to sign a prenuptial agreement.
“I haven’t come this far in business and life to start making poor decisions because of a man,” Bensimon explained.
“He of all people should have understood the need to protect each other before we tied the knot. I’m truly shocked he refused a prenup.”
Bensimon claimed that Litner believed she would “leave everything to faith” without securing “legal protections.”
Just days earlier, her representative informed Us that Bensimon was “disappointed” by the end of the relationship.
“She was looking forward to an exciting new chapter in her life together with Scott when everything became clear to her late on Tuesday afternoon,” the rep said.
Bensimon and Litner had planned to marry in a ceremony at her mother’s backyard in Boston, with a larger celebration also scheduled for the Hamptons.
Instead of spending her supposed wedding day with Litner, Bensimon chose to be with her loved ones. “Family first,” she captioned an Instagram Story photo last month.
Bensimon and Litner had announced their engagement in 2023 while vacationing in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, for the 4th of July.
“We hopped on a boat, and I was driving him around [my hometown], and he said, ‘Go to your favorite spot,’” Bensimon told Us exclusively in August 2023.
“Then he asked me to marry him. I [was in] a pink bikini … totally not prepared … It was very real and I think that there’s a lot of these weddings and proposals which are really Instagrammable and beautiful … but it was just very genuine.”
