The rumors were true: In the wake of his recent split from "The Real Housewives of Miami" star Lisa Hochstein, Dr. Lenny Hochstein has a new girlfriend, model Katharina Mazepa. On May 16, the plastic surgeon told Page Six that although he previously called the breakup rumors fake news, he and the reality star are, in fact, going their separate ways after 12 years of marriage. "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. 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," he said, adding that he and Lisa "contemplated divorce for the last several years" and that he and Katharina didn't get together "until after the decision was made to get divorced." Continued the father of two, "I tried my best to avoid it for the sake of our children, who we love deeply. We have been living separate lives for months and made the decision to divorce last month. It was after the decision was made that I started seeing Katharina. This is something that Lisa was well aware of before it happened. Our issues have nothing to do with the filming of the show." When contacted for comment by the New York Post's gossip column, Lisa replied that she was focused on her children but also acknowledged that she was "blindsided" by her estranged husband's "behavior and reckless handling of the situation." Meanwhile, a source close to Lisa alleged that the former Bravo personality wasn't "directly aware" of Lenny's desire to divorce but could "assume" he was ready to end the marriage because he "hasn't been hiding anything" with Katharina. The source added that neither Lisa nor Lenny have filed for divorce yet. "She's devastated and disgusted that he would do this to his children. The way he's out flaunting [his new relationship] is gross. She's just shocked that in a heartbeat he would just abandon his family," said the insider. As for Katharina…

On May 18, Lenny Hochstein's new girlfriend — model Katharina Mazepa, who reportedly filed to divorce her husband, U.S. diplomat Shilo Mazepa, in 2021 following two years of marriage — insisted to Page Six that she had nothing to do with her beau's divorce from "The Real Housewives of Miami" star Lisa Hochstein: "The reality is that both Lenny and I have been separated from our spouses for a while and are both going through divorces. I was informed Lisa was fully aware that he was going out with me. … In fact, he is going to great lengths to protect his family and do right by everyone involved in this difficult process," she said, adding that she's "not the reason for their breakup" and would never go "for a man who is happily married." The brunette beauty maintained that she and Lenny "started seeing each other after we had both separated from our spouses." Katharina's rep also opened up to the New York Post's gossip column about the model's relationship with the plastic surgeon, insisting that "Katharina made Lenny aware that she herself was navigating a divorce, and he made her aware that he was currently going through a separation and divorce as well." Added the rep, "They are in the early stages of getting to know each other. They are both going through similar circumstances, and together they bonded over navigating their own divorces from their recent first date."

In other "Housewives" breakup news… According to Page Six, "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star Dr. Jen Armstrong filed for legal separation from her husband of nearly eight years, Ryne Holliday, in The O.C. on May 13. She reportedly listed their date of separation as Sept. 8, 2021, and cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. She's asking for primary legal and physical custody of their three children with visitation rights for her estranged husband. She also indicated that neither she nor her ex should receive spousal support payments from the other. "Ryne and I are taking some time apart to focus on ourselves and our children. While we are very sad, we are hoping that we will heal and be even stronger as a family. We ask for patience as we navigate this new chapter in our lives," she said in a statement to People magazine. A Page Six source later said "there was no specific catalyst" that prompted Jen, who briefly separated from Ryne last summer, to file for divorce: "After their first trial separation in September, Jen and Ryne were still in limbo and Jen felt like she needed to take this step to improve their family dynamic. The issues they've been having are the same issues that played out on the show. But all is amicable and they are committed to keeping their kids stable and happy," said the source.

Where there's smoke…? On May 18 — five years after Charlize Theron and Gabriel Aubry were first romantically linked — Us Weekly reported that, according to a source, the Oscar winner "has been hooking up" with Halle Berry's former long-term love. "They're very casual and enjoying each other," said the source, adding that the relationship is "nothing serious." (After they were photographed together back in 2017, the mother of two insisted that she'd "never met" the comely Canadian — who shares daughter Nahla with Halle and also previously romanced Kim Kardashian — but simply said hi to him in passing because their "kids go to the same school.") In mid-2021, a bizarre rumor of dubious origins linked Gabriel to another A-list actress: Jennifer Aniston. Charlize, meanwhile, hasn't seriously dated anyone since her relationship with Sean Penn came to an end in 2015.

On May 14, People magazine confirmed recent rumors that, according to a source, Jason Momoa is "dating" Eiza Gonzalez — who previously romanced his "Dune" co-star Timothée Chalamet, as well as Josh Duhamel and Liam Hemsworth — in the wake of his recent split from Lisa Bonet. "He cares about her," said one source. "They're both busy with work but are having fun together," said a second source, adding that the relationship is "nothing serious yet." A third People source later added that the "Ambulance" actress likes the "Aquaman" actor's "laid-back vibes" and "attention" but "isn't necessarily looking for a boyfriend" right now.

They are seeing each other and things are casual right now. They're having a good time." (A second "ET" source, meanwhile, noted that Jason and his ex-wife "are still committed to being friends for the sake of their family" and "want each other to be happy.")

According to the webloid, the pair have grown close, but the litigator has a boyfriend of several months: a Brit who works in real estate.
