Lisa Hochstein has found a new opportunity for love with Jody Glidden, but she is undecided about marriage. "I do want to get married again. I don't know. Yes and no," Lisa, 41, exclusively told We on Wednesday, January 10, while discussing season 6 of the Real Housewives of Miami. "I just don't like all of the bad stuff that comes along with divorce. We're good right now."
The RHOM star revealed that she is unable to get married legally because she is still not officially divorced from her estranged husband Lenny Hochstein. The former couple, who were married for 13 years, have been embroiled in a lengthy divorce battle since their separation in May 2022. Lenny, aged 57, went public with his relationship with girlfriend Katharina Mazepa when he announced his split from Lisa and later proposed to Mazepa in July 2023.
"I don't want to get engaged or remarried until my divorce is finalized," she stated. "You can't legally be married to two people."
In February 2023, Lisa moved on with Glidden, 50, and expressed her happiness with the relationship. The reality star shared that she has a strong relationship with Glidden's daughter Peyton and ex-wife, and even mentioned going on vacation together with their children.
Lisa shared that she and Glidden also invited his ex-wife and her family over to celebrate Christmas as a blended brood.

"I've never had a relationship quite like this in my entire life, so it's wonderful," she said. "He's amazing with my kids and his daughter. Our family has grown."
Despite facing criticism from her RHOM costars for moving on, Lisa and Glidden's romance has been smooth sailing.
"I've faced a lot of criticism, like, 'Oh, who is Jody? Why is she getting into this relationship so quickly?' But you have to remember, it was months and months after I met Jody that we actually started a relationship," she told Us. "We didn't get serious until much later. So I didn't just rush into a relationship. And when you find the right person, why would you let that go? Many of the women on the show are searching for what I have found, so I don't understand their doubts."
As Glidden has become more involved in the Bravo franchise, Lisa's fellow housewives have grown to accept her new partner.
“Everyone that knows Jody knows that he’s just the most loveliest man,” she gushed. “He’s just so very different [from] what I’m used to.”
