Kelly Bensimon calls off wedding to Scott Litner just four days before the ceremony
Runaway bride!
Kelly Bensimon has called off her wedding to financier Scott Litner just four days before the ceremony was set to take place, Page Six has learned.
The former “Real Housewives of New York City” star confirmed the shocking split.
“I have decided that my two daughters are my priority and I won’t be moving forward with this wedding,” she said in a statement.
She asked for privacy.
Bensimon called it quits with the twice-divorced father of three on Tuesday afternoon, the same day we hear she was set to pick up her three wedding dresses from Kleinfeld’s.
The former couple were set to say “I do” in Boston in Litner’s mother’s back yard in front of friends and family on Saturday.
Bensimon, 56, just went on a mini bachelorette trip with her two daughters, Sea, 26, and Teddy, 24, at Sandals Dunn’s River in Jamaica.
The bubbly socialite and Litner got engaged last year during a Fourth of July vacation to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, near where she grew up.
Along with the backyard Boston ceremony, the pair had planned to have a second blowout in the Hamptons.
“When I first met him, I didn’t even say anything. I was speechless — which is not like me, I always have something to say,” she previously told People. “But he blew me away. He’s just a really special human.”
In September, Bensimon put her downtown apartment up for rent — for a whopping $28,500 a month — and moved in with Litner.
Just this month, she told Page Six she had almost wept while trying on wedding dresses.
“I’m getting married later in life and I never thought this would happen,” she told us. “I just would not change this day and the leading up to it.”
She was previously married to famed photographer Gilles Bensimon from 1997 until 2007.
