RHONY star Kelly Bensimon calls off wedding to Scott Litner just days before the big day

Kelly Bensimon has called off her wedding to financier Scott Litner just four days before the pair were supposed to tie the knot, PEOPLE can confirm.

An insider close to Bensimon says she's taking time for herself right now to regroup during a difficult time. "I have decided that my two daughters are my priority and I won't be moving forward with this wedding," Bensimon said in a statement to Page Six, who were first to report the story.

The Real Housewives of New York City alum, 56, called off the June 29 wedding on Tuesday, June 25. The couple had planned a two-part celebration, starting with a smaller ceremony at Litner's mother's home in Boston, followed by a bigger celebration in the Hamptons at a later date.

Bensimon and Litner got engaged over the 4th of July weekend in 2023, while vacationing in Lake Geneva, Wis. The couple had been planning their special day for months, with Bensimon even going wedding dress shopping at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City in late May.

Before her relationship with Litner, Bensimon was married to famed fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, from 1997 to 2006. The two share daughters Sea and Teddy. Litner was also previously married twice before and has his own children, according to Page Six.
