Kelly Bensimon is "having fun" this summer. After The Real Housewives of New York City alum split from her now ex fiancé Scott Litner in June, days before their scheduled wedding, she is focusing on her family, herself, and her career. This means that she is starting to go on dates, again — but she isn't settling down just yet.
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy Season 4 cast member told Page Six earlier this month that she is "having fun dating." "I'm not in a relationship," she clarified. However, she is "happy to move forward with new possibilities."
"I am enjoying myself," she added about her life after her break from her fiancé. "I am not hunting. I can't wait for my next chapter. I am not in a committed relationship."
Inside Kelly Killoren Bensimon's Summer in the Hamptons post-break-up
Kelly, according to her Instagram account, has been having a lot of fun in the Hamptons this summer. The "real estate mogul" has been spending her Sundays on the polo field, as riding horses and being in the pasture is her "happy place," Kelly revealed in the caption of an Instagram post.
What are Kelly Bensimon's daughters doing today?
Kelly has also been spending this time hanging out with her daughters, Sea and Teddy Bensimon (who she shares with her ex-husband, Gilles Bensimon), dancing her days away, relaxing by the beach, learning how to play golf, and getting in some "me time." Kelly took to Instagram earlier this month, where she posted a photo of her walking her dog, Tarzan, on the beach in Bridgehampton, and elaborated on how she's working on "self-care."
"I'm learning to take care of myself," Kelly wrote in the caption of the post. "One of my great friends told me, 'put on your oxygen mask first, then help others.' I love this so much. Everyone thinks safety is about others — but if you aren't safe and or centered — you will never be able to help, guide, nurture, others."
Does Kelly Bensimon still work in real estate?
In addition to focusing on herself, Kelly has continued to focus on her real estate career by selling properties in the Hamptons and in the city. But she isn't afraid to take a break and chill out. As Kelly wrote in the caption of one Instagram post of her hanging out at the beach, "I'm a self-proclaimed personification of warm weather."
Why did Kelly Killoren Bensimon call off her engagement?
Days before Kelly was set to wed her fiancé, Scott, in Boston, she revealed to Page Six that she had called off the engagement. At the time, she cited her daughters as a reason for the breakup.
"I have decided that my two daughters are my priority and I won't be moving forward with this wedding," she said.
The next day, she opened up to People about the real reason why she had called off the wedding and the relationship in order to "put an end" to the "speculation and gossip." "To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him," she said. "Full stop."
"He thought I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to fate," she continued. "But I've worked really, really hard as a single mother and have always made smart decisions for myself and my family, and that will continue."
