Lisa Hochstein risked an unpleasant confrontation with her ex-husband Lenny as they both attended the grand opening of Casadonna Restaurant in Miami on Friday.
The 41-year-old The Real Housewives of Miami star split from the 57-year-old plastic surgeon in May last year, with the estranged couple still arguing over their divorce settlements.
As Lenny left the event, he was seen sneaking into the venue through the back entrance with his new fiancée Katharina Mazepa, 28.
Meanwhile, Lisa was joined by her boyfriend Jody Glidden, who she has been dating since February this year.
The TV personality posed for photos indoors wearing a black mini dress with a side slit and orange PVC flowers at the neckline.

The outing comes amid reports that Lenny is trying to make a last-minute change to his divorce agreements with Lisa.
According to Page Six, he filed an emergency motion in court on August 10 to withdraw his divorce agreement. The ex-partners had previously agreed on the settlement.
However, it could be a mutual move, as a second filing shows that Lenny’s lawyer consulted with Lisa’s lawyer and both sides agreed to resolve the matter without a court hearing.
In one of the filings, Lenny’s attorney noted that he withdrew the settlement “in anticipation” that Lisa would reject it.

The surgeon also requested that the original, withdrawn settlement offer be kept confidential.
Although his filings suggested that he and Lisa were continuing to work toward a fairer settlement, a source close to the former couple called his recent moves another attempt to harm Lisa by prolonging their grueling divorce proceedings.
The source claimed he withdrew the settlement to prolong the legal process and leave them “bankrupt” with mounting legal fees.
They also claimed he tried to get them to sign a new “low-ball” agreement.
Lenny had previously been ordered to pay Lisa $8,000 per month in temporary support.
The new hurdle for the couple as they attempt to finalize their divorce is a surprising development, as Page Six reported that they were close to agreeing to a settlement in early July.
The feuding ex-partners were married for twelve years and have two children together: their seven-year-old son Logan and their three-year-old daughter Elle.
In July, Lenny announced that he had gotten engaged to his model girlfriend Katharina Mazepa.
This seemed to infuriate Lisa, who wrote scathing “congratulations” to her “current husband and his mistress.”

She also had trouble with Lenny’s mother, who had previously made fun of Lisa when she congratulated her son on “finding a woman who loves and respects you” before adding that he would have that in his marriage Lisa “didn’t have it”.
“What a wonderful mother-in-law and grandmother.” “How disgusting,” Lisa wrote after hearing the engagement news.
She had previously accused Lenny of having an affair with his new fiancée while they were still together, which he denied.
Even after he announced the engagement, he was flooded with comments on social media reminding him that he was still married to Lisa since the divorce had not yet been finalized and they had not yet been declared legally single . ‘
