    Kelly Bensimon is back on the dating scene less than two months after she called off her wedding

    The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star, 56, had been due to marry wealth management advisor Scott Litner on June 29, but she axed the nuptials with just four days notice after Scott refused to sign a pre-nuptial agreement - and now she's revealed she's looking for love once again


    Kelly told New York Post column PageSix: "I'm not in a relationship. I am ... happy to move forward with new possibilities ... [I'm] having fun dating."

    She went on to add: "I am enjoying myself. I am not hunting. I can't wait for my next chapter. I am not in a committed relationship."

    The reality TV star initially explained she had decided not to get married for the sake of her two daughters - Sea, 26, and Teddy, 24 - before later revealing the decision came after Scott refused to sign a pre-nuptial agreement.

    After calling off her big day, she told PEOPLE: "Ultimately, my decision is nobody's business, but I understand that there is speculation and gossip, and I want to put an end to all of it. To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him. Full stop."

    A statement released to the outlet added: "She was looking forward to an exciting new chapter in her life together with Scott when everything became clear to her late on Tuesday afternoon ... [He] refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, effectively stalling their engagement mere days before the wedding."

    The statement included words from Kelly, which explained: "He thought that I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith.

    "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."

    Scott proposed to Kelly over the Fourth of July weekend in 2023 during a holiday in Wisconsin and they planned to marry in two ceremonies. One would have taken place at Scott's mother's home in Boston with a second celebration taking place in the Hamptons.

    Kelly was previously married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon - the father of her two daughters - from 1997 to 2006.
