It looks like former Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon may have suffered a case of cold feet.
The reality star ended her engagement to her fiancé Scott Litner just four days before her wedding was set to take place, according to Page Six and Us Weekly on Tuesday.
“I have decided that my two daughters are my priority and I won’t be moving forward with this wedding,” Bensimon, 56, told Page Six in a statement, adding that she’s asking for privacy at this time.

The former Bravo star’s rep told Us Weekly that she’s “taking a moment to herself” before she shares any additional details behind her split from Litner. Like in her statement to Page Six, Bensimon — who shares daughters Sea, 26, and Teddy, 24, with ex-husband Gilles Bensimon — also stressed that her main focus right now is her children.
According to Page Six, Bensimon called off her wedding on Tuesday, which was the same day she was reportedly scheduled to pick up her three wedding dresses from Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City.
Just days before she ended her engagement, the real estate agent returned from a bachelorette trip with her daughters at Sandals Dunn’s River in Jamaica.
Bensimon and her now-ex were set to tie the knot in Litner’s mother’s backyard in Boston on Saturday, with plans to later host a large bash in the Hamptons.

The couple got engaged over Fourth of July weekend last year. A few months later, Bensimon put her NYC apartment for rent — asking for $28,500 a month — and moved in with her fiancé.
While speaking with Page Six earlier this month, Bensimon opened up about trying on wedding gowns at Kleinfeld’s, admitting that it was an emotional experience.
“Literally, when I was trying on the dress, I almost started crying,” she said, adding, “I’m getting married later in life and I never thought this would happen. I just would not change this day and the leading up to it.”
Bensimon was previously married to photographer Gilles Bensimon from 1997 to 2007, while Litner has been divorced twice.
