Parade exclusively caught up with former Bravo star at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17.
It’s been a hot minute since Kelly Bensimon has graced the small screen, but that doesn’t mean she’s ruling out another return to reality TV.
“I never say never,” the Real Housewives of New York alum, 56, exclusively told Parade at the iHeartRadio Music Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on Monday, March 17. “People always ask me, ‘Would I come back on Housewives?’ Never say never. Would I ever do the Golden Bachelorette? I think it would be fun.”
Bensimon continued: “My girls are 24 and 26. They are out of the house. They are happy and healthy and well. This is the first time in my entire life that I am single and my children are doing what they love, so I’m just feeling so good about myself, and I’m just really excited to explore that next chapter of my life and really go for it.”
Bensimon was previously married to fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon from 1997 to 2007. Together they share daughters Teddy and Sea.
The former Bravo star was also previously engaged to Scott Litner, who popped the question in July 2023. The pair later called off their wedding just four days before their nuptials after Litner refused to sign a prenuptial agreement. The former couple were set to wed in the Boston area in June last year.
Bensimon first joined the cast of RHONY during its second season in 2009 and served as a full-time cast member until her Season 4 exit. She’s also made appearances on a variety of reality shows, including Odd Mom Out, Million Dollar Matchmaker and Season 4 of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy, which premiered on Peacock in December 2023.
