Real Housewives of Miami’sLisa Hochsteinis admittedly still finding her way out of the darkness ofdivorce.
The reality star, 40, gave an update on her split from husbandLenny HochsteinatBravoCon 2022on Friday.
During a panel discussion, Lisa said of her fellow Housewives, “These women are like my sisters. Having to deal with what I’m going through privately and publicly for the whole world to see was so difficult.”
She added, “My kids get me through every day. It’s been six months, and there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, and hopefully I’m gonna get there soon.”
Sutton StrackeofThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, who also went through a challenging divorce as a Housewife, chimed in: “Don’t forget to take as much money as you can — because you earned it.”

For her part, Stracke reflected on her divorce, saying, “I had to go through a moment of sadness, deep sadness — but I also had to be a mother, and that’s what pushed me forward, being a mommy.”
She continued, “Then there’s this self-discovery that happens. I kind of think, it’s like the firebird that rises through the ashes.”
Stanbury noted she started herDivorced Not Deadpodcast to process her split because the end of a marriage “doesn’t have to be the end of your life.”
And Hochstein knows there are still many chapters to go in her own life. “I think I might write a book,” she teased at one point during the panel. “We all have a story to tell.”
Lisa’s update comes after ex-husband Lenny, 56, filed for divorce in May citing “irreconcilable differences.” Lenny announced the split publicly. Through a spokesperson, Lisa told PEOPLE the decision was “reckless” and “blindsided her.”
Lenny has since moved on from the relationship. Shortly after announcing their divorce, Lenny confirmed to PEOPLE he had entered a relationship with model Katharina Mazepa. However, he reiterated that his relationship with Katharina didn’t start until his marriage to Lisa had ended.
“Nothing happened between [Katharina and I] until [Lisa and I] decided on the divorce,” he said, “and Lisa was aware of my plans before anything happened between Katharina and myself.”
The couple signed a prenup ahead of their marriage, which states Lenny will pay spousal support to Lisa. Their finances have been discussed in the public eye, too.
