On January 5, Jody shared a post reflecting on the past year, featuring clips of fireworks, travels, and moments with his daughter. “Grateful for family, friends, and the year that I’ve had,” he wrote in the caption. Curious fans quickly asked about Lisa’s whereabouts in the post’s comments. One asked, “Where is Lisa in this!?!” and another echoed, “Was wondering the same.”
Jody addressed the speculation directly before removing the post, writing, “We’ve gone our separate ways, but I still care about her deeply and want the best for her.”
The couple had first been spotted together in late 2022, months after Lisa’s divorce from her now ex-husband, Lenny Hochstein, who quickly began dating model Katharina Nahlik. While Jody has spoken publicly about the split, Lisa has yet to comment.
Fans might remember that Lisa had previously spoken very highly of Jody. In interviews and on the show, she often praised him for his kindness and support, saying things like, “He’s such a positive presence in my life, always encouraging me to be my best self” and calling him “one of the most thoughtful people I know.”
Lisa hasn’t publicly commented on the breakup yet , but her past praise for Jody reminds fans how deeply invested she once was. Early on, she also told Entertainment Tonight that Jody was “different to what I’m used to,” adding that he “has empathy, he cares, wants to motivate me to do better, be my best,” qualities she said were unlike what she experienced in her marriage.
Yet not everyone in the Bravo universe saw Jody through those same rose?colored lenses. Castmate Larsa Pippen stirred drama by openly questioning his intentions, telling the group, “He’s using you. He’s not good for you,” and even claiming, “Honestly, I’m concerned about her. Because I think he wants her money, her access.” Larsa also alleged that he was “controlling” and closely involved in Lisa’s professional calls.
Despite the fights and public scrutiny, Lisa stood by him at times. In response to Larsa’s suggestion of a false narrative around Jody’s demeanor, she defended him fiercely, saying portrayals of him being angry were “so fake it’s gross” and that he had been “kind enough to come and support me with this and the death of my father.”
Their chemistry had been a frequent topic of discussion among RHOM viewers, making the sudden news of their split all the more surprising.
