What Has Kelly Bensimon Been Up To?

Kelly Bensimon joined the cast of the Real Housewives of New York City in its second season and was definitely an addition that fans remember!

Despite being a full-time castmate, viewers felt as if they weren't getting a genuine version of Kelly, which many of her co-stars brought up during the season reunion. Luckily for the star, she certainly came into her own come her second go and fans definitely preferred Kelly 2.0.

While she definitely redeemed herself, Kelly burned just about every bridge during the "Scary Island" episode that fans are still confused about to this day. Although her lifestyle was one worth tuning in for, viewers couldn't stomach the star for much longer.

Kelly officially parted ways with Bravo following season 3, and has since taken on real estate!

While we know Kelly was a former model and founder of ELLE Accessories, the star did a major 180 and took on a completely new job. "I have always been in love with art and architecture and what's behind the incredible façades," Kelly told Architectural Digest.

"I'm passionate about real estate because it encompasses my love of aesthetics and the art of the deal." she finished. While she may have been new to the game, Kelly has become a pro and has since sold over $50 million worth of property!

Kelly isn't the only RHONY star to venture into real estate as former co-star, Ramona Singer is also underway when it comes to getting her license!

In addition to her spot at the Holly Parker Team, Kelly released her sixth, yes, SIXTH book back in 2017 titled The Second Course, all while running her very own blog titled, KKBLoves.com

If she isn't selling multi-million-dollar properties in one of the best cities in the world, Kelly continues to raise her two daughters, Sea and Thadeus, in New York City.

The star spoke about dealing with empty nest syndrome when both her kids fled New York for high education at Trinity College and the University of Mississippi. While she missed them tremendously, the trio is back together and Kelly couldn't be happier!
