Celebrity plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein, age 57, and his girlfriend, Austrian Model Katharina Mazepa, who have been dating since May 2022, have taken a significant step in their relationship as they announce their engagement. The famed Florida-based plastic surgeon, known for his marriage to The Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein, shared the news through a joint Instagram post with his new fiancée, Mazepa, who is 27 years old. News of Hochstein's newfound romance surfaced mere days following his announcement of parting ways with Lisa Hochstein, his spouse of 13 years. Lenny Hochstein and his estranged wife, Lisa, 41, married in 2009. The former couple share two kids—son Logan, 8, and daughter Elle, 3—and are now entangled in a contentious divorce.
Atop an ancient pirate cave, bathed in the sunset's glow against the backdrop of stunning Es Vedrá, a small island off the southwestern coast of the Spanish island of Ibiza, Hochstein knelt down and proposed to Mazepa, presenting the former Miss Vienna, 2014, with a jaw-dropping radiant-cut diamond engagement ring.
Rare Carat's CEO, Ajay Anand, estimates her dazzling radiant-cut diamond to be around 12 carats. According to Anand, the enormous diamond takes center stage as a solitaire stone, deliberately devoid of accent design elements. This intentional choice highlights the diamond’s nearly colorless nature and boasts an exceptionally high level of clarity. According to Mike Fried, CEO of The Diamond Pro, a diamond of this substantial size, boasting exceptional quality, is a rarity and consequently commands a notably high price. Fried estimates the ring’s value might be as much as $1.5 million. Fried elaborated that discovering a diamond of such high quality in this carat range is an extraordinary occurrence, and the process of choosing the exact diamond for Katharina likely involved extensive planning over weeks. The sheer size and breathtaking beauty of her diamond is undeniably awe-inspiring.
Radiant-cut diamonds harmoniously blend the rectangular shape and softened corners of an emerald-cut diamond with a modified brilliant cut, creating a mesmerizing brilliance akin to that seen in princess-cut diamonds. They’re a prime choice for those seeking the allure of a rectangle-shaped diamond coupled with an intense radiance. While commonly rectangular, radiant-cut diamonds can also take on a square form.
