Kelly Bensimon, who starred on the “Real Housewives of New York,” won’t be walking down the aisle this weekend to get married.

The former reality star turned real estate agent called off her wedding with financier Scott Litner just four days before they were supposed to say “I do.”

“Ultimately, my decision is nobody’s business, but I understand that there is speculation and gossip, and I want to put an end to all of it,” Bensimon told People magazine.

“To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him. Full stop.”

Bensimon, 56, called off the wedding on Tuesday, and released a statement saying that she was “disappointed by this turn of events.”

“He thought that I would enter this union without legal protections in place, that I would leave everything to faith. But I’ve worked really, really, hard as a single mother and have always made smart decisions for myself and my family, and that will continue.”

The statement noted that Litner “refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, effectively stalling their engagement mere days before the wedding.”

Bensimon was previously married to famed fashion photographer Giles Bensimon for nine years before they divorced in 2006. The former couple has two daughters, Sea and Teddy.
