The 'Real Housewives of Miami' star gave a relationship update during Bravo Fan Fast — and revealed why she still wears her wedding ring from ex-husband Lenny Hochstein

Lisa Hochstein and Jody Glidden are still going strong!

At Bravo Fan Fest in Miami on Saturday, Nov. 23, the Real Housewives of Miami star, 42, gave an update on her relationship with the founder and CEO of Postilize amid her ongoing divorce with Lenny Hochstein.

Lisa said her and Glidden are getting ready to host their second Thanksgiving and bring their blended families together.

"I love the holidays, [it] brings the most amazing feeling to me and my kids, seeing their little faces light up, the most wonderful time of the year," she tells PEOPLE. "I just did Canadian Thanksgiving because I'm Canadian and my boyfriend's Canadian. This is my second Thanksgiving. I invite everyone over — my boyfriend's ex-wife actually and her husband and his daughter and my kids. I love to open my home, I love to host."

She also shares whether or not she can envision walking down the aisle again. When asked on the carpet, she says she's "not opposed" to marriage and flaunted her ring finger (sans bling) in the direction of Glidden.

She was, however, rocking a diamond band on her middle finger and explained it was her wedding ring. "I'm saying this is the perfect finger for my old ring because I think it's pretty and I don't want it to sit in this safe and it could get stolen so I think it's better here. It's a pretty ring and it's going to go to my daughter one day."

Lisa confirmed she was dating Glidden in February 2023. "[He] has empathy, he cares," she told Entertainment Tonightin March 2023. She also said Glidden "wants to motivate me to do better, be my best. So, it's a lot of things that I'm not used to dealing with, or used to having from my previous relationship."

Lisa and Lenny, 58, a plastic surgeon, tied the knot in 2009 and welcomed son Logan, 9, and Elle, 5, during their marriage. The Hochsteins made their Real Housewives of Miami debut in the show's second season in 2012.

In May 2022, they announced they were breaking up after 12 years of marriage. Days later, Lenny filed for divorce from Lisa citing "irreconcilable differences."

Ahead of their split, rumors of a divorce swirled when they appeared at a Miami night club separately and had a minor altercation, Page Six reported.

"I'm blindsided by his behavior and reckless handling of the situation," Lisa told PEOPLE after the news of their divorced was announced.

Days later, Lenny made his relationship with Australian model Katharina Nahlik — who was reportedly at the nightclub with Lenny days prior.

"Nothing happened between [Katharina and I] until [Lisa and I] decided on the divorce, and Lisa was aware of my plans before anything happened between Katharina and myself," he told PEOPLE at the time.

In October 2022, Lisa gave an update on how she was coping amid the divorce. "These women are like my sisters," she said of her RHOM costars at BravoCon 2022. "Having to deal with what I'm going through privately and publicly for the whole world to see was so difficult."

"My kids get me through every day," Lisa continued. "It's been six months, and there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and hopefully I'm gonna get there soon."

She also called the divorce "an ongoing battle" in December 2022. "It's been really ugly and really nasty," she told PEOPLE at the time. "And unfortunately, the press has gotten hold of so many of these motions so we haven't been able to keep things private. It's just humiliating."

Lisa recently had to overcome another tough moment in life when she mourned the death of her father, who died in September. She tells PEOPLE at Bravo Fan Fest that it's "been a lot of emotions" and adds that dealing with death is one of the "most traumatizing life-changing experiences."

"I'm trying to find my light again, which I'm doing a good job at, I think," she shares.
