"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.

"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," Bensimon said.

The statement emphasized that Litner's refusal to sign the prenuptial agreement effectively halted their engagement just days before the wedding. Bensimon had previously been married to famed fashion photographer Giles Bensimon for nine years before they divorced in 2006. The former couple has two daughters together.
