Kelly Bensimon is engaged to boyfriend Scott Litner after a year of dating! But her upcoming wedding will be her second time walking down the aisle. She was previously married to celebrity fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon, with whom she shares two daughters, Sea and Teddy Bensimon.
Who are they? Read on to find out.
Who is Kelly Bensimon’s daughter?
Kelly Bensimon has two daughters, Sea and Teddy Bensimon, with her first husband Gilles Bensimon. But more than daughters, Sea and Teddy look like sisters to the RHONY star. In fact, Dailymail labelled them triplets when they wore puffer jackets and had similar blonde hairstyles in January 2022.
Reflecting on her role as a mother, Kelly says, “Raising children requires patience and commitment. Having the cake you want, the drink you want, smelling the flowers you like, and embracing yourself. It doesn’t matter if we’re stepmoms, adoptive moms, or single moms — we’re raising the next generation to be great. Let’s do it together.”
But the birds have left the nest. With both of them busy building their careers, Kelly misses them. “I wish my kids were home for Valentine’s Day, but they’re both in college and I’m a single mom. I’m lonely without them. I miss my girls so much,” she once wrote.
Meet Sea Bensimon, Kelly Bensimon, eldest daughter
Sea Bensimon is Kelly Bensimon’s oldest daughter.
After Sea was born, Kelly struggled with postpartum depression for two years until she became pregnant with her second daughter. The depression caused her so much anxiety that she was afraid to be alone with Sea. Added to that, with no one to turn to because women were not open about postpartum depression at the time, Kelly went through hell.
“I had a really bad postpartum period — really bad,” she said. “I mean I couldn’t drive. I was so anxious. I didn’t want to be alone.”
Additionally, Kelly added that her struggles were made worse by the absence of her then-husband, Gilles. “It was like I had just had a baby and my ex-husband had just left and gone on a trip and I was that baby by myself,” she recalled. “I was so young and none of my friends had kids. I was so scared. I loved her so much but I was really scared. I couldn’t drive. It was really, really bad.”
Sea Bensimon was born on May 6, 1998. That means she is 25 years old in 2023.
This also means that Kelly was 30 years old when she gave birth to Sea.
On Sea’s 19th birthday, Kelly wrote on her IG, “Happy 19th birthday to my beautiful @seabensimon. You are the most amazing girl and I am honored to be your mama bear.”
In 2023, Sea Bensimon worked as a Rights and Partnerships Coordinator (Sports) at United Entertainment Group. This was her first job after a series of internships.
Her internships have included — Lizzie Grubman Public Relations and Management · Internship (where she helped many potential clients in the sports and entertainment world), M&C Saatchi Sport & Entertainment NYC (where she worked at a public relations firm and created media lists, seed stories, collage articles, presentations, and helped find new clients and sponsors for the company), The New York Times (where she attended a spring program at the New York Times focused on sports media and sports reporting), and Food Bank For New York City (where she was a summer intern and created a blog detailing all the programs going on at the Food Bank during that time).
Additionally, she worked at SoulCycle Inc. for nine months behind the front desk, where she prepared and cleaned the room before and after class, handled check-ins, learned how to provide customer service, assisted with retail sales, and assisted with every detail to ensure both instructors and riders were well taken care of.
Regarding education, Sea studied Cinematography and Film/Video Production at the University of Southern California in 2015, Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2016, and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Sports and Fitness Management/Administration at the University of Mississippi from 2017 to 2021.
