"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.

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.
