In a shocking revelation that has left fans of The Real Housewives of New York City stunned, Erin Lichy has opened up about wanting a divorce from her husband, Abraham “Abe” Lichy — and the timing couldn’t be more unexpected. The RHONY star, who recently welcomed a new baby into their growing family, says her marriage is “not what it looks like from the outside,” and that she’s been struggling behind the scenes for quite some time.
A Picture-Perfect Family Cracking Behind the Scenes
To viewers, Erin and Abe have always appeared to be the picture of a successful, loving couple: a beautiful life in New York City, a supportive marriage, and now, the joy of a new baby. But Erin is breaking the silence on the emotional turmoil she’s been experiencing.
“People see the Instagram posts, the matching outfits, the smiles — but they don’t see the late nights, the arguments, the disconnect,” Erin shared in an exclusive interview. “Bringing a new life into the world should have brought us closer. Instead, it made me realize how far apart we’ve grown.”
A Breaking Point Hidden Behind Baby Bliss
Sources close to the couple say that tensions have been building for months, with Erin feeling overwhelmed by the emotional labor of both motherhood and marriage. The arrival of their baby, while joyful, became a wake-up call.
“She expected support, emotional connection, and partnership,” a friend of Erin’s told us. “But instead, she felt alone — like she was doing everything herself.”
Erin reportedly began contemplating divorce shortly before the baby was born, but chose to wait until after the birth to confront the situation head-on.
Erin Speaks Her Truth
In her own words, Erin says the decision isn’t about anger or betrayal — it’s about protecting her peace and choosing what’s best for her and her children.
“I still care for Abe deeply,” she said. “But we’re not aligned anymore. I need to be honest with myself — and with my children — about what love, partnership, and happiness really look like.”
What’s Next for Erin?
As Erin navigates the complexities of motherhood and a potential divorce, she says her focus is entirely on her children. She’s also not ruling out sharing more of her journey on future episodes of RHONY — but only if it feels authentic and healing.
“I’m not here to fake anything,” she said. “This is my life. It’s messy, it’s emotional, but it’s mine. And I’m finally ready to take control of it.”
Fans React
Social media has erupted with mixed reactions. While many fans are sending Erin love and support, others are shocked by the suddenness of the announcement. Some speculate that cracks in the marriage had been hinted at during the last season of RHONY, but few expected such a dramatic turn — especially with a newborn in the picture.
As Erin Lichy faces an uncertain future, one thing is clear: she’s choosing honesty, strength, and self-worth over appearances — and that’s something many can admire.
