Former "Real Housewives of Orange County" star Kelly Dodd and her husband, former Fox News reporter Rick Leventhal, have decided to part ways with their stunning Westhampton, LI mansion — selling it for $1.16 million, according to The Post.
Although they once described the property as a "place of cherished memories," the couple now faces a harsh reality. Sources close to the pair revealed that financial pressures were a major driving force behind this decision.
"With their new life in Southern California bringing increased expenses and mounting financial strain, they had to reevaluate the practicality of holding onto such a luxury property," the source shared.
This mansion, once the site of Kelly and Rick’s romantic beginnings, has now become a testament to the inevitable changes in their lifestyle. Decisions like these highlight not only the financial challenges they face but also the hidden struggles behind the glamorous facade of celebrity life.
