Hold your horses on any Hochstein divorce drama for Season 7 of “The Real Housewives of Miami.”
“It’s not about Lisa and Lenny this season,” Alexia Nepola told Page Six with a laugh at the star-studded premiere horse racing experience 2025 Pegasus World Cup in Hallandale Beach, Fla., on Jan. 25.
Her BFF and “RHOM” co-star, Marysol Patton, added that Lisa “got the message” after her contentious split, which was finally settled last November, dominated her storyline for nearly two years.
Before moving on, however, Nepola snuck in one final jab at her pal’s ex-husband.
“Nobody cares about Lenny, honestly, and nobody cares about [his fiancée Katharina Mazepa],” the “Cuban Barbie” — who was decked out for the races in a bright pink Pucci outfit — told us.
“I think that Lisa made him famous and that’s the only reason why we’re talking about him.”
Nepola teased that the new season of “RHOM” will give fans lots of reasons to tune in, noting that newbie Stephanie Shojaee was a “good addition” and “comes in strong” into the series.
“She’s definitely ‘Housewives’ material, very opinionated, [and] she has the lifestyle. She’s really engaging,” the Alexia + Frankie’s Beauty Bar owner gushed — before revealing she actually gets into a tiff with Shojaee, 40, at some point.
“They always come for me. They always come for the star of the show,” Nepola said before jokingly strutting away on the pink carpet at the Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino.
She then concluded, “No, but seriously, I really do like her and I think she’s a great addition.”
Later in the interview, Nepola, 57, put all kidding aside as she shared how Patton, 58, had really been there for her as a friend throughout Season 7, as she navigated her divorce from husband Todd Nepola.
“Marysol and I have such a strong friendship. … More than ever, I guess this season because she was there by my side, so you’ll see that,” she told us.
“I get emotional … because that’s the only reason why I guess I’m so good is because I have great friends that are like my family.”
Patton then chimed in, “You’re going to make me cry. I cried all season.”
Nepola joked that they’re “cry babies” but said it’s because they’re “very genuine” and that’s why “people like to tune in” to their show because “everything’s happening in real time.”
Season 7 of “RHOM” wrapped filming last December, but a premiere date has not yet been announced.
Aside from Nepola and Patton, celebs such as Mike Tyson, Ja Rule, Winnie Harlow, Dave Portnoy, Lele Pons, David Grutman and Isabela Grutman were also spotted enjoying themselves at the racing event.
Guests were treated to delicious bites, including cheeseburger sliders, tacos, pizza and crisp cocktails like espresso martinis, wine and more as they witnessed White Abarrio win the $3 million Pegasus World Cup with a lightning speed performance.
The stars then danced the night away to the sounds of DJs Diplo and Black Coffee.
