Who Are Kelly Bensimon Daughters?
Kelly Bensimon shares two daughters, Sea and Teddy Bensimon, with her first husband Gilles Bensimon. But more than her daughters, Sea and Teddy looks like the RHONY star’s sisters. Infact, Dailymail labeled them to appear as triplets when they dressed in puffer jackets and their blonde tresses styled similarly in Jan 2022.
Reflecting on her motherhood, Kelly said, “Raising babies takes patience and commitment. Have the cake you want, the drink you want, smell the flowers you love, and appreciate you. It doesn’t matter if we are stepmothers, adopted mothers, or single mothers — we are raising the next generation for greatness. Let’s do it together.”
But the birds have left the nest. Since both of them are busy building careers, Kelly misses them dearly. “I wish my kids are going to be home for Valentine’s, but they are both in college and I am an empty nester. I am lonely without them. I miss my girls so much,” she once wrote.
Meet Sea Bensimon, Kelly Bensimon Older Daughter
Sea Bensimon is Kelly Bensimon’s oldest daughter.
After Sea arrived in this world, Kelly struggled with postpartum depression on and off for two years until she became pregnant with her second daughter. The depression left her so anxiety-ridden that she was terrified to be left alone with her Sea. Plus. having no one to turn to because women weren’t as open about postpartum depression at the time, Kelly went through hell.
“I had postpartum really badly — like really bad,” she said. “’I mean I couldn’t drive. I had so much anxiety. I didn’t want to be by myself.”
Also, Kelly added that her struggle was exacerbated by the absence of her then-husband, Gilles. “Like I literally gave birth to a child and my ex-husband just left and went traveling and I was this child by myself,” she recalled. “I was so young, and none of my friends had kids. I was petrified. I loved her so much but I was literally petrified. I couldn’t drive. It was really, really bad.”
