    Bensimon called it quits with the twice-divorced father of three on Tuesday afternoon, the same day we hear she was set to pick up her three wedding dresses from Kleinfeld’s.

    The former couple were set to say “I do” in Boston in Litner’s mother’s back yard in front of friends and family on Saturday.

    Along with the backyard Boston ceremony, the pair had planned to have a second blowout in the Hamptons.

    “When I first met him, I didn’t even say anything. I was speechless — which is not like me, I always have something to say,” she previously told People . “But he blew me away. He’s just a really special human.”

    In September, Bensimon put her downtown apartment up for rent — for a whopping $28,500 a month — and moved in with Litner .

    Just this month, she told Page Six she had almost wept while trying on wedding dresses.

    “I’m getting married later in life and I never thought this would happen,” she told us. “I just would not change this day and the leading up to it.”

    She was previously married to famed photographer Gilles Bensimon from 1997 until 2007.
