According to The Enquirer, Kroft first met Goines in 2011 at a bar in the St. Regis hotel and struck up conversation with her. A source said:

Steve quickly told Lisan, ‘I have to see you again.’ A few weeks later, he arranged to meet her at another hotel for cocktails. After the drinks, he handed her a room key and told her it was the only way he ‘could be alone’ with her. There was a lot of kissing and touching, but he couldn’t spend the night because he had to get back to his wife.

The affair then supposedly moved to the Four Seasons hotel and went from luxury hotels to more low-end rooms as the relationship continued.

Goines was also married and reportedly did not want Kroft to leave his wife. A source said:

Lisan never wanted him to leave his wife, and she never contemplated leaving her husband and she told him it was best that it end.

In addition, the source said that Goines and Kroft broke up but still continued to see each other.
