Bethenny Frankel says she's “still married” to ex Jason Hoppy, despite separating almost eight years ago.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum the shocking revelation during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen when host Andy Cohen asked Frankel if she had any plans to marry her boyfriend, Paul Bernon.
“Are you and Paul talking marriage?” Cohen asked Frankel on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, according to Us Weekly.
After Frankel replied, “I’m still married,” Cohen was shocked.
“Crickets again! And scene,” she quipped. “And we’re back. And we’re walking.”
Cohen responded, “You’re killing me.”
Bethenny filed for divorce from Hoppy at the start of 2013 and it was confirmed as settled in 2016. However, “Jason and Bethenny are still technically married,” Hoppy's attorney Robert Wallack told E! News.
“The judgment was never issued because an order of protection was issued by the Criminal Court which impacted the previously agreed to joint custody arrangement and Frankel subsequently brought an application to modify the agreement (which gave rise to a multi-day hearing),” Judge Michael Katz told E! News through a court representative.
