Bethenny Frankel Splits From Boyfriend Paul Bernon After Two Years Of Dating!

Bethenny Frankel has split from her boyfriend Paul Bernon “a couple weeks ago,” according to Us Weekly. 

The Real Housewives of New York City alum began dating Bernon in October 2018. The two were first spotted packing on PDA in Boston, roughly two months after her on-off boyfriend Dennis Shields died in August 2018.

In July 2019, the former Skinnygirl mogul described how the pair’s romance allowed her to feel “happy in a way that’s different” than she had experienced before. “Not a high or a low, just a balance — which, if you know my personality at all, it’s not often that balanced,” she admitted on Live With Kelly and Ryan at the time. “But I feel just balanced and healthy.”

Two months later, the publication confirmed that the duo had taken a serious turn in their relationship by going house hunting together. Frankel and the movie producer were exploring homes in Massachusetts and Connecticut, but they weren’t limiting themselves to those states.

“They live together in the Back Bay area [in Boston] now,” an insider told Us Weekly at the time. “She has been spending a lot more time up there. They are house-hunting in the New England area.”

Frankel was previously married to Peter Sussman from 1996 to 1997. The businesswoman shares her 10-year-old daughter, Bryn, with estranged husband Jason Hoppy. The pair tied the knot in 2010, and they announced their split in 2012 after nearly three years of marriage.

However, she’s actually still married to Hoppy. 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.

Last month, Frankel revealed during an appearance on WWHL that she and Hoppy were still married. “I’m still married,” she told the host when he asked if she was considering getting married. “Crickets again! And scene.”
