Bethenny Frankel Says She’s “Very Excited” About Her Engagement To Paul Bernon!

Bethenny Frankel is opening up about her recent engagement with boyfriend Paul Bernon.

“I’m very excited, and it’s really wonderful,” the former Real Housewives of New York City star told Extra.

While the Skinnygirl mogul lives in the Big Apple, she admits that she hasn’t decided if she’ll get married there.

“I’m not sure,” she said. “I’m not sure. I mean, I love New York. I’m not sure.”

The Skinnygirl mogul has been dating Bernon on and off for three years. Frankel was first linked to the 43-year-old businessman in 2018. 

But the pair got back together after they were spotted hanging out in Miami in January 2021.

However, the couple sparked engagement speculation last month after Frankel was spotted rocking a giant diamond ring on the beach in Florida on Saturday, March 20.

Frankel’s engagement to Bernon came after her divorce from ex-husband Jason Hoppy was finalized, according to PEOPLE.

Hoppy and Frankel got married in 2010 and separated in December 2012. Frankel filed for divorce a month later. Though they reached a financial settlement in July 2016, the exes remained at odds over custody of their 10-year-old daughter Bryn for years.

While the twosome split in 2012 after less than three years of marriage, they didn’t finalize their contentious divorce until recently. Frankel’s rep confirmed to Us Weekly on Tuesday, March 23, that a judge signed off on their divorce judgment on January 20.
