My thoughts on seeing this is maybe Fredrik will bring out a fun, lighter side of Bethenny.
Fredrik is back in NYC after about a week of celebrating his 40th birthday in Italy and France with his husband, Derek. He was also celebrating his new line of rosé. Once he returned he had a couple more reasons to celebrate.

In case you missed it, Fredrik and Bethenny have a new Bravo show. Their new series “follows two fan favorite powerhouses, Bethenny Frankel and Fredrik Eklund, as they come together in their new venture as real estate moguls and business partners. Viewers will watch as they tackle the ups and downs of scouting, buying and designing multimillion-dollar properties. The series shows a side of Bethenny and Fredrik, often through their humorous dynamic, that fans have never seen before as they make big flipping gambles in the hopes of even bigger payouts.”
Also, upon Fredrik’s return, he purchased another posh NYC apartment at 1 Seaport, an all glass building that he holds all the listings on. The property is a two bedroom on the 46th floor that seems to be a step down from his current apartment. Don’t get me wrong, the new place is glorious. But I think he bought it as an investment and possible rental property. I thought it might have some connection to the show, but it is a brand new property and not something that needs flipping. Also, I have this vague memory of him in a high rise last season talking about what a great deal all the listings were and thinking about buying one himself. Maybe. I could be making that all up.
At any rate, Fredrik’s life just gets better every single day. There is something about his successes that just make me super happy for him.
Fredrik, Ryan and the new guy return to our TVs on Thursday, May 25 when the new season of MDLNY premieres at 9 pm EST.
Ooh! This looks good!
You are right, Frederik’s Instagram is just delicious. Makes me want to sit outside at a farm table with fine china and old starched, white table cloths with vases full of flowers drinking Rose out of crystal.
I hope the show won’t be constant bickering. Doesn’t Fredrik have a baby on the way?
Having only adoration for Fredrik this business decision leaves me walking on Eklund’s best eggs.
Speaking of new shows, I loved the premier of “Second Wives Club” on E! It’s Housewives without the cat-fighting.
Are you going to do recaps, TT?
I like Fredrick but I already have my fill of Bethany on hw so prob won’t watch will read your blog about it though
Hopefully Fredrik can make Auntie B more fun. Hehe.
Bethanny is a turn off to me, literally. Like grab the remote. Fred can be fun but very nasty, to the detriment of his clients. I’ve been in real estate for years, courtesy & a handshake count immensely. Trust and respect. Neither of these two display those important business/social niceties. Oh well, maybe a catfight a’coming.
Funny aside, I’ve lived in Fire Island Pines for years (straight girl, favorite uncle lives there). Bethany came to visit, I think it was on the show. First thing I thought was “Get off my beach bitch”, then all the guys starting booing her, independant of me. We laughed our asses off.
Fredrik’s general positive attitude is infectious. But B is like hanging out with that Debbie Downer friend we all have. I too hope he lightens her up a bit. I used to enjoy her back in the day. Everything with her is (maybe understandably) just so dark these days. Here’s to Fredrik helping her turn that around.
P.S.
Tamara, your new mobile site skin looks and feels great. Very clean, super intuitive. Kudos as I know it’s a lot of work to make happen!
I love Fredrik. Am I mistaken in recalling that he is sober? If so, strange that he would have a wine product. Probably more likely that my memory is shot. 🙂
That video was so cringy to me. Why does this chick think she can dance? I hate that her bad behavior has been rewarded with a new show. Didn’t her failed talk show reveal she just not that likable?
Oh No! I have loved Fredrik for many seasons. He is positive, full of energy, funny, smart. Beth has become such a giant pain in the ass. If I never had to hear her speak I would be quite happy. I may check it out, but no guarantees from this girl. And what the fuck does Beth know about real estate? Her business must be, as others have said, in the dumper for her to do this.
