After two years of dating, Bethenny Frankel has spilt up with her producer boyfriend Paul Bernon. There doesn’t seem to be any juicy gossip about the reason for the breakup. Being separated by space and perhaps having more time with her daughter during the pandemic contributed? It seems the two were last spotted together in August.
US Weekly was the first to report this story.
I would say that Bethenny is back on the market, but she recently revealed that after an eight year divorce battle she is still married to Jason Hoppy! New reports indicate that Jason is pushing the judge to sign off on it and Bethenny’s lawyers are causing some sort of a hold up. Divorces should not need to take this long!
Meanwhile, Bethenny’s new podcast has leap frogged to number one in record time. She has some A list guests like Mark Cuban and Hillary Clinton. Clearly she has great connections for guests. Is anyone hear listening? Can we get a recap or a review in comments?
I’ve yet to try out Bethenny’s podcast. I’ve also yet to try out Hillary Clinton’s new podcast. Maybe I’ll finally try them out soon.
So why is Bethenny now dragging it out? During the early year, it seemed like Jason was demanding delays in court. How much longer before their divorce breaks records for the world’s longest lasting case in divorce court?
If she is the one delaying now, I wonder if it has anything to do with her malpractice lawsuit against her former attorney. The one that drew up the improper trust documents granting Jason half of the Tribecca apartment and a more generous settlement in the event of a divorce.
Maybe so. My understanding is that custody was worked out first, YEARS ago. And then a few years later it seemed as though they reached an agreement on financials. And then… it seemed like it was done. And it just stalled and Bethenny wants something else… not sure what but your comment seems like a plausible explanation.
My understanding is that the money was settled but custody is still an issue. Bethenny wants full custody which I think is wrong. Bren has 2 parents and seems to thrive with both. Bethenny needs to let this and the marriage go!
PixnTrix, The custody was settled last year after a lengthy trial. Pretty sure Bethenny and Jason share Joint Physical and Legal Custody of Bryn.
Yep, I have a few minutes today only because the subject we can’t mention here is literally on holiday (polls closed here).
I can’t throw any shade at Bethenny for her long term divorce since mine set records in my county at 18 1/2 years. (He wouldn’t sign anything ever and kept coming back with new and different demands). Finally it took the judge assigning a mediator who informed him all the money and property he was fighting over had been spent in legal fees.
Bethenny may not be willing to move on emotionally either – we get that way when we’ve been seriously burned. Not to mention her own family of origin issues. Does Bethenny need a permanent significant other in her life? Not everyone does. She and her daughter seem to be in a great place and she has lots of professional and charitable activities.
I totally agree with you. Omg, I can’t even imagine the emotional toll you went through with your ex dragging your divorce out.
Boo hoo!
I must’ve missed the article that names who shall be nameless here because I have no friggin clue who you are talking about! Is there more than one who shall remain nameless or is there only one? Can someone give me a hint??? (I suck at initials, so maybe a rhyme to their name would clue me in). I’ve been wanting to ask this for so long..
I’ve listened to a couple of Bethenny’s podcasts. They’re great. It’s her just being her and talking unfiltered. I actually just listened to the one with Dorinda & then the one with Paris Hilton this morning.
Give it a try, they aren’t super long.
I listened to the podcast with Mark Cuban and enjoyed it. The thing with Bethany is, she comes across as approachable and authentic which resonates with people. I like the fact that she’s not afraid to call out bs. So don’t expect Nene or Ramona to make an appearance any time soon.
I need to get into podcasts more, I never seem to get the chance. I love her on shark tank though, so I would be she is great on her podcast.
I love Bethenny but I have a feeling she’s not so easy to live with. She’s a bit high strung demanding. But hey she makes great TV. I wish her the best.
Gasp, shocking! She’s obviously not good at relationships and should just focus on her child and business/charities. She’s always on, always one upping, always talking about how great she is. That’s draining on a guy.
In California you can bifurcate the status of the marriage which essentially lets you terminate the status so the parties may re-marry. Child support, property issues, etc can be determined after that.
I find her to be exhausting and emotionally unstable. Someone has to be unstable to have that many conflicts and no long term friends, family relationships, or long term partners. As far as her podcast it was suppose to be about business with business leaders. After Mark Cubin she resorted to tired and old real housewives talk.
Doesnt surprise me, Bethanny would be HELL to be in a relationship with.. She never shuts up and its all about her.. Just like Carol said, she would talk about her life and problems and suddenly it was all about Bethanny.. Thats a hard friendship to have.. Even in the episodes where she was marrying Jason. No matter what he said or did it all changed to her. It would be exhausting!
I am going to start listening to her podcast now that I’m done with Emily in Paris (Netflix) and have time while choring. Yes, chores. I couldn’t imagine being in a relationship with her tho. She’s got to be exhausting. She needs to really finalize that divorce tho. It’s time. Imagine those lawyer bills……
I don’t get above posters bitching about Bethenny; she has to look after herself her whole life because nobody else did.
You could see what a toxic, gaslighting arsehole Hoppy was in the spinoff series; anyone “Inside Jason” as opposed to “outside Jason”?
Carol was just pissed off that Bethenny called out her cocklodger boyfriend as an opportunist – which is what he was.
That’s not true. Jason was really well liked in that spin-off and Bethenny looked like a crazy nutjob, crying over birthday parties. It’s always all about Bethenny and how everything affects Bethenny. She takes things to the extreme. She didn’t have that bad of a life. People have had way worse and didn’t end up millionaires.
I miss Bethanney!
Paul really dodged a bullet. Maybe the quarantine allowed him to see how peaceful life could be without Bethenny’s constant angst and drama. Maybe it’s the fact that she’s still married to Jason after years and years. Most likely not getting divorced due to $$ she’ll have to pay. It’s sad for Brynn that so many boyfriends have come and gone from her life. Truly believe Bethenny is better off on her own with her child, work, and charities.
