Bethenny Frankel has made contestant headlines ever since she got her start in reality TV.
Frankel made her first reality TV appearance in 2005 on The Apprentice: Martha Stewart. She finished as the runner-up in the competition for her BethennyBakes business, which made egg-free, wheat-free and dairy-free cookies and meal delivery in New York.
Following her time on The Apprentice, Frankel began starring on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City in 2008. One year later, Frankel founded her soon-to-be lifestyle brand, Skinnygirl, known for its line of low-calorie cocktails and snacks.
Throughout her time on reality TV, Frankel married Jason Hoppy in 2010 and welcomed daughter Bryn that same year. The twosome separated in 2010 and went through a tumultuous legal battle resulting in their divorce not being finalized until 2021. The Bravo personality began dating Paul Bernon in 2018, however, the pair split in 2024.
Frankel’s latest headline centers around her move to Florida.
“The morning of March 19th, this wasn’t even a thought and by that evening, a series of events transpired and we decided it was the best move to move here,” Frankel said in a May 2025 TikTok video. “Within five weeks, [we] had sold and bought a home in both places. We’ll keep this apartment, but I sold my home and bought a house in Florida.”
