Bethenny Frankel is going hard to let the world know she’s found love!
The “Real Housewives of New York City” alum has gone all out with her new beau on social media, keeping fans talking. This comes almost two years after she split from her former partner and fiancé, Paul Bernon, after a six-year-long romance.
Love has found its way into Bethenny Frankel’s life one too many times. She was first briefly married to Peter Sussman from 1996 to 1997 and then to Jason Hoppy for six years from 2010. In between these prominent partners, the reality TV star has been in several other relationships.
Frankel has fed the eyes of her followers with a cute photo declaring her relationship status online with a sweet dose of PDA. The media personality shared a picture of herself and her new boyfriend, Shane L. Campbell, in roller skates at a rink, locking lips.
The photo featured the pair, all lovey-dovey, with Campbell’s arms wrapped around the former TV star’s waist while she held his face as they kissed. The lovers were dressed in casual outfits with alternate color schemes. Frankel donned a pair of blue jean pants with a white tank top, while Campbell looked comfy in white shorts and a blue button-up shirt.
The former “RHONY” star teased about going official with her new lover in the caption, writing, “If a launch [airplane emoji] is hard, this is a diamond… [diamond emoji].” The post officially proves the rumors to be true after the pair raised eyebrows last month.
Frankel spilling the tea with this move has got fans gushing with over 100,000 reactions and almost 3,000 comments. Many expressed their happiness for the former reality TV star, sending congratulatory messages. “Love this for you, beautiful,” a commenter wrote. “Wishing you two all the very best in life and love,” another added, while another penned “Congratulations on finding the joy!! Excellent.”
Other commenters flooded in with several heart emojis. At the same time, some fans expressed that they were glad the mom of one was giving love another chance, especially after her last failed relationship, which almost ended at the altar.
“Amazing! Everyone deserves to find love again. We may get it wrong the first time, and it’s scary to open back up, but when it comes from nowhere, maybe even God sent, you can’t ignore it, and you have to enjoy the happiness it brings,” a user penned.
The ‘RHONY’ Alum Previously Advised Fans Not To Settle
Frankel revealed that she was in a relationship with Campbell when they stepped out together at the 2026 Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach last month. The lovers were seen sharing a warm embrace among the crowd.
Two days later, the mom of one hopped on Instagram, gushing about her new man and urging her fans to “not settle for men who don’t take the time to make a plan.” At the time, she had not spoken publicly about her new boyfriend, but shared details that she had met the mystery man she was seeing a while ago and had recently reconnected.
The media personality detailed that they went to a bar with friends before going out exclusively on a “five-hour date.” E! News reported that Frankel described the several dates she went on with Campel as “very planned out and very intentional and very chivalrous.”
She shared more details about how romantic her new partner is, then advised her followers not to settle for the bare minimum. “A man has to have a plan, move the ball forward, and show you exactly how they feel about you,” she said.
Inside The Bravo Star’s Romantic Experiences
The reality television star is in a good position to offer advice on relationships, as she has treaded in the waters of love several times over the years.
Her first marriage to entertainment industry executive Sussman was for less than a year, although the former couple had known each other for five years. Frankel later described the union as a mistake made too young, citing a lack of passion.
She stayed away from love for years till 2010 when she tied the knot with Hoppy. The pair welcomed a daughter, Bryn, before separating two years later. Their split turned into a long and bitter legal fight involving custody battles, financial disputes, and harassment allegations before the divorce was finally settled in 2021, as reported by The Blast.
Before her divorce was finalized, she began dating banker Dennis Shields, and they became engaged in April 2018. The former lovers had a rocky relationship that went on and off for years until they ended their engagement. Sadly, Shields passed away months after ending their engagement.
Frankel’s heartstrings were tuned once again in late 2018 by real estate developer Paul Bernon, whom she met on a dating app. They split briefly in 2020, got back together, got engaged, and officially called it quits in 2024.
Bethenny Frankel Butt Heads With Her Lawyer Over Her Divorce
Frankel was involved in a $2 million lawsuit in which she claimed her former legal representative, Jamie Schreck, failed to properly draft documents related to her trust, which backfired during her divorce from Hoppy.
The legal brawl began in 2017 after the Bravo alum accused Schreck of malpractice. She hired him in 2011 to help her purchase a 3-bedroom property in New York for $4.95 million, which she claims she bought out of pocket.
She further alleged that Schreck did not consult her when drafting the trust, which ultimately gave her ex-husband a 50% interest in the home. The Blast reported that the attorney fired back, maintaining that he had no hand in any wrongdoing concerning the trust.
He claimed that any problems that arose from the trust agreement weren’t his fault but the actions of third parties, including Hoppy. He also claimed that he offered to settle the dispute for $25,000, but Frankel refused to settle and has failed to provide dates for her deposition since 2022.
