They reportedly split up two months ago, it was learned in early May. UsWeekly claimed that they are over for good after six years of an on-and-off romance.

‘They are so different – he’s an under the radar kind of guy,’ the source said. 

Frankel is known for hitting red carpets often and constantly posting about her personal life on social media.

This comes a week after she announced she is taking a break from her divorce podcast to grieve her mother’s death. 

The Real Housewives of New York City alum shared a statement via Instagram to share that she is taking the time and space to process the loss of her mother Bernadette Birk.

After taking down all episodes she has released in the past month since starting her iHeart Radio podcast Just B Divorced with Bethenny Frankel, she said she will ‘temporarily’ stop uploading episodes — where she candidly opened up about her ‘traumatic’ 10-year divorce from ex-husband Jason Hoppy.

She did not share a specific date of when she will return but said she will ‘continue this dialogue’ sometime ‘in the coming weeks.’

She announced that her mother — with whom she had a complicated relationship and was previously estranged for over a decade — passed away at age 73 last Friday following a battle with lung cancer. 

‘I have chosen to temporarily remove my divorce podcast as a result of an overwhelming response and an influx of messages that have converged with the most significant loss of my life,’ she wrote over a plain background on her Instagram Story. 



‘It’s impossible for me to grieve and process both of these traumatic events at the same time.’ 

‘The unforeseen circumstances and the reaction to this triggering topic has confirmed how important this conversation is,’ she continued. 

‘In the coming weeks, we will continue this dialogue to help you navigate your challenging divorce journeys.’ 

The reality TV personality went on to thank her Instagram followers and podcast listeners for their support.

‘I love you all and am so grateful to you for supporting me in both areas,’ she wrote alongside a red heart emoji. 

In a follow-up post, she clarified that the ‘influx of messages’ were not related to any pushback as ‘there has been no backlash.’ 

She explained that she was pausing because of the ‘overwhelming’ and ‘shocking success’ of her divorce podcast.

‘I simply can’t respond to the questions and demands at this time and will resume shortly,’ the entrepreneur said. 

Frankel and Hoppy, 53, were married for two years after tying the knot in 2010 and later announcing their separation in December 2012. 

The couple filed for divorce one month after their split in January 2013 and began a years-long custody battle over their daughter Bryn, 13. 

Frankel and the real estate agent reached a financial settlement in 2016 and finalized their divorce in 2021.
