Bethenny Frankel Ditches Date After Seeing Him, Reunites with Jill Zarin and Their Daughters

Bethenny Frankel has been pretty active on social media in recent years. In fact, it seems this is the area she wants her career to go in as she seems to take it seriously. Recently, the former Real Housewives of New York star took to TikTok to show off an outfit she planned to wear on a date. However, things took a turn. Additionally, the podcast host reunited with her former co-star Jill Zarin and their daughters. 

As fans of RHONY know, Bethenny and Jill were both OGs on the show. However, Jill departed in 2011. This recent reunion comes after she appeared on Bethenny’s podcast and revealed that she was caught off guard by the Bravo cameras being at her late husband’s funeral. Of course, the two have had ups and downs over the years. 

Bethenny recently shared to her TikTok followers that she was going out on a date. The RHONY alum showed off her outfit, which included a beautiful floral pink dress. She donned the outfit with a Dior handbag, a pair of Vince Camuto shoes, and assorted jewelry. 



Bethenny then compliments herself by saying, “That’s alright, right? Listen, gotta come in hot. Have a good night.”

However, the video then cuts to Bethenny in a car after something had clearly gone wrong. She then says, “Abort, abort. Not going on the date. Will explain later.”

In a later video, the RHONY alum explained what happened. Basically, she saw the man before the date was supposed to happen and decided he was not her type. 

“I saw him walking down the street, and the guy’s not my type,” said Bethenny adding that she didn’t want to “waste time” and preferred to go back home and hang out with her daughter.



Bethenny goes on to say that she doesn’t want to waste time on someone she knows isn’t for her. 

In other OG RHONY news, Bethenny recently posted a picture to her Instagram that features Jill and both their daughters. The caption on the image reads, “Cheers to the next generation… #motherdaughter #daughterlove #mommyandme#hamptons #weekend #girlsrule #rhony“

Despite it being a beautiful moment, there was a decent bit of negativity in the comments. Notably, people recalled their past drama and considered the reunion inauthentic. One person said, “You guys look great, but I just never feel good bout her. With age, I’ve learned that people never ever really change. Open your heart for the new and not the old. So many new and exciting people in our lives to meet. 💗🌸💗#lessonlearned“

Another said, “Instead of Rhony, this is phony! Sorry”

Other fans recall Jill’s behavior on Below Deck and still hold it against her. Still, many enjoyed seeing two of the women who started RHONY together in a photo.
