Bethenny Frankel too afraid to date
Bethenny Frankel is "afraid" to date. The Real Housewives of New York City star - who has been married twice and previously dated Tom Villante and was engaged to Paul Bernon for three years until May 2024 - can't "bring herself" to start looking for love again because the bad experiences she has had in the past has made her too "hesitant" to put herself back out there. She said in a TikTok video: "I'm afraid to date. It's not like I'm actually actively afraid. It's like, I am so hesitant, because you know how, like, when you get food poisoning, you're just scared to eat that food again, even though rationally you know that, like, you're likely not gonna get food poisoning again from that same food, but you just can't bring yourself to do it?" The 54-year-old star explained her reluctance came "after all of these months of not dating at all" and just when she thinks she might give it a go, she "runs away". She said: "I dip my foot in and think I'm gonna do it, and then start talking to someone, and then I run away. "I like stick my foot in the pool and then I'm like, 'It's too cold. I don't want to go in,' and I'm doing that a lot. "So maybe one day that pool will be warm enough and it'll be a beautiful enough day to like get in, but until that day, I'm not even dipping my toe in anymore." The Skinny Girl founder - who has daughter Bryn, 15, with second ex-husband Jason Hoppy - previously admitted the guys she likes can find her intimidating. She told the Hot Mess podcast: 'What I run into is extremely successful men that by anybody's standards are very wealthy, very successful, very smart. "Then they meet someone like me, but they start to question their own business. How successful they are. No matter what, it will be intimidating. It just will on some level." And she admitted dating in the public eye can be difficult. She said: "People think because you're photographed with one person that you're all of a sudden married again or engaged again. 'And I've tried to keep things on the DL because of Miami, and you know the paparazzi is worse there than anywhere."

Bethenny Frankel BLASTS 'miserable' Joy Behar for ripping apart her breasts following SI Swimsuit runway walk
Bethenny Frankel called out Joy Behar for ripping apart her appearance on national television after recently walking the 2025 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show. In her latest Instagram post, the former Real Housewives of New York City star, 54, sat outside in a straw hat and a white bralette top as she shared her reaction to the 82-year-old comedian's recent comments about her. 'So, Joy Behar took a swipe at me on The View. Whoopi [Goldberg] mentioned that I was talking about the show saying that none of us looked that way that we looked two hours prior, it took a lot of work and glam team,' Bethenny said. She continued: 'And Joy's response was "I appreciate her candor, but she has fake boobs.' The Skinny Girl mogul also shared that her breasts are real, but credited their high and perky appearance to a breast lift that she got '15-20 years ago.' 'These are a lift from like 15-20 years ago, I had very large, big boobs in high school that were saggy, floppy and this is actually a lift, Joy,' the mother-of-one clarified. Bethenny went on to say that one thing The View does is shows that women in their 40s, 50s and older 'can live their lives freely with happiness and with joy and we're not washed up miserable older women.' 'And I actually feel sorry for Joy that she hasn't lived her life or doesn't seem to be living her life with any joy. 'Because you have to be really miserable to take a swipe at something that is literally self-deprecating and literally leveling the playing field saying yeah, we all look like this but we had a lot of work that day. Bethenny was just getting warmed up in her rant and criticized Behar for kicking her when she was down. 'Sadly Joy is painting the picture of the older seemingly miserable washed up woman that all of us are trying to show we aren't,' Bethenny said. 'So you keep being happy, you keep living your life, you keep being the example of a woman of a certain age that you would be proud of. She concluded: 'And we have women like Joy Behar that remind us who we don't want to be. Have a good day.' Her post comes just a week after wowing the world on the catwalk in a slew of revealing swimsuits in Miami Beach. She left little to the imagination during the show, flaunting her incredibly toned physique in a barely-there polka dot bikini with a thong bottom at one point. Fans were left in awe of her svelte figure, and many couldn't help but wonder what the reality star has been doing both diet and fitness-wise to look that good. Thankfully, Bethenny spoke exclusively with about how she stays in shape. And though people may be begging her for her workout routine, it actually turns out that she doesn't hit the gym - at all. 'I don't work out. I just stay active in ways that feel natural - walking, moving, living. I don't force it,' she dished. 'I walk. That's my main form of movement.' Bethenny explained that having a 'healthy relationship with food and exercise' is what keeps her body looking so fit. 'I self-regulate,' she continued. 'Sometimes I'm super active and eat clean, and sometimes I rest and indulge. 'I go through phases, like everyone, but I always come back to center. It's about balance, not extremes.' She revealed that for 10 days leading up to the show, she made an extra 'effort to care for herself.' 'I slept more, ate well, stayed hydrated, and created space to just feel good,' explained the star. 'It wasn't about "getting ready" for a moment - it was about being good to myself.' As for her skin routine, she revealed that she believes the 'key' to keeping her complexion youthful is 'consistency.' 'I keep it consistent - that's key. I cleanse, tone, use a vitamin C serum, layer on rich creams, SPF, and I rotate in masks, exfoliation, and deep cleansing,' she added. 'I stick to what works and do it regularly.'

They continued: 'You've always been beautiful but I think you're glowing from the inside out!!!' Bethenny's new life in Florida is clearly good for her as her fans were right, she's never looked better. She recently revealed the reason she moved from New York to Florida. Fans lauded her with compliments in the comment section Fans lavished comments on the Skinny Girl mogul, telling her how hot she looks and showing appreciation for how dedicated she must be to have such a banging body The comments were all very complimentary with one writing 'Wow while someone else wrote, 'Unreal!!! Love you!!!,' and a third said, 'Damnnnn girl' The reality TV personality said she felt like she was 'drowning' so she ultimately decided to move her and her daughter Bryn out of the city. She previously explained that their move was for 'personal and professional reasons' and sparked fan concern that she was relocating for political motives. In a TikTok video she posted earlier this month, she said that a 'series of events transpired' earlier this year so she decided to sell their home. '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,' the star said. '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,' she said. Frankel said living with just her daughter Bryn, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, in an overly spacious house 'was drowning me.' 'It was just the two of us,' she said. 'It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life. 'I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I'd be entertaining there a lot.' She continued: 'The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard, it was a historical house, it had all this property, and it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents. 'It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn't really know many people in that community. It was lonely.' She said she didn't want to be 'home alone' so she decided to 'simplify' their space. 'My simplification is someone else's complication because I'm still going to be in a beautiful home, but I just took on too much,' she explained. 'And the idea of something was different than the reality of it,' she continued. Frankel also added that she originally planned to downsize in four years when her daughter would be heading off to college, but she decided to go ahead with it now because of a 'moment.' 'This situation was drowning me and something else was distracting her and neither of us would say it out loud because this is just what it was,' she said cryptically. 'The moment it became about her, I was able to be honest with myself about how I felt and it freed both of us. I think I'll be lighter and brighter and happier in the coming months.'

Bethenny Frankel, 54, reveals what it would take to make her 'retire' from her business empire
Bethenny Frankel is already thinking about retirement despite being more than a decade younger than the standard age. But in a new interview, the 54-year-old Real Housewives Of New York City alumna admitted that it would take one major thing to make her finally give up the business empire she has cultivated since in recent years: 'a billionaire.' And not just any billionaire, she told ADWEEK, but a billionaire with 'a big boat.' After making it clear that her finances were doing just fine, the former reality star admitted: 'I would definitely retire — like, if I end up with some billionaire on some big boat.' Bethenny — who put her Connecticut home on the market for $8 million last month — made the admission during a conversation on the main stage at the magazine's Social Media Week event while chatting with is chief content officer, Zoë Ruderman. In the six years since she ended her second stint on RHONY in 2019, Bethenny has emerged as a social media star with 3.8 million Instagram followers and 2.8 million TikTok fans, and she added that she wouldn't be able to give up her newer passion. Even if she gave up her regular business obligations to live the sweet life on a billionaire's superyacht, she thought she would still 'end up doing social media on the boat.' In fact, she said she was even looking to hire more people for her social media team, and she joked to the audience, 'We'll hire everybody.' Bethenny's most recognizable success, her SkinnyGirl brand, was first unveiled in 2009, the year after RHONY premiered. She began by releasing a diet book and a follow-up recipe guide, followed by an exercise DVD and an audiobook. But the branding broke out with the release of her branded pre-mixed Skinnygirl line of margaritas. Soon, the Skinnygirl branding had spread to a line of other popular cocktails, and the success of the diet-focused alcoholic beverages led Beam Global — now known as Suntory Global Spirits — to snatch up the line for around $120 million just two years after it was introduced. But Bethenny saw the value in her Skinnygirl name and only sold the rights to the alcohol brand while allowing her to keep using the name for other products. It was soon plastered across all kinds of foods, clothing, and most recently cookware lines that debuted in 2021. The reality phenomenon expanded her empire into property flipping, which she collaborated on with Million Dollar Listing star Fredrik Eklund for the single-season reality series Bethenny & Fredrik, which aired from 2017 to 2018. Bethenny urged influencers chasing her success to 'be honest' and 'authentic' and avoid 'kissing the a** of brands that don't notice them' for clout or deals; seen May 2 in Miami Beach During her on-stage conversation, Bethenny — who shares her 15-year-old daughter Bryn Hoppy with her ex Jason Hoppy — gave some crucial advice for anyone hoping to have success rivaling hers: 'Be honest' and 'be authentic.' Although plenty of brands and businesses claim authenticity in hopes of appealing to customers, she emphasized that the real thing — and not just empty talk — attracts fans. She theorized that influencers who give fans a glimpse into their lives had become so popular in recent years because 'the world got so sick of filtered B.S.' that corporations had pumped out. But she also called out influencers who went to extremes to pander to big brands in hopes of making a quick buck. Part of staying true to yourself requires influencers to avoid 'kissing the a** of brands that don't notice them [or] care about them,' she said. 'They don't want you. She compared those influencers who are desperate for corporate sponsorships to a high schooler 'trying to get the cool girl to be your friend.' Earlier this month, Bethenny revealed that she had gotten slightly closer to her yachting fantasy after she and her daughter moved from New York City to Miami after Bryn had begged to move to the Sunshine State. The social media star had planned a move to Florida years down the line, but after realizing that she was tired of spending much of her time in an isolating Connecticut mansion, she put it on the market and headed south.

Hearing Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Crowd Sing ‘Exile' Was an ‘Out of Body' Experience for Bon Iver
Taylor Swift's Folklore collaboration 'Exile' never made it onto the fixed setlist for the Eras tour, but on the rare occasions that she selected the record as a surprise song, her stadium audiences filled in for Bon Iver, who never got a chance to perform it with her during the extensive run of live shows. Still, even watching the crowds sing from afar was a surreal experience for him. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Justin Vernon described hearing the audience sing 'Exile' as 'out of body,' adding: 'I saw those clips and I'm like, 'Gosh, they sound better than one of me can sound.' No really, it was pretty powerful to just see that and to hear how that sounded. It was amazing.' More from Rolling Stone Mumford & Sons and the Lumineers Are Done Stompin' SZA Says She Offered to Write With Taylor Swift - and She Was 'Open to It' Watch Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams, Bad Bunny Perform at iHeartRadio Music Awards 'Sadly, I didn't ever get to sing it with her on her tour,' Vernon said. But Swift did make a surprise appearance at a Bon Iver concert in London in 2022 to perform 'Exile.' They were also accompanied on stage by the National's Aaron Dessner, with Swift describing them as 'the most talented men in the world.' That night in London, after Swift made her exit, Vernon followed up the frenzy-sparking moment with 'Skinny Love.' On Fallon, the musician shared a recent voicemail he received from a neighbor back in Wisconsin telling him a contestant on The Voice would be performing the classic For Emma, Forever Ago song. 'Hey, Justin. This is Brian, your neighbor. Just thought I'd let you know on 'The Voice' tonight, there's a couple of girls singing 'Skinny Girl' on there,' he said. 'Just thought I'd let you know if you're around. It's on 'The Voice' tonight. Channel 13. Talk to you later. Have a good day. Bye.' Brian's wife texted Vernon shortly after to apologize for the 'Skinny Girl'/'Skinny Love' mixup. On April 11, Vernon will release his fifth album as Bon Iver, the first since 2019. 'The previous four albums were a cycle of seasons that is now complete,' he shared in a statement when announcing the new record earlier this year. 'SABLE, fABLE is a canvas for truth laid bare.'
