Who is Bethenny Frankel’s ex-fiancé, Paul Bernon?
PAUL Bernon is a film producer who is engaged to reality star Bethenny Frankel.
Frankel showed off a massive $1 million emerald-cut diamond ring while spending time with Bernon and her daughter.
He began his production career with the Joe Swanberg film Drinking Buddies, which starred Olivia Wilde, Jake Johnson, and Anna Kendrick.
He "began his business career working at a real estate investment trust and then acquired his first shopping center at the age of 24," according to his IMDb page.
"He is now a Managing Partner at Rubicon Real Estate, LLC, which owns and manages approximately 1.5 million square feet of investment property across the United States."
The Real Housewives of New York City star had been spotted wearing a huge ring on her left hand while spending time at the beach in Florida.
"It looks like she wore a three-stone ring that features a huge 8-10 carat emerald-shaped center stone set with two smaller emerald accent diamonds. We estimate to be around three carats total," said Apeksha Kothari, Chief Operating Officer at .
They have been seeing each other since 2018.
The engagement news comes after Bethenny and Jason Hoppy finalized their divorce on January 20, 2021.
Bethenny and the pharmaceutical executive Jason filed for divorce in 2013 after three years of marriage, but the split did not become official until 2021.
She and Bernon broke up in 2020 before getting back together again.
"So many people have tried to define my life - our lives - with ‘When are you getting engaged? When are you having a baby? When are you getting married?’" she told Ellen DeGeneres in 2020.
The outlet learned from a mutual friend of the couple that “it just wasn’t going to work” between the pair.
“They are so different – he’s an under-the-radar kind of guy,” the source said.
Do they have kids?
Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon did not welcome any children together during their six-year courtship.
