Bethenny Frankel House-Hunting With Married Man In New York?


Bethenny Frankel has been keeping her dating life separate from The Real Housewives of New York, as there are some things that she keeps away from the screen. For example, Bethenny hasn’t really gone into detail about her failed marriage and divorce, and she doesn’t film the show with her daughter Bryn around.

However, on last week’s episode of the show, Frankel did hint that she was possibly getting serious with someone, but she didn’t spill the beans when Luann de Lesseps asked her about him. And Frankel could be protecting her relationship from her co-star because she’s not interested in losing it.

According to a new New York Post report, Bethenny Frankel was supposedly spotted house-hunting with her boyfriend, Dennis Shields. Bethenny has yet to make her relationship public, but Dennis could have been the man she was referring to when she told her employees that she stayed up until 4 a.m. with an old friend — and that she saw some potential.

What does the report reveal? The New York Post revealed that Bethenny Frankel was spotted looking at apartments with Dennis in New York City this past week. Shields, who is the CEO of an outfit called LawCash, may be more than ready to settle down with Frankel. Dennis is legally married to someone Frankel knows from high school, Jill Schwartzberg. Dennis and Jill are legally separated, just as Frankel is separated from Jason Hoppy and is working toward her divorce.

Pictures surfaced this week of Shields and Frankel holding hands while house-hunting with Douglas Elliman broker Fredrik Eklund, a star of Million Dollar Listing New York. Of course, Frankel and Fredrik are friends, as he helped her find the place where she’s now running her Skinnygirl business. The report reveals that Bethenny and Dennis were looking at downtown apartments, ranging from $10 million to $30 million. They looked at a $29.99 million penthouse at 11 North Moore St., which comes with its own private pool. It doesn’t seem like Frankel would want to spend that kind of money on a home, so it is possible that she’s just helping him with a new home now that he’s separated.

Frankel hasn’t actually confirmed the relationship, even though the two of them were spotted holding hands earlier this week. Bethenny has been so vocal about Luann de Lesseps’ decision to date and sleep with married men, and when people learned that Dennis was still legally married, she faced quite the criticism on Twitter. And it sounds like Bethenny Frankel is willing to come clean; yes Dennis is married, just like she’s married — and separated, according to Bravo.

“She’s correct,” Bethenny revealed on Twitter in regards to Luann’s accusations about Frankel dating a married man, adding, “I’m dating a legally married separated man-so perfect bc i’m legally married too!”

Of course, Luann has been very vocal about Bethenny Frankel’s new relationship, even though she stole Thomas D’Agostino Jr. from Ramona Singer. Thomas and Ramona had dated a few times before Luann came into the picture, but she denies stealing Thomas away from her Real Housewives of New York co-star.

“Ramona would’ve loved to date Tom. Ramona is a friend of Tom’s. They went out a couple of times for dinner, and there was no interest there,” Luann has revealed about her relationship, according to Bravo. “So when Ramona says, ‘I dated Tom’ and ‘You stole Tom,’ she has been trying to date Tom, and the truth is Tom and I, since we’ve met, have been inseparable. You know, he’s been getting texts from Ramona when I first met him. And so they’re friends. They’re not dating.”

What do you think of Bethenny Frankel possibly buying a place with her new boyfriend? Do you think she would sell her own apartment after renovating it?
