Bethenny Frankel is engaged to Paul Bernon.
The former 'Real Housewives of New York' star is set to tie the knot with her boyfriend Paul - whom she began dating in 2018, and endured a brief split from last year - after she recently finalised her divorce from Jason Hoppy.
According to Page Six, Bethenny and Jason - who split more than eight years ago - had their divorce settlement signed off by a judge back on January 20, which came after Bethenny initially filed for divorce in January 2013, one month after she called it quits with her former spouse in December 2012 after two years of marriage.
People magazine then confirmed the reality star - who has 10-year-old daughter Bryn with Jason - and her new beau Paul had gotten engaged this week.
The couple are yet to confirm the news themselves, but they sparked engagement rumours over the weekend when Bethenny was spotted wearing a diamond ring whilst out in Florida.

Bethenny and Paul previously split in October last year, but the beauty insisted they had ended things on good terms.
Speaking about the break-up, she said: I'm good.
"You know, not everything works out and so many people have tried to define my life with, you know, our lives with, 'When are you getting engaged? When are you having a baby? When are you getting married?'
"And I've just realized more in life, with people being more open and honest about their lives and what they want, that everything doesn't have to end in a blue box and a bow.
"We have had a great, great relationship, and I'm really happy. And not everything has to happen badly. Some things just don't continue. And it's not negative; it's just life."
Previously, the entrepreneur had gushed over her romance with Paul - who is a film producer and real estate developer - when she said she loved how "relaxed" and "mellow" he is.
She said in 2019: "He's a good person who I love. I don't know if it's a yin to my yang, but he's really relaxed, he's mellow and he's very, very funny."
Bethenny also discussed Paul's relationship with Bryn, when she said: "Bryn knows him and loves him. They're very, very similar people."
