Trust Bethenny Frankel to tell it like it is. The former Real Housewives of New York star has had her share of dating, engagements, and marriages. And on the heels of a failed long engagement to Paul Bernon, it looks like the reality TV star and entrepreneur has decided she’s had enough. She’s now embracing celibacy.
Bethenny has never been one to hide her thoughts. That’s one of the reasons why people love her. She was very open about the breakdown of her relationship with Paul. She admitted that the split was brutal and heartbreaking.
Bethenny Frankel has opened up about her fears about dating
Bethenny and Paul split in 2024. She has dated here and there since then but it looks like nothing has really stuck. She briefly dated Tom Villante towards the end of 2024 but that ended by December. In 2025 she has been decidedly single.
She’s even shared her honest thoughts and struggles with dating.
Beth shared a TikTok video saying, “Men who put ‘dog dad’ and ‘man of the world’ on their dating profile, should be tied to the back of your car with a rope, and hit the gas as hard as you possibly can.” That definitely sounds like someone who is pretty much done dating.
In a new interview with US Weekly, Bethenny shared that she’s more than happy being alone for now.
She said, “I’ve been celibate.” “I’m not saying I think of myself as some hot commodity, but I do have several men pursuing me, and they think we’d be great for each other, so they’re trying to sort of push me to go with them. But I know that they’re either too short, or too tall, or not successful enough in their career, or they don’t live in a place I want to live or visit.”
“I’m not wasting my time with any of this bullsh*t unless it’s a bulls-eye,” she explained. “I’d rather be alone with a vibrator. I’ve got my kids, my friends. I’ve got my house and I’ve got my freaking cocktails. Get out of here. Go away.”
The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
