Fans Think Bethenny Frankel Is Engaged To Paul Bernon. Here's Why
Bethenny Frankel and her boyfriend, Paul Bernon, started dating in October 2018, according to Us Weekly. The two have seemingly enjoyed spending time together, whether it be at Bethenny's home in New York City (or the Hamptons) or at Paul's in Boston, Mass. They've also been spotted together on vacation, visiting Italy in the summer of 2019, per Bravo. At the time, Bethenny reportedly looked "beyond happy on her romantic getaway," but she and Paul's relationship hit a rough patch in 2020.
In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Bethenny opened up about their split. "We've had a great, great relationship and I'm really happy. Not everything has to end badly, some things just don't continue and it's not negative, it's just life," she shared (via People).
The breakup didn't last long, however, and Bethenny and Paul rekindled their romance a short while later. According to Us Weekly, they were spotted holding hands in January 2021. About a month later, Bethenny confirmed that she and Paul were back on, sharing an Instagram post of her and Paul on Valentine's Day. "Behind every woman ... (you fill in the blanks here)," she captioned the photo. Bethenny snapped the selfie while standing in a full-length mirror, and Paul could be seen standing behind her. Flash forward to March 2021, and fans are wondering if Bethenny and Paul are engaged.

Bethenny Frankel appears to have a new piece of jewelry
In March 2021, Bethenny Frankel was photographed hanging out on a beach in Florida, and a seemingly new piece of jewelry was spotted in the photos that were posted by Page Six. Bethenny was wearing a black, one-piece swimsuit that featured two tigers and some greenery. She paired the look with a large hat and some sunglasses. The former Real Housewives of New York star also had on a good deal of jewelry for her beach day. She wore a few layered necklaces, bracelets, and a watch, all of which appeared to be gold metal.
However, it wasn't the necklaces or the watch that had people wondering if Bethenny is engaged. As Page Six highlighted, she was seen wearing a "massive ring" on that finger. The ring appeared to be an elongated emerald cut center stone that was flaunted by two smaller side stones. And while, as of this writing, Bethenny hasn't confirmed or denied the engagement rumors, it certainly looks like she might have some news to share!
