After a well-publicized breakup, Bethenny Frankel is opening up about her split from fiancé Paul Bernon. On her podcast “Just B with Bethenny Frankel,” the former “Real Housewives of New York City” star talked about their relationship. Frankel and Bernon reportedly ended their six-year relationship in March.
“I went through a breakup. I kept it to myself,” Frankel said. “I mourned alone, did therapy, and worked on myself. I didn’t think I needed to share it with anyone.” She explained that she wanted to handle the breakup privately and didn’t feel she owed anyone an explanation.
Bethenny Frankel also discussed her feelings when she saw media coverage of Bernon’s new relationship with Aurora Culpo. Bethenny Frankel says she started the breakup with Paul Bernon. While the breakup was mutual, Frankel said she “initiated” it.
“I wasn’t happy. Something needed to change,” Frankel said. “The relationship had challenges, and nobody dumped anybody. But I was scared because of my past and my abandonment issues.”
She added, “I get very scared when there’s any change with someone you depend on and love, but I knew it was the right thing. I made peace with it, and I was happy.” However, three months later, Bernon was seen with Culpo, sister of actress and model Olivia Culpo.
Bethenny Frankel said it was “gutting” to see all the media coverage of Bernon’s new relationship, feeling like she was “inside someone else’s relationship.”
