Bethenny Frankel Announced in April that she had her life pack in New York for a big move to Florida – and now the first Real Housewives of New York City Star revealed more details on her huge decision to leave the city where she was born and grew up.
When Frankel, 54, first shared his big news With fans on social networks, she mysteriously cited “personal and professional circumstances” for the move she made with her daughter Bryn – but has now decided to open further.
“I was not totally honest with you about this decision,” she said In a shared video Sunday, May 11. “I have been quite alone in the past five or six years. And it started with the pandemic, which gave me the permit to be the introverted and island person that everyone is surprised that I am. My friends know it very well because I look like a social person, but I am not!
She continued by saying that she and Bryn, 15 – which she shares with the ex -husband Jason Hoppy – have discussed this decision for some time after being disillusioned by life in and around the city. “We were in the Hamptons, then I moved in the suburbs and I thought it was going to be incredible,” she said, “It really became a cave where I was alone and at home and I never did anything. The only time I have fun would be when I get out of the city. ”
The television star and entrepreneur added that she hoped to opt for a simpler life in Florida will help her fall in love with New York, where she plans to keep a house too. “I ironically think that this decision will invigorate my relationship with this city,” she said, explaining that New York has become “transactional” for her in recent years. “I just kept this inside, because when you have something that cannot change, you don’t talk about it,” she added.
And as for what she likes in Florida? “I walk outside and I am going to walk on the beach and I am just existing, like, with another human life,” she said, explaining that Bryn is as enthusiastic about the idea that she can say that it will make her mom happy. “She’s like” well, I didn’t know you were so lonely and unhappy, “she said.
In the end, for Frankel, it seems that it all amounts to aging and reassessing his priorities after the death of his mother, Bernadette Bounklung cancer in April 2024.
“I don’t just want to rot at home and feel like wasting, like years of my life,” she said. “All I have done in the past five or six years is to think. I made my thinking. I did my therapy. My mother died. I had, you know, a lot and I’m ready to live. ”
Frankel’s relocation also arrives a year after US Weekly announced the news that the star of reality Called his engagement has Paul Bernon. The couple is dated six years before putting the branch on their romance in May 2024.
Since the move, she has already been seen while enjoying life in the state of Sunshine, in particular party at the Miami Grand Prix.
