UPDATE 2:43 P.M. PST: Bethenny Frankel isn’t a single woman just yet! The RHONY star took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday to address rumors that she and her fiancé Paul Bernon broke up, slamming the false reports by saying:
“I didn’t have to address rumors, but rumors hurt and affect other people, as does irresponsible press. I’m engaged to a wonderful man named Paul. We got engaged in February, and months later, I was swimming and had my ring on, and then it came out that we were engaged, ’cause we didn’t make an announcement. We didn’t feel that we wanted to announce being engaged.”
Clearly frustrated, she continued:
“I don’t always wear my ring. I don’t have to always wear my ring. Sometimes I don’t feel that it’s safe. Sometimes my fingers swell or contract. But I’m doing me. It’s my opinion that a relationship is about the two people in the relationship and the commitment and the feelings. Not about announcements, not about pomp and circumstance, not about jewelry. It’s symbolism and if I decide to wear an engagement toe ring, then so be it.”
Well, that’s good news! Guess that IG caption wasn’t as cryptic as everyone took it!

On Tuesday, the Skinnygirl founder posted a new photo to her official Instagram account, revealing an ugly Christmas sweater that spoofed one of Beyoncé‘s most famous songs with the words in holiday fonts:
“All My Jingle Ladies”
The sweater drew some interesting responses from fans, as the 51-year-old former RHONY star captioned the photo in part with this message (below):
“Shoutout to all my #jingleladies who can put their own ring on it…”
Whoa!
“Jingle ladies”?! Putting “their own” ring on it??
What are we hinting at here, Bethenny??
Ch-ch-check out Frankel’s full post (below):
LOLz, obviously sometimes an ugly Christmas sweater is just an ugly Christmas sweater… but there was another BIG fashion clue going on here. Did you notice?
You can see both her hands in the pic, and the reality star is very clearly not wearing her engagement ring in the photo, either. That’s a real shocker!!

Fans flooded the comments section in turn, asking the reality TV alum whether she’d split from Bernon. Bethenny hasn’t commented publicly on that yet, though the post here is certainly an interesting piece of the puzzle.
Of course, Bethenny and Bernon have split before. They started dating way back in 2018, only to briefly split in the fall of 2020 before getting back together. The duo first got engaged back in March. But could it be all over for real now?!
Something tells us if so, we’ll hear all about it on her podcast soon. On a shocking recent episode of Just B with Bethenny, the 51-year-old finally opened up about her bitter, nine-year nightmare of a divorce with Jason Hoppy. She described being followed, being harassed, being “bound and gagged and shackled.” The happy ending of that horror story was when Bethenny finally fought for and regained her independence. Could it be while she was opening up about that ending, there was another split going on behind the curtain?? Was she becoming independent in another way at the same time?
Did all the talk about divorce and going into marriage with your eyes wide open come from her deciding she wasn’t going to get married to Paul after all??
