Bethenny Frankel Gives Rare Update on Status With Ex-Husband Jason Hoppy: ‘Traumatic’

Frankel said years of divorce and custody litigation left the former couple unable to maintain a friendly co-parenting relationship.

  • On Tuesday, Bethenny Frankel appeared on the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, revealing she is "not exactly" cordial with ex-husband Jason Hoppy as they continue co-parenting their daughter.
  • The 55-year-old TV personality described the legal separation from Hoppy as a "traumatic exercise," with divorce proceedings lasting 10 years despite their two-year marriage. This prolonged battle deeply affected the family.
  • Frankel characterized the custody battle as "horrible, horrendous, worst of my life," yet she secured primary residential custody of daughter Bryn Hoppy in 2021, five years before this podcast appearance.
  • While navigating co-parenting, Frankel explained they "do both exist on this earth, so that's positive," but the former couple maintains an uneasy, non-cordial dynamic managing their daughter's upbringing.
  • The Skinnygirl founder remains focused on her life with Bryn, whom she considers her best friend, while admitting she is "hesitant" to date again following the contentious split.
