The secret’s out: Bethenny Frankel just surprised her fans with a major move
Miami-Dade County: Welcome your newest famous resident.
Bethenny Frankel.
The “Real Housewives of NYC” alum made the unexpected announcement on Instagram Thursday that she officially moved to the Magic City.
“Excited to share this with you,” read the 54-year-old’s somewhat cryptic caption. “It’s been a concept for a while but personal and private circumstances have made this the healthiest life choice.”
Florida will be Frankel’s “primary and permanent residence.”
It’s unclear where her new apartment is exactly, but the “Shark Tank” star definitely has an ocean view as evidenced by the stunning scenery behind her in the Insta clip.
“Something has arisen that made this the best and healthiest for myself and my daughter,” said the Bravolebrity, who shares custody of the teen with ex husband Jason Hoppy.
Frankel — a self made millionaire thanks to her Skinnygirl brand — will also maintain homes in NYC and the Hamptons. Come summertime, those places will come in handy.
The diehard New Yorker’s relocation to the Sunshine State isn’t as surprising as the casual observer might believe. Though a Queens native, the reality star attended the Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale, graduating in 1988. She also has been visiting the 305 for years, attending ritzy events , shopping at discount stores and stepping out on dates (beau du jour is reportedly businessman Tom Villante).
So what’s the tea? What exactly has “arisen?”
Page Six reports that the change in zip code is to benefit her daughter who turns 15 next month.
“Bryn is Bethenny’s top priority, and the decision to move to Florida was all about supporting her,” a source told the outlet. “The move reflects Bryn’s academic and athletic goals and was made with her physical and emotional well-being front and center.”
Burning question for Andy Cohen: Will Frankel become a part of the Miami franchise of Real Housewives now? We are so sure she could shake things up, and we mean that in the very best way.
Frankel was already feeling the love from at least one “RHOM” castmate.
“I kept your secret,” wrote OG Lisa Hochstein in the comments section. “I”m glad it’s out. Welcome!”
