Bethenny Frankel Finds Her Match
Bethenny Frankel has officially found love again! The former Real Housewives of New York City star made her first public appearance with her boyfriend, Tom Villante, in New York City on Thursday. The couple attended the premiere of Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2, set to air on Paramount+ this Sunday.
A Stylish Event
Though Frankel and Villante didn’t walk the red carpet together, they were photographed inside the venue with fellow attendees Samantha Robertson and Jay Cutler. The event marked an important moment for Cutler and Robertson as well, who were also making their public debut as a couple following Cutler’s recent DUI arrest. Frankel, 54, looked stunning in a black, long-sleeve, backless turtleneck dress by Norma Kamali ($315).
She accessorized with a black Valentino clutch and gold jewelry, showcasing her signature style. The reality TV star wore her hair sleek and straight, cascading down to her waist. Villante complemented Frankel’s look with an all-black outfit, consisting of a simple T-shirt, trousers, and a leather jacket. The couple first sparked romance rumors in September when they were spotted smiling and holding hands on a date night in Santa Monica, California.
More Than Lovers, Soulmates
Bethenny and Tom seemed to enjoy each other’s company as they left Giorgio Baldi, a popular Italian restaurant frequented by Hollywood stars. Photographers captured the couple looking affectionate as they exited the restaurant dressed in matching white outfits. While details about how they met remain unclear, Frankel ended her previous engagement to Paul Bernon in March. The split wasn’t publicly acknowledged until May, when sources revealed that the two had parted due to differences and admitted the relationship couldn’t continue.
Reflecting on Frankel’s Relationship History
Bethenny and Paul Bernon initially connected on a dating app in September 2018. He proposed in February 2021 with an extravagant $1 million fireworks display. After their breakup, Bernon briefly dated Aurora Culpo, while Frankel took some time to consider reentering the dating scene. Although Frankel often shares her dating experiences online, Villante seems to be the first partner who truly caught her attention. His social media presence is notably private, sparking curiosity among fans about his past relationships.
Bethenny Frankel and Tom Villante’s couple debut at the Yellowstone premiere signals a fresh and exciting chapter in her life. As they navigate their relationship in the public eye, fans are eager to see how this journey unfolds. With Frankel’s vibrant personality and Villante’s understated charm, they make an intriguing couple, and many are hopeful for their future together.
