Bethenny Frankel's Latest Rant Is Getting Her Into A Lot Of Trouble

According to a new report, the Real Housewives of New York City star and Skinnygirl mogul has been spending time with Shields, an executive chairman of the board of New York’s Esquire Bank, who just so happens to reportedly be the estranged husband of one of her high school friends.

“Bethenny has a new boyfriend,” a source told Page Six on Sunday. “She even just threw a birthday party for him.”

A second source added, “Bethenny and Dennis have been friends for 27 years — and she did throw him a birthday party.”

However, when reached for comment, Frankel's rep told the outlet, “Bethenny is very much enjoying being single. Her focus is on her business and her daughter.”

Frankel is also in the midst of a divorce from Jason Hoppy, which she recently said “is sort of like a drop of poison in the ocean . . . Am I feeling it? No. But it’s there . . . It’s not that emotionally draining. It does come up at times. You have to really just be very Zen about it.”

On Twitter, Frankel address her latest relationship rumor.

Frankel will return to Bravo for The Real Housewives of New York City season eight later this year.
