It looks like another reality TV couple is biting the dust, as former Real Housewives of New York City star-turned Skinny Girl mogul, author, and talk show host Bethenny Frankel has separated from her husband of two and a half years, Jason Hoppy.
The 42-year-old TV personality, chef, author and entrepreneur denied separation rumors when she appeared on Watch What Happens Live two weeks ago, but she revealed to The Associated Press Sunday that the split brings her "great sadness."
"This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family," Frankel said. "We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us."
Frankel and Jason tied the knot on the show Bethenny Getting Married which was then spun off into Bethenny Ever After. They also have a two-and-a-half year old daughter named Bryn. To say no one saw this coming would be an understatement, since the last season of their show was riddled in fights and Bethenny constantly getting on Jason's nerves with her annoying ass voice and constant whining. If I had to hear her nasally high-pitched voice all day long and her unfiltered comments, I would have quit her ass a long time ago.
Bethenny's personality can be a bit much at times, and on the show Jason came across like a quiet, good ol' boy from the suburbs. It also didn't help matters that Bethenny's star and finances began to rise, especially with the selling of her Skinny Girl line to Jim Beam for a whopping $120 million. At one point last season while on vacation, Jason did admit he had a problem with his wife making more money and having more success than him, and women bringing home more bacon than their husbands seems to be a deal breaker in a lot of relationships. Jason shouldn't be sad for too long, since I'm sure he'll get a chunk of that SkinnyGirl change once the D-I-V-O-R-C-E is finalized.
This past summer she launched a talk show, "Bethenny," for six weeks and being that the the show was a hit it's set to air nationally on Fox stations in 2013.
