Bethenny Frankel is "thriving" at this stage in her life
The 54-year-old reality star - who was married to Jason Hoppy from 2010 until 2021 and has 14-year-old Bryn with him - recently started making public appearances with businessman Tom Villante and now an insider has claimed that despite recent rumours of an engagement, she actually spent the recent holiday season with her daughter

A source told UsWeekly: "Bethenny spent Thanksgiving in Miami with Bryn and cherishes their bonding time during the holidays.
"She is thriving in her adventure era."
The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star - who was initially married to film producer Peter Sussman from 1996 until 1997 - recently had to dismiss rumours that she was set to marry her new partner, even though she displayed a huge diamond ring on the traditional finger.
Speaking in a video posted to TikTok, she said: "This is what they call a flexible diamond ring and it is impossible to be sized.
"If I wanna wear a ring on my belly, on my teeth, on my toe, on my nose, I'll do it. So until further notice, I'm engaged to my daughter and myself."
Just prior to that, Bethenny confirmed her new relationship to the world via her Instagram page.
She wrote: "POV: he buys you a luxury heated throw and builds you a fire while you sip an overpriced latte."
Prior to meeting Tom, the TV star - who split from her second husband in 2012 but did not officially divorce him until almost a whole decade later - was engaged to Paul Bernon, but they called it quits in May after six years together.
At the time, an insider claimed that "it just wasn't going to work" between the two because they were both so "different".
