A mutual friend of the couple confirmed this Us that “it just wasn’t going to work” between the two, who broke up about two months ago. “They’re so different — he’s an under-the-radar guy,” the source said.
Frankel has caused confusion over her relationship status in recent weeks by selectively wearing her giant engagement ring in social media videos. “She still has the ring,” the source noted. Us has reached out to Frankel and Bernon’s teams for comment.
Frankel began dating Bernon in October 2018 after meeting him on a dating app.
“I was very lucky when I walked in and saw him,” Frankel recalled People in April 2021. “He had a sparkle. It came as promised – better than announced. He went overboard.”
Almost a year later, a source reported exclusively Us weekly that Frankel and Bernon were moving in together and looking for a new house.
“They live together in the Back Bay area [in Boston] Now,” the insider shared in September 2019. “She spent a lot more time up there. They are house hunting in the New England area.”

Following their reconciliation, the couple announced their engagement in March 2021.
“I’m very excited and it’s really wonderful,” Frankel shared in an interview Extra by the time.

He is a good partner. He is a good friend. He is a good father. So all is well. Everything is really good.
After speculation that they had split up again, Frankel announced in July 2023 that she and Bernon were still together — but didn’t plan on getting married anytime soon.
“I don’t want to organize a wedding,” she said during an appearance on AND! News in July 2023. “I love my life. I love my fiancé. He is a great life partner and I don’t want to sign a contract with someone I love. I don’t want to plan a huge wedding for everyone else and I don’t want to [do] What we want. I like doing what you want, not what society wants you to do.”
Frankel was previously married to Jason Hoppy However, from 2010 to 2012, they were only able to finalize their divorce in March 2021 after a decades-long legal battle. (The couple share daughter Bryn, 13.)
“It was literally the most traumatizing thing I will hopefully ever go through in my life,” Frankel shared about her divorce in an April 2024 episode of her “Just B” podcast. “I experienced a royal war. I questioned myself as a person, as a parent, because I was told so many times how horrible and disgusting and old and irrelevant and abused I was because I had no power to get out of it.”
