The 45-year-old founder of Skinny Girl Cocktails split from her husband, Jason Hoppy, four years ago. After many disputes, their pending divorce has finally been finalized.
Frankel is happy that everything has been sorted out and she can move on with her life, though the details regarding the divorce are private to protect their daughter, Bryn.
Bernard Clair spoke to People magazine on behalf of his client, Jason Hoppy, saying: “Jason is thrilled that this chapter of his life is over; he is extremely pleased with the settlement that was reached. Jason looks forward to the future and enjoying that time privately with family, friends and most important to him, his daughter.”
Frankel’s lawyer Allan Mayefsky released a statement, adding: “Out of respect for her privacy and the well-being of her daughter, Bethenny is declining to comment. We can confirm that the divorce has been resolved. Our client is ecstatic that this long chapter is over, and she is looking forward to moving on.”
The Real Housewives of New York City’s star had previously revealed she will plan a party once the divorce was behind her. She said: “I believe there’s an end in sight. I do. I think we are at the very end. I’ve said that before and been wrong. But this is the closest I’ve ever felt. I might just have party plans.”
Frankel paid Hoppy $26,000 a month in spousal support, which was discontinued once the divorce was settled. She could not understand why proceedings had taken so long, explaining: “You know, there’s a lot more to that puzzle than people will realize. Divorces on two-year marriages don’t normally take almost four years to get divorced.”
