Bethenny Frankel is blinding us with her new bling!
The former Real Housewives of New York City star is recently engaged to boyfriend Paul Bernon — and has one fat rock to prove it.
As OK! previously reported, the 50-year-old sparked engagement rumors after she was seen wearing a giant diamond ring on that finger over the weekend on a beach in Florida with her on-again-off-again boyfriend and daughter (it was confirmed on Tuesday, March 23, that Frankel had in fact said 'yes'). The Skinnygirl founder and her now fiancé were first linked in October 2018.
“Fancy cut stones are definitely continuing to trend, especially amongst VIPs," says Tonia Zehrer, Signet senior vice president, chief merchandising officer. "This gorgeous three-stone sparkler is approximated to be a 6-7 carat emerald-cut center stone accented by 2-3 carat trapezoid diamonds in a classic platinum band setting for a total of 10-12 carats.
"Depending on the quality of the stones, we believe this ring is easily over $400,000,” she adds.
News of the couple's engagement comes after it was confirmed that a judge finally signed off on Frankel's divorce from Jason Hoppy — eight years after they initially called it quits. The former couple — who share 10-year-old daughter Bryn— tied the knot in 2010 and announced their split in December 2012. The brunette beauty filed for divorce one month later.
