Bethenny Frankel is back in the dating pool — with some stipulations.
During the Friday, September 5, episode of TODAY With Jenna & Friends, she called out those who get blinded by her fame, as the former reality star, 54, finds it a turn-off when men stalk her social media.

Bethenny Frankel is enjoying life as a single woman.
"I'll be dating someone, and I'll think it's such an invasion that they watch my social media," admitted Frankel, who has 3.3 million followers on TikTok. "Like, are you a creep? Weirdo? What are you doing watching this clown show? That's for them. That's not for you. You're not on the list. Like the rope. I'm like, 'Get out of here.' We could sleep together, but you can't watch my social media. Are you crazy?"
"You're polishing your plane. You have no time to watch my social media," she added later in the conversation with guest co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Willie Geist.
Bethenny Frankel teased her 'Today' appearance on TikTok.
Frankel confessed that at her age, she sometimes gets "afraid" that her identity will be tied to her partner.
"Instead, I said, 'Let me just be settled alone and be at peace and decide what I want,'" she explained. "We keep going for the same thing in different packages. It's like with lip gloss. You go back and buy the same color you already have. You get home. You're like, 'Why do I have six of these?' I do that with men."

Bethenny Frankel opened up about her current dating life.
The mom took time to think about the person she "really want[s]" and now treats men like "additive[s]" to her life.
"Meaning I don't need a man. I would like a partner but only if it's the right partner," she expressed.

Bethenny Frankel was previously married to Jason Hoppy.
The Real Housewives of New York City alum particularly wants someone who is "not successful" — but she also has no desire to be the breadwinner.
"It feels uncomfortable when I'm paying the bill and supporting someone, so I don't want that anymore," she quipped. "I want someone funny. Someone wanted to set me up with a lot of kids, like many kids. I'm not interested in that. I have one. I'm okay with two to three. After that, we're herding cats...[I want someone] geographically desirable. It can be New York, Florida, or places I like to visit...places that we vibe. At a certain age, you're not going to start taking up rock mount climbing. And people's identities on these apps, they just get so deep, like, 'I run four triathlons.' Everyone always gives a very involved dad. I'm like, 'Moms don't say that. Like, do you want a cookie?'"
Frankel was previously married to Jason Hoppy from 2010 to 2021 and Peter Sussman from 1996 to 1997. She shares daughter Bryn, 15, with Jason.
