Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel admitted that she's ready to settle down with her longtime boyfriend Dennis Shields. The two have been on again/off again for a while now, but it looks like they might be together forever!
Bethenny and the New York banker first met 30 years ago when he started dating, and went on to marry, the reality TV star's high school friend. While she and her friend lost touch, Bethenny and Dennis remained close and began dating in 2016.
“I’ve been with someone on and off for years,” Bethenny told Steve Harvey on his talk show on Wednesday. “It’s like a partnership where if we’re not being teammates and it’s not working and one man is down, then the other man is down."
"We’re trying to really kind of be good partners and be good teammates and I think relationships oddly are — and this sounds cold — but a little bit like business," the Skinnygirl founder continued. "If both people aren’t happy about it but slightly uncomfortable and giving up something or giving in to something, it doesn’t work. So both partners have to say, 'All right, I’m in it for this.'"

"And I think we might be at that point, believe it or not," she admitted about Dennis. "I haven’t said that to anyone yet."
It sounds like the very independent Bethenny might finally be ready to settle down! "Bethenny and her daughter Bryn love Dennis and his family," an insider previously told People. "They have been a support system during her negative divorce and a positive influence in Bryn’s life."
