Sonja explained that Paul helped Bethenny work through her grief after the death of ex-boyfriend Dennis Shields.
I don’t think she necessarily moved on from Dennis,” Sonja said, “But having Paul to hold her hand allowed her to cope better.”
“I don’t think there’s any rules or guidelines for grief,” Dorinda Medley said. “And I don’t think anyone should comment on it. I think everybody does the best they can and if that means having a friend or dating, then you do whatever it takes to move through it.”
