“And I’ve just realized more in life, with people being more open and honest about their lives and what they want, that everything doesn’t have to sort of end in a blue box and a bow.”
She added: “We’ve had a great, great relationship and I’m really happy. Not everything has to end badly, some things just don’t continue and it’s not negative it’s just life.”
People confirmed early in 2021 that Frankel and Bernon had reconciled and were an item after she was spotted rocking a $1 million diamond engagement ring while out in Florida.
Revealing the proposal took place at Little Palm Island, a small private hotel on an island in the Florida Keys, Frankel said Bernon popping the question was like a “fantasy date” on the reality show The Bachelor.
She wrote of the proposal, which took place during the sunset, “We went to dinner and he walked me to a beautiful private table on the beach as private and romantic as a fantasy date on ‘the bachelor…’ The intimate details of the story are private but it was a beautiful proposal, in a beautiful setting, with a beautiful ring, to a beautiful man….”
“Bryn and I and Biggy Smallz are so lucky to have Paul in our lives,” she added, of her daughter and her two dogs. “He is a loving, beautiful, generous, kind, funny and smart good man who we love with all of our hearts.”
