Bethenny Frankel Debuts Romance With Shane L. Campbell

Bethenny Frankel is getting real about her new connection.

Former Real Housewives of New York City star, revealed she’s dating Shane L. Campbell. The couple were seen together at the 2026 Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach, Florida, on April 10th.

Bethenny, age 55, and her financial advisor from Miami might be seen hugging amongst the audience at the concert featuring 50 Cent and Sean Paul.

TopMob News has reached out to Bethenny’s reps for comment but has not heard back yet.

Bethenny is dating someone new less than two years after ending her six-year relationship with Paul Bernon in May 2024. Before Paul, Bethenny was married to Peter Sussman from 1996 to 1997 and Jason Hoppy from 2010 to 2016. She shares a 15-year-old daughter, Bryn, with Jason.

Although Bethenny Frankel hasn’t commented publicly on Shane, she recently shared excitement about a new relationship. She encouraged her Instagram followers to demand more from their partners, saying they shouldn’t accept men who don’t put effort into planning things.

Bethenny revealed she and her new boyfriend originally met some time in the past. They recently ran into each other at a bar while she was with friends, and he then asked her out on a date.

I recently shared that one of my dates lasted a full five hours! And it wasn’t a one-off – we went on several dates after that, and I loved how thoughtful and deliberate he was about everything. It was truly old-fashioned chivalry, and it felt amazing.

He offered to meet her at the airport, which Bethenny described as a thoughtful and intentional act of kindness.

She continued, saying she wouldn’t share the details of the date he planned, but described it as a very romantic, elaborate experience—something straight out of The Bachelor.

She encouraged her followers not to settle for less in relationships. “Real men are still out there,” she said, “so don’t accept minimal effort or just be satisfied with someone who only offers basic attention. A good partner should have clear goals, actively work towards a future together, and openly express their feelings for you.”

Hoffman remembered that while staying in a hotel room that felt like a wedding suite, Gabby suddenly asked, “Should we get married?” Windey quickly found a lace dress and played Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO!” as Gabby playfully walked down the aisle.

There were roses everywhere, which Rachel Windey jokingly compared to the show The Bachelor. But what she really loved was spending one-on-one time with Jean Smart from Hacks.
