Bethenny Frankel officially debuted her first new romance in two years this week. The Real Housewives icon, 55, who previously revealed she loves to 'torture men' in an exclusive chat with the Daily Mail, went Instagram official with handsome Miami financier Shane Campbell.
Public Debut and Instagram Post
Posting a snap of the pair passionately kissing during a roller skating date, Frankel wrote: 'If a launch is hard this is a diamond…' The new couple were first linked last month and made their first public appearance together at the 2026 Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach.
'Bethenny is the happiest she's ever been and is fully in her intentional dating era,' a source told the Daily Mail in April. The pair 'were holding hands during the entire event and barely left each other's side' a second source shared. The insider added that they 'seemed to enjoy each other's company.'
Shane Campbell's Background
Campbell is a senior managing director at FTI Consulting. Frankel, who recently launched a dating membership community called The Core, raved about a new suitor in an Instagram video last month.
She recalled how she and the man, whom she did not name, had been texting until she 'shut it down' because it 'became a little bread-crumby.' However, they later reconnected at a bar and he then went on to call her before driving 'an hour and a half' to see her.
The two enjoyed a 'five-hour date' followed by additional dates that were 'very planned out and very intentional and very chivalrous.' Frankel also gushed about the man offering to pick her up from the airport. She also marveled at him taking her on a date that was like 'something you would experience on The Bachelor.'
'There are still amazing men out there,' she said, adding, 'Do not settle. Do not accept breadcrumbs. Do not accept low-hanging fruit and low lifts of just, like, checking in with you and giving you the news and the weather.' 'A man has to have a plan to move the ball forward and show you exactly how they feel about you,' she stressed.
Past Relationships and Divorce
The new romance comes after Frankel opened up about her 'traumatic' divorce from ex Jason Hoppy, 55, with whom she shares 15-year-old daughter Bryn. Frankel admitted their split was even more devastating than her chaotic childhood and she feared she would 'never survive it' while appearing on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast in 2025. During their raw and emotional conversation, the star said nothing in her upbringing, not even watching her mother 'slit her wrists', compared to the torment of leaving Hoppy.
Frankel's last high-profile romance was with fiance Paul Bernon, with the pair breaking off their relationship in 2024.
