Bethenny Frankel has officially hard-launched a relationship along with her recent boyfriend Shane Campbell.
“If a launch 🚀 is difficult it is a diamond…,” the Real Housewives of Latest York City alum, 55, revealed via Instagram on Saturday, May 9, alongside a PDA-filled photo along with her recent beau.
Several Bravoverse favorites celebrated Frankel’s hard launch and her kiss along with her recent boyfriend under a glittering disco ball.
“Launch it baby !!! ONE LIFE,” Real Housewives of Latest Jersey star Melissa Gorga encouraged Frankel, with Orange County alum Gretchen Rossi sharing multiple heart-eye emojis.
Page Six reported in April that Frankel was dating Campbell, a Miami-based investment banker. They stepped out together on the Global Champions Arabians Tour in Miami Beach that very same month.
Us Weekly has reached out to Frankel’s spokesperson for comment.
Frankel was first married to entertainment executive Peter Sussman from 1996 to 1997 and later chronicled her courtship along with her future second husband, Jason Hoppy, on her RHONY spinoff Bethenny Ever After. Hoppy, 54, and Frankel’s March 2010 wedding on the 4 Seasons Restaurant in Latest York City was filmed for the Bravo special Bethenny Getting Married.
The couple welcomed a daughter, Bryn, in May 2010. After Frankel filed for divorce from Hoppy in January 2013, a custody battle dragged on for nearly a decade before it was finally resolved in January 2021.
During a December 2025 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Frankel insisted that her divorce from Hoppy was probably the most painful experience of her life.
“I even have seen my mother slit her wrists. I even have lived my whole life chasing her into bathrooms, attempting to catch her throwing up. I’ve been around guns, the mafia, the race track. I’ve been through all the things,” Frankel explained to host Alex Cooper. “I even have seen all the things. Nothing compares to what my divorce was for 10 years.”
She continued, “It was so traumatic. It was 10 years of my life. I lost hair. I believed I might never survive it. I didn’t need to. I needed to due to my daughter. I literally thought I’ll never be comfortable again.”
Frankel explained to Cooper that she managed the trauma at some point at a time with the intention to navigate years of courtroom showdowns along with her ex.
“I treated it like a marathon, and I went one mile at a time, and I checked every box,” she said. “It was fraud, it was stealing, it was hacking, it was harassment, it was abuse.”

Following Frankel’s divorce, Real Housewives of Latest York City viewers got rare glimpses into the Skinnygirl mogul’s on-off romance with Dennis Shields, who died at age 51 in August 2018 from a suspected drug overdose.
Frankel has continued to pay touching tribute to Shields within the years since his death, including with a 2020 memorial on his birthday.
“Glad Birthday Dennis … Considering of you today and day by day,” she wrote via Instagram in February 2020. “It’s been tough recently since the world lost one other legend and so many innocent lives. You’re gone but never will probably be forgotten. You’re missed. You’re continuously quoted. You’re one among a sort. … We miss you.”
