“My marriage is not perfect,” says Bethenny, “Intimacy is challenging.”
The saddest thing is, they’ve been married less than 2 years. But like most celebrity couples, two years is pretty much the expiration date, so she should be thankful, really.
Okay, don't actually drop out of college or anything. It's actually really important. Stay in school, kids.
But reality star Bethenny Frankel has certainly used her Real Housewives fame to her advantage. The star of the Real Housewives of New York sold her Skinnygirl Brand to Fortune Brands for $8 million. Or $100 million. Or $120. Okay, let me explain.
It was originally reported that Frankel made $100 million in the deal, as announced by Forbes Magazine. Though, to be fair, they did report that it was an "estimated" amount. Couple digits off, though. Other media outlets suggested the sum was as high as $120 million.

“This week she started walking. She’s flying now,” Frankel said.
Most likely, the kid was trying to escape. After starring in the petty, chaotic reality show The Real Housewives of New York City, Frankel started her own brand, Skinnygirl...

Kim Kardashian worked her tush off this year earning an estimated $6 million in endorsements, licensing deals, celebratory appearance fees, and sponsored tweets, reports The Daily Beast.
Reality darling Lauren Conrad kept a low profile this year and still managed to make over $5 million from her book deals, fashion line and new reality show.
Thanks to her Skinny Girl line and reality show Bethenny Frankel rounded out the top three with $4 million.

With her own reality show, Frankel has been able to break free and stay in the spotlight at the same time. We’ll be seeing more of her on Bethenny Getting Married, which has gotten picked up for another season.
Bethenny told Hollyscoop at the MTV VMA awards, “People love my show because I am telling the truth. It is what it is…that’s my real life…every minute, nothing sensationalized.”
She added that it’s “not scripted at all,” and what you see on the screen is what’s really happening in her, Jason, and baby Bryn’s lives.
As for Real Housewives, as Hollyscoop previously reported that Frankel will be returning to the show for the fourth season. But Bethenny continued to play coy with us, saying, “I wont go back to Real Housewives unless I have to. If I am legally obligated. I don’t know--they haven’t started yet, so I have to see.”
Since Bethenny has had so much success in the reality world, we couldn’t help but ask if she would ever consider doing Dancing With the Stars. “There’s been so many seasons of it,” she told us, adding, “Maybe something else like it,” she teased.
Interesting! We love Bethenny, and think she’s in her reality prime right now! She should continue to ride the wave as long as possible!

Sources close to Bethenny tell Hollyscoop exclusively, "She's been asked to return for the new season and negotiations are ongoing."
Bethenny's old bff Jill Zarin and her archenemy Kelly Bensimon will also return for some more drama. LuAnn de Lesseps, Alex McCord and Sonja Morgan are also returning for season four. And rumor has it that Bravo is also courting a "wealthy Hamptons housewife" for the new season.
Meanwhile, Bethenny's other hit show "Bethenny Getting Married?" has been renewed for a second season, because let's face it, everyone loves Bethenny.
Bethenny is the reason Real Housewives of New York City was such a success. She's the first person to call out a crazy person for acting crazy, or to make fun of herself when she does something ridiculous. All in all, Bravo was smart to convince her into another season.

Bethenny was a special guest on Chelsea Lately where she talked about breastfeeding and how she lost the baby weight in a heartbeat.
"I lost probably most of it by the time I left the hospital," said Frankel. "C-section -- you're there for six days and you don't eat for three of them. And then I probably had like 10 pounds left, and it came off."
Handler said, "I remember Kate Hudson, when she got pregnant, she turned into like an Oompa-Loopma --" "Because she probably hadn't eaten for 10 years," Bethenny interrupted. "Yeah, and you're like, well obviously this is not natural for you to be this thin if this is what happens when you get pregnant -- you look like a maniac," said Handler.
"That's the whole point!" agreed Frankel. Check out the hilarious clip of Bethenny on 'Chelsea Lately' below...

The 39-year old reality star is loving motherhood, saying Bryn is "the perfect baby.”
"She's absolutely beautiful and so she's so sweet," Frankel told Us Magazine at the GLAAD Summer Rooftop event in NYC. "She's a doll -- like you opened up a box and a doll came out."
Bethenny also says her daughter is "giggling, smiling and making lots of noises right now.”
So is it enough to want another one right away? She says she and husband Jason Hoppy are already thinking about it. "Jason wants to have one more," she said. "No plans right now, but conversations [are happening]."
What’s that expression…”Irish twins?” We don’t blame Bethenny for wanting to try for another—she is almost 40, and getting pregnant at that age can sometimes be difficult.
In the meantime, they seem to be enjoying every minute of their infant!

When asked how she would respond if her two month old daughter Brynn said she wanted to be a reality star, Bethenny joking told People, “I will kill somebody...Not her, but I will kill somebody.”
After considering the idea for a split second, she added, “By the time she grows up,” said Frankel, “there won’t be even be reality shows.”
No reality shows? Sounds far fetched, but in the meanwhile, Bethenny admits she's just enjoying being a mom and a wife. “He always sends me flowers, writes me cards, tells me he loves me and wants to snuggle with me,” says Frankel. “He has exceeded my expectations as a father, and they were pretty high expectations.”
