In April 2025, TV personality and entrepreneur Bethenny Frankel announced that she would move to Florida with her daughter, Bryn. At that time, she shared the news, citing the decision to move out was due to personal and professional reasons.
Meanwhile, on May 2, 2025, she reportedly shared a TikTok video, sharing that on the morning of March 19, 2025, moving out wasn't even something she had considered. However, by that evening, a series of events led her and her partner to decide it was the right choice.
Bethenny Frankel was previously in a relationship with film producer Paul Bernon. However, they separated in 2024, and Frankel mainly decided on the same.
Meanwhile, within five weeks, she had sold their home and bought a new one in Florida, although they planned to keep their apartment. She explained that the large home she sold had originally been purchased when she was in a different phase of life, expecting it to be a place for big family gatherings.
However, the property, which included features like an apple orchard and historic elements, started to feel overwhelming. She said it was better suited for a large family. Bethenny Frankel added:
"It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone because I didn’t really know many people in that community. It was lonely."
Bethenny Frankel explained that even though she was still going to live in a beautiful house, she realized she had taken on more than she could handle. What she had imagined didn't match the reality.
She felt overwhelmed by the situation, while her daughter dealt with her distractions, and neither had admitted it at the time.
She believed she would feel happier, lighter, and more at peace in the near future and looked forward to starting a new chapter in life.
Bethenny Frankel said the move was necessary for her daughter’s best interests
According to Page Six, the reason for the move was to support Bryn’s education and sports interests, while also focusing on her health and emotional well-being. Bethenny Frankel decided that her daughter’s needs as the main priority. In the previous video, she said:
"Okay, guys. I have some news to share with you. I have been waiting till I got down here to tell you, but I am moving to Florida for personal and professional reasons. Something has arisen that made this the best and healthiest decision for myself and my daughter. We will maintain residences in the Hamptons and New York City because we love New York."
Sharing a glimpse of what seemed to be her new place, she said:
"But this will be our primary and permanent residence. And I will let you know more soon but this will be my backyard."
Earlier in the month, Bethenny Frankel hinted about the possible shift when she posted photos on Instagram that included U-Haul boxes. In her caption, she mentioned that life was good, though it came with some surprising stresses.
She also said she was enjoying time with friends, good food, and a bit of chaos, and teased that some exciting changes were coming up, but added that her followers would have to wait to find out more.
