Bethenny Frankel mentioned it all regarding the *Real* reasons she and her daughter, Bryn, moved to Florida.
The former Real Housewives of New York star previously said the move was for “personal and professional reasons.” In a TikTok, B gave more insight into the full story.

B didn’t Go To Sleep on it:
“The morning of March 19th, this wasn’t even a thought. By that evening, a series of events transpired, and we decided it was the best move to move here.”
The RHONY alum continued, “Within five weeks, [we] had sold and bought a home in both places. We’ll keep this apartment, but I sold my home and bought a house in Florida.”
Too much for two:
Bethenny said the house “was drowning me.”
“It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life. I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I’d be entertaining there a lot,” the B Strong founder explained.
“It was just the two of us,” she said, referring to her daughter. “The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard; it was a historical house; it had all this property; it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents.”
“It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn’t really know many people in that community. It was lonely.”
Not wanting to be “home alone,” Frankel decided to “simplify.”
The time was right for Bethenny and Bryn:
“I’m still going to be in a beautiful home, but I just took on too much.” They were fond of “the idea of something different.”
“This situation was drowning me. Something else was distracting her. Neither of us would say it out loud because this is just what it was. The past few months have been ‘a lot.’”
Though Frankel initially wanted to wait until Bryn went off to college, a specific “moment” led to a change of heart. “The moment it became about her, I was able to be honest with myself about how I felt and it freed both of us. I think I’ll be lighter and brighter and happier in the coming months.”
“I’m excited for this next chapter. B noted her fans are “getting [her] through this tough time.”
