Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel and her daughter, Bryn Hoppy, are living their best lives as Florida residents.
The entrepreneur/TikToker told US Weekly how she and her teen daughter have thrived since leaving The City.
The Sunshine State:
“I went to high school in Florida and I’ve been going there my entire life, even since I was a younger, since I was a baby,” began Bethenny, who bought an apartment in Miami in 2024.
“I thought I would be there a certain number of days,” but ended up spending much more time in Florida. “It started to make me feel like, ‘Wait, I really feel like I live here,’ even before this whole decision happened.”
“So I was already like, wait, it feels different to live here than to visit,” she continued. “It feels different in the right way.”
Bethenny added that Bryn is doing just fine with the move. “I have a sunshine baby. We are water people. Today, I’m in the city for the shoot and she asked me if she could go back out and just be out by the water, by herself. She just likes to be free.”
The pair is “just excited for sunshine,” the BStrong Founder continued, “and sports and being outside and being near the beach. It’s who we really are.”
FL agrees with B:
The RHONY alum made the SI Swimsuit Runway Show’s ‘Best of‘ List!
“The TV personality lit up the runway with her signature energy, breaking into a hip bump and playful roar-crawl to Burna Boy’s ‘TaTaTa’ in her cheetah-print one-piece.”
“Later, as Beyoncé’s Jolene played, she twirled an imaginary lasso, tipped an invisible cowboy hat and shimmied her way backstage. She brought her lighthearted personality, sense of humor and internet-favorite flair to the catwalk.”
B reacted to critics who slammed her for wearing a thong bikini as a mom to a 15-year-old daughter. “What would my daughter think of me being in a thong in a fashion show…”
“The answer is proud.”
