Bethenny Frankel’s ‘Caring’ Boyfriend Supported Her After Stressful Day In Court: ‘It Meant A Lot’ To Her’ hollywoodlife.com

Bethenny Frankel, 48, kicked off a custody trial with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, 48, on March 4, but she’s not fighting this legal battle alone. “Bethenny is doing amazing and her caring boyfriend Paul Bernon was quietly supporting her in court this week,” a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife. Paul is the founder of Burn Later Productions, which has produced films like Drinking Buddies, and he was first photographed with The Real Housewives of New York star in Oct. 2018. His presence in court didn’t go unnoticed, as our source adds that the effort “meant a lot to [Bethenny] to have him there by her side.” It’s been a challenging past few days for Bethenny, as were told before that the Bravo star was even “crying in the courtroom” as she fought for full custody over her and Jason’s eight-year-old daughter, Bryn Hoppy.
