Who is Bethenny Frankel’s mini-me daughter, Bryn Hoppy? The Real Housewives of New York City star’s teen daughter with ex Jason Hoppy walks red carpets with her mum and has been on her podcast too
Bethenny Frankel is being asked to “make better decisions” by some of her Instagram followers after she shared a photo of a phallic dessert she bought with her 13-year-old daughter, Bryn, on a recent trip to Australia.
The former reality TV star and her teen daughter were exploring Melbourne when they stumbled upon the, erm, sparkling rainbow phallus-shaped dessert.

And while it’s ultimately up to Frankel to decide what she posts on her social media, others pointed out that her daughter Bryn is too young to make that decision herself yet, and her mum should allow her to enjoy some privacy in her early teens.
Frankel clapped back at the haters in a post shared a few days later with the caption: “This may feel aggressive and I do not believe in physical altercation but when it comes to protecting my daughter do not cross me.”
“Some people think it’s their business how I parent and how my daughter dresses,” Frankel said in the video shared on Instagram. “I have the most beautiful, thoughtful, caring, loving, spiritual, sensitive, darling, loving, smart human being for a child, and that takes work.”
Here’s what we know about Bethenny Frankel’s daughter:
Who are Bryn Hoppy’s parents?
Bryn Hoppy is the daughter of Bethenny Frankel and her ex-husband, Jason Hoppy. According to People, she was born on May 8, 2010, in New York City. At the time Frankel’s baby’s gender was a surprise. “I want to know what I’m having but my fiancé won’t let me find out,” she told the same magazine. “My fans think it is a boy. They say a girl steals your beauty.”

Does Bethenny Frankel’s daughter live with her full time?
Frankel and Hoppy were married for two years before they announced their split in 2012 and subsequent divorce in 2013, per E! News.
However, the divorce wasn’t finalised until January 2021. “After having been awarded full legal custody of Bryn in 2020, she now has been awarded primary residential custody of Bryn as well,” Frankel’s rep said at the time. “She is also no longer required to pay direct child support.” Reports suggest that Bryn decided she wanted to live with her mum full-time.

Frankel apparently draws the line when it comes to putting her daughter on reality TV. “My daughter is not on the show for a couple of reasons,” Frankel told People in 2016. “A child with a microphone on them, with a mic pack on them, is not really natural. That’s kind of like working. You have to be somewhere and you’ll have a microphone on you and it’s being filmed. You don’t know the effects of that later.”

Hoppy does however join her mum for red carpets. In June 2022, the pair attended the MTV Movie & TV Awards: Unscripted together. Frankel received the Reality Royalty Award, per People. Hoppy has also appeared on her mum’s podcast, Just B with Bethenny Frankel.
Who is Bethenny Frankel dating now?
Frankel is currently engaged to film producer Paul Bernon. According to Us Weekly, they started dating in 2018 after meeting on a dating app. So far they’ve been keeping their romance low-key and it seems like the wedding won’t be happening any time soon. “I love my life. I love my fiancé,” Frankel told E! News, “He’s an amazing life partner and I don’t want to sign a contract with someone I love.”
