‘RHONY’ Alum Kelly Bensimon Reveals She Talked To Bethenny Frankel’s Boyfriend On A Dating App!
Kelly Bensimon and Bethenny Frankel may have left the mayhem of Scary Island behind, but the Real Housewives of New York alums now share a new chapter in their historic rivalry – businessman Tom Villante.
While Bethenny have dated Empty for months, Kelly recently revealed that she and Empty chatted briefly on the celebrity dating app Raya this summer, unaware of his romance with his former castmate.
Kelly shared his account under Page Six Virtual Reali-Tea live show, where she opened up about creating one Raya profile after her June 2024 wedding to Scott Littner was canceled just days before the ceremony. “I see this guy and I’m like, ‘Oh, he’s kind of cute!'” Kelly explained. “He’s like, ‘Let’s talk… Let’s meet.'”
According to Kellyshe and Empty “texted” often and even had a brief meeting outside NYC hotspot Le Bilboquet.
Despite plans to meet, scheduling conflicts and spotty cell service during their time in The Hamptons prevented them from connecting.
Kelly said her plans with Empty came to an abrupt halt when a friend sent her a surprising article. “It says Bethenny Frankel dating this guy,” she revealed, admitting she was surprised by the coincidence. Her reaction? “Wait, what?! Again?!”
While Bethennywho divorced her fiance Paul Bernon earlier this year, has yet to comment on the situation, fans are watching for her trademark candid response.
As Kelly and Bethenny’s dating stories intertwine again, the drama can spill over to social media. In the meantime, reboot The Real Housewives of New York airs tonight at 9/8c Bravo.
