I don’t even know what to think of Bethenny Frankel at this point. On one side, I’m pretty sure she’s a massive a–hole. On the other side, she’s a smart businesswoman who fought her crazy ex and won. And she does do genuinely good things, like donate a lot of time and money to help Puerto Rico. So what am I left with? Bethenny Frankel is sort of okay, even if her personality grates on my last nerve? Something like that. Now, what does it say about Meghan Markle that her ex-husband went on a date with Bethenny Frankel? Hmmm….
Thanks to this wild twist of fate, reality and royalty have a mutual connection. Thanks to a recent interview on the Kyle and Jackie O Show in Australia, Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel got to talking about her current love life and a suitor in particular who turned out to have one seriously unexpected ex.
“I met this guy as a romantic interest. His name is Trevor,” Bethenny recalled to the show hosts. “So, I met him in Chicago and we were supposed to go out and [I] ended up seeing him one time and he’d been texting me. He’s a producer in LA. He told me that he was married before. He’s divorced. He was married to this girl named Meghan Markle from the TV show Suits… Six months later. I’m like, ‘Holy sh-t, your ex is going to be a princess!”
While Markle has certainly moved on, Frankel and Engelson have somewhat skipped the romance. “He pitched me a TV show idea to produce together about a bunch of businesswomen, which I think we are going to do together,” she revealed. As for potentially dating, the two live on opposite coasts right now and haven’t hooked up. “He looks a little bit like my ex which scares me. We bypassed the romantics and went into the business. But, I don’t know. There’s something there. There’s something salacious about doing a TV project with Meghan Markle’s ex.” As Frankel put it, “There’s a little sizzle there…I could make chicken salad out of that chicken sh-t for sure.”
Holy crap, Bethenny is SO right about Trevor Engelson looking so much like Jason Hoppy, her ex-husband. If Trevor cut his hair and lost some weight off his face, they would look like twins. As for the whole “a Real Housewife dated Meghan Markle’s ex-husband” thing…. I mean, it makes some kind of sense. Up until two years ago, Meghan and Bethenny were basically at the same “level” of fame and celebrity. A reality star = an actress on a cable show. As for Trevor… well, he’s really going to make a name for himself as a television producer, isn’t he? He’s already producing that show about an ex-husband whose life changes when his ex-wife marries a prince. UGH.

I wonder if she divorced him because of those sandals?
Doubt they are that powerful on their own. She left only with the blender, so my guess is those sandals plus socks that pushed her over the edge. But of course, not over the edge edgy as Justedge.
Or for being lipless.
I bet he (accidently) bit the s**t out of her.
I used to really like Bethenny……that was a loooong time ago, before she turned into this intolerant, vicious bully.
I wonder why the relationship didn’t progress further…..
Re Trevor, I really wouldn’t want to be the woman to fall in love with him as he’s clearly going to be obsessed with Meghan for the rest of his life.
Meghan’s style was so different when she was younger. It looks like her fashion choices became polished when she hit Toronto. I thought her legs/ankles were naturally very thin. Seems like she lost a lot of weight
@A…LOL…@Rayan, I noticed the same thing, particularly in the black dress. She did some major weight training on her arms. Looks so different. Who would have thunk it.
And that tells me everything I need to know about Meghan Markle’s ex.
Frankel has serious implicit bias problems. I watched her talk show exactly once. On the show, she did a segment on startup that happened to be headed by an African American woman. And Frankel actually turned to the audience and said, “See!!! She’s not looking for handouts!”
Nope.
Gross. I’ve never watched Real Housewives or her talk show, so all I know about her is from gossip sites. I have missed anything interesting it seems.
And Trevor immediately ran as far as he could.
He looks like Jason Hoppy, Frankel’s ex.
Like he really does. It’s freaky.
Bethany really knows how to pick ’em. Stories about this guy make him sound like jerk.
