Bethenny Frankel Makes Public Debut With New Boyfriend Tom Villante

Bethenny Frankel and her new beau, Tom Villante, recently marked their first public appearance as a couple. The Real Housewives of New York alum/SkinnyGirl founder and the wealthy businessman were photographed together at an event in NYC. Though the two didn’t walk the carpet together, it looks like they’re definitely more than friends.

Bethenny and Tom stepped out together for the Yellowstone Season 5, Part 2 premiere on November 8. Bethenny kept her look classic in a black Norma Cavalli dress, understated glam, and long straight hair. Tom seemed to coordinate with her an all-black outfit of his own.

The two didn’t walk the red carpet together but did meet up inside and posed for a photo alongside retired NFL player/ex-husband of Kristin Cavallari, and recent DUI recipient, Jay Cutler, with his girlfriend, Samantha Robertson.

This isn’t the first time Bethenny and Tom were seen together, but it is the first time they hit up a public event. In September, B and Tom were papped strolling hand-in-hand after a dinner date at Giorgio Baldi – a restaurant in Santa Monica that’s a celeb hotspot. They also wore coordinating outfits for that occasion, so this might’ve been brewing for a while already.

After Bethenny and her ex-fiance, Paul Bernon, broke it off earlier this year, she talked about knowing what she wants when it comes to dating. It’s looking like Tom – the wealthy founder of the company Yapstone – fits the bill. Has B finally found her Bethenny Ever After?

Let’s just hope that this Tom doesn’t follow in the footsteps of Luann de Lesseps’ infamous ex-husband, Tom D’Agostino, and stays far, far away from The Regency Hotel.

Bethenny has yet to make a loud, close-up TikTok where she’s chewing food to address her and Tom’s budding relationship.
