Bethenny Frankel says it was Andy Cohen who told her to marry ex-husband Jason Hoppy, which she called the “worst idea in history.”
“Andy told me to marry Jason, so, there we go,” she said.
Frankel and Hoppy tied the knot in March 2010, but she filed for divorce just two years later.
After years of court hearings — mostly relating to custody of the former couple’s 13-year-old daughter, Bryn — Frankel and Hoppy finalized their acrimonious divorce in January 2021.
The ex-couple tied the knot in a lavish, highly-publicized wedding after Frankel found out she was pregnant with Bryn.
Frankel eventually got full legal custody as well as primary residential custody.
Frankel opened up about the car crash marriage in 2021, calling the split a “nightmare divorce.”
Frankel said she initially didn’t want a prenup prior to marrying Hoppy because she thought the idea of having one was “embarrassing” and “awkward.”
“I’m trusting and I just don’t want to deal with this, and it was embarrassing. The word ‘prenup’ was embarrassing to me. It’s uncomfortable, it’s awkward. A contract when you get married? It’s an uncomfortable, awkward concept,” she explained.
