Bethenny Frankel offered a rare glimpse into her co-parenting relationship with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, sharing that the current family dynamic involves "a lot of personal things" right now. The businesswoman and former "Real Housewives of New York" star spoke candidly about the situation surrounding their 14-year-old daughter, Bryn.

Frankel, who has generally kept details of her post-divorce life private, acknowledged that navigating the shared parenting arrangement has its complexities. She described the present moment as one where many private matters are unfolding within Bryn's family circle, though she did not elaborate on specifics.

The comments mark an unusual moment of openness from Frankel regarding her dynamic with Hoppy. The former couple's divorce was finalized in 2021 after a lengthy and often contentious legal battle that began in 2013. Since then, Frankel has focused on raising Bryn and building her Skinnygirl empire.

While she did not reveal what those "personal things" entail, Frankel emphasized that she is committed to maintaining a stable environment for her daughter. She noted that co-parenting requires constant adjustment and communication, even when past differences make it difficult. Fans have watched Bryn grow up on social media, where Frankel occasionally shares glimpses of their mother-daughter bond, but she has consistently shielded the details of her relationship with Hoppy from the public eye.
