Celebrity / Bethenny Frankel Real Housewife Frankel Preggers Bethenny gets a fiancé, a baby, and her own spin-off, conveniently enough By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Oct 19, 2009 10:28 AM CDT Copied This May 12, 2008 file photo shows Real Housewives Bethenny Frankel, Alex McCord, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Jill Zarin arrive at the NBC Universal Experience at Rockefeller Center. (AP Photo/Peter Kramer,File) Real Housewives of New York’s Bethenny Frankel announced her engagement over the weekend—but failed to mention she’s also pregnant. It will be the first child for the 38-year-old reality star, who is also—coincidentally?—getting her own spin-off show. A source close to Frankel tells Perez Hilton more than just her biological clock compelled Frankel to get pregnant: “Bethenny premeditated all of this! She got pregnant and got engaged all for her own show.” Sigh. (More Bethenny Frankel stories.) Report an error
