Bethenny opted for a textured swimsuit that emphasized her enviable willowy frame and allowed her to show off her statuesque legs to full advantage.
Wearing her signature dark hair down, she accessorized with a fashionably wide-brimmed straw hat by Chanel and a set of large black sunglᴀsses.

Bethenny made the relationship Instagram official over the weekend, proudly boasting abou the white fluffy heated blanket that he bought her.
She filmed herself wrapped in the blanket and allowed her Instagram followers to catch a glimpse of Tom from the back as he kept the fireplace ablaze.
‘POV: he buys you a luxury heated throw & builds a fire while you sip an overpriced latte…,’ the lifestyle tycoon wrote over the brief clip.

Niclas used to be married to Sylvie Meis, who is known as the ‘Dutch Victoria Beckham’ because of her previous marriage to superstar footballer Rafael van der Vaart.

It emerged this May that Bethenny had broken her engagement to real estate investor Paul Bernon, with whom she conducted an on-off relationship stretching back to 2018.
Paul and Bethenny reportedly went their separate ways around March, but she nevertheless kept the estimated $1 million engagement ring he gave her, a source told Us Weekly.
A friend of the couple said the relationship ‘just wasn’t going to work’ because Bethenny and Paul were ‘so different’ from one another – for example, because ‘he’s an under the radar kind of guy.’
Bethenny later revealed she ‘initiated’ the breakup because she ‘wasn’t happy’ and felt ‘something needed to change,’ but clarified that ‘nobody dumped anybody’ and the final decision was ‘certainly mutual.’
Paul, 45, rapidly rebounded with Olivia Culpo’s elder sister Aurora, 35, but they were together for only two months before news of their split went public in early July.
While Aurora and Paul were dating, Bethenny admitted she found it ‘brutal’ to hear Aurora gushing about the relationship on her podcast Barely Filtered.
‘Hearing about your ex-fiancé committing to another woman shortly thereafter on their first date, and then being inside their relationship hearing about their Sєx and their gifts and meeting each other’s kids and the level of commitment,’ Bethenny recalled on her own podcast Just B. ‘It was gutting.’
She explained: ‘It regurgitated the continuous narrative that he is a very under the radar person who had now gotten serious with someone, had a girlfriend, met her family, met her kids.’
Paul and Bethenny first struck up their romance in 2018 and remained together for two years before they split near the end of 2020, only to reunite early in 2021
