Bethenny Frankel revealed the reason she is moving from New York to Florida.
The reality TV personality, 54, said she felt like she was ‘drowning’ so she ultimately decided to move her and her daughter Bryn, 14, out of the city.
She previously explained that their move was for ‘personal and professional reasons’ and sparked fan concern that she was relocating for political motives.
Just a little over a week ago, the Real Housewives of New York City alum listed her $8million mansion in Connecticut for sale.
In a TikTok video she posted on Friday, she said that a ‘series of events transpired’ earlier this year so she decided to sell their home.
‘The morning of March 19th, this wasn’t even a thought and by that evening, a series of events transpired and we decided it was the best move to move here,’ said the star.

She explained that she quickly decided to list their home for sale, though she will be keeping her New York City apartment, and set out to buy a house in the Sunshine State.
‘Within five weeks, [we] had sold and bought a home in both places. We’ll keep this apartment, but I sold my home and bought a house in Florida,’ she said.
Frankel said living with just her daughter Bryn, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, in an overly spacious house ‘was drowning me.’
‘It was just the two of us,’ she said. ‘It was a mᴀssive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life.
‘I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I’d be entertaining there a lot.’
She continued: ‘The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard, it was a historical house, it had all this property, and it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents.
‘It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn’t really know many people in that community. It was lonely.’
She said she didn’t want to be ‘home alone’ so she decided to ‘simplify’ their space.

Frankel also added that she originally planned to downsize in four years when her daughter would be heading off to college, but she decided to go ahead with it now because of a ‘moment’

‘My simplification is someone else’s complication because I’m still going to be in a beautiful home, but I just took on too much,’ she explained.
‘And the idea of something was different than the reality of it,’ she continued.
Frankel also added that she originally planned to downsize in four years when her daughter would be heading off to college, but she decided to go ahead with it now because of a ‘moment.’
‘This situation was drowning me and something else was distracting her and neither of us would say it out loud because this is just what it was,’ she said cryptically.
‘The moment it became about her, I was able to be honest with myself about how I felt and it freed both of us. I think I’ll be lighter and brighter and happier in the coming months.’
Frankel added: ‘I’m excited for this next chapter.’
