Major congratulations are in order for Bethenny Frankel. Not only did we learn today that The Real Housewives of New York alum has finalized her divorce, but also that she is engaged to her boyfriend, Paul Bernon.

On Tuesday, Page Six confirmed that Frankel and her partner of three years are officially engaged just hours after the outlet also reported that her tumultuous split from ex-husband Jason Happy has been finalized by the courts.

The engagement confirmation comes days after rumors began swirling when the Skinny Girl creator was spotted in Florida sporting a massive diamond ring. However, it is important to note that neither Frankel and Bernon have personally commented on the news.

The 50-year-old television personality and the real estate developer were first linked as a couple back in October 2018 when they were spotted flaunting their PDA while hanging out near Boston College. The following year, she opened up to People about the relationship with the 45-year-old.

“He's a good person who I love,” she said during the interview. "I don't know if it's a yin to my yang, but he's really relaxed, he's mellow and he's very, very funny." The best part? He’s also got a great relationship with her daughter, Brynn, whom she shares with her ex.

As for her relationship with Hoppy, the duo married in 2010 and called it quits in December 2012. The entrepreneur filed for divorce one month later but the court proceedings and custody battles have lasted for over eight years.

Congrats, Bethenny! We can’t wait to get a close-up shot of that gorgeous ring.
