Things are moving along fast for ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ star Bethenny Frankel! She became engaged to Jason Hoppy and now she reveals to People that she’s pregnant.
“It’s premature to be telling people this,” she tells PEOPLE while fighting back tears.
“It’s not like, ‘Did I Get Botox?’ It’s not the way I wanted it to get out,” she says. “I haven’t even gone through my first trimester. We haven’t even heard the heartbeat. My [fiancé's] parents didn’t even know.”
She and Hoppy are “both so excited,” says Frankel. Still, she adds that because the pregnancy is early, “I am praying everything is okay but I don’t know that yet.”
I can understand her desire to keep it quiet so early on. Apparently, the news broke online, which is why Bethenny is coming forward now. Regarding getting pregnant before getting married, Bethenny explained it this way:
“I’m no spring chicken. I didn’t think it was going to happen right away. Because of my age, sometimes we weren’t totally careful.”
But she admits, “I got to be honest, we are both feeling kind of proud of ourselves. We are both 38 and we were like, ‘Listen, your fish can swim and I am fertile.’ So that’s exciting.”
Okay, admit that at least made you smile, didn’t it? Bethenny said she and Jason do plan on getting married before the baby is born. And she’s already dealing with cravings.
“I’m hungry in a way that is not negotiable,” she says. “I’m not eating tremendous amount but if I am hungry, I will stab someone for food.”
She even ate a jar of pickles before she’d taken her pregnancy test. “That’s so cliché,” she says. “I just want salt. Salt on everything.”
Hey, if that’s what you want…
Hopefully everything will work out well. Congratulations to Bethenny and Jason! Are you surprised by this latest development?

I have a hard time imagining her as a mom but I’m happy for her.
Yayi, I hope you meant 12 weeks, not months! Hard to keep a baby a secret after 12 months.
congrats
I wish her the best. She’ll be a funny mom.
It pisses me off that these sites speculate pregnancy. As someone who struggles with infertility, I would be upset if someone always played the baby bump card on me or said I was before I wanted to tell others. There has to be some privacy – even for celebrities and pseudo-celebs. I hope that she has a healthy pregnancy and the press stays out of it. Atleast Vera waits until comfirmation before printing anything.
K then.
Congrats, It’s out there now make the best of it.
I definitely meant 12 weeks lol….That would be some serious 12 months eh!!!
I’m not a fan of any housewives stars, but congrats to her. She said she’s craving salt – I think that means it’s a girl. I don’t have any kids, but I’ve heard if you crave salt it’s a girl, and if it’s sweet or citrus then it’s a boy. I know my mom craved salt with all three of her girls.
Congrats
congrats.
Jesus, she looks old for 38.
I kind of think so, too. She looks much older than some of my 43-year-old friends. Congrats to her, though. Here’s hoping for a healthy pregnancy and beyond.
Well, if she denied the rumors then we’d all be saying she was a liar later on. No biggie.
Guess I’m old-fashioned, but whatever happened to getting married and then having kids? Do women just get pregnant to “catch” these men?
Congrats to her!!! I also wanted to tell the world, but waited till i was 12 months. At this point most of my family don’t even know. I told my mom, sister and best friend. We are planing on telling my husbands family on thanksgiving dinner. I totally understand her excitment, but sometimes is better to wait till everything is 100% ok.
I think you meant 12 weeks
Congrats to you!
Oh God! I don’t know how you’ve kept THAT secret!!! Well, it’s gonna be an unforgettable Thanksgiving!
Exactly what i meant lol….Thanks C!!!!
congrats yayi.
I don’t know who this is and I haven’t heard any rumors about her, which is probably because I don’t know who she is.
reality show character turned celebrity.
Why did she confirm the rumors? She could have denied it untill she is in the second trimester.
I imagine she felt backed into a corner.
She shouldnt have said a thing about it….I didn’t see any rumors
She wanted publicity I’m sure…
I did.
Congrats to her.
congrats
Yes, Congrats to you!
Congrats!
I know!!! is going to be a total shocker and a very special night, but i wanted to wait and make sure everything was completely ok before sharing the news with everyone else.
