Us Weekly Mobile - Celebrity News - Bethenny Frankel on Jason Hoppy Separation: "We Will Work Through This as a Family"

December 24, 2012

It's not going to be the merriest of Christmases this year for Bethenny Frankel** and estranged husband Jason Hoppy.

On Sunday Dec. 23, Frankel, 42, announced that she and Hoppy, 41, are separating after two years of marriage.

"I am heartbroken. I am sad," reality star, talk show host and mogul Frankel tweeted shortly after breaking the news. "We will work through this as a family." Frankel and the NYC businessman share daughter Brynn, 2.

Indeed, in her initial statement to Us Weekly, Frankel noted, "We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us."

Frankel has not just her friends and loved ones to lean on -- but also her fans, including her 1.1 million Twitter followers, whom she also acknowledged on the microblogging site Monday.

"Thank you all so much," the former Real Housewives of New York star wrote. "You give me so much love, and I am so grateful. It feels like your words could get someone through anything."

After meeting in late 2008, Frankel and Hoppy married at NYC's Four Seasons Hotel in a wedding chronicled on her Bravo spinoff, Bethenny Getting Married.

@porkiepie...don't get it twisted, I HAVE a life. It just so happened I was working today, yes, on Christmas Day. That's what happens when you run your own successful business. So to kill some time, I decided to spend it on this site, which is where I tend to spend my 'downtime' when at work. So if by having my own business, and being a good enough person to make sure my staff all get time off on Christmas constitutes as me having 'no life', then I'm guilty as charged. Ya got me! I also happen to dislike bullies, which is why I even responded to your comment in the first place. On the flip side, I do love your username. Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!

@porkipie....Is there a limit that we're unaware of? Are we only allowed to comment a certain amount if times? If that's the case, I didn't get the memo, and until I do, I'll post as many times as my wee fingers want to and I imagine everyone else will, too. Thank you very much!

BB...you do what makes you feel comfortable. We are all on this site for a form of entertainment. We are not in English 101. If some fellow posters care to pick apart your posts, then that is their issue, not yours. Merry Christmas.

Bbthumper....honestly, compared to many, your grammar isn't half bad! Seriously, there's a difference between 'grammar' and getting into a 'habit' of how you type. I think the way you type is more habit like. I read it as with your capitalized words being passionate, almost like putting them in quotation marks because they're the main point of the sentence. Your exclamation points are put to bring the point home, again due to you being passionate about what you're saying. So I really don't think you're hard to understand at all, and indeed I think some are just being mean. I'm not an English teacher, so I'm far from perfect myself, but there are MANY people on here who can't spell, form a sentence or use any form of grammar, but you're not one of them. For what it's worth, I used to type the way I speak. So I used to type in my Scottish accent. It was far from grammatically correct! Haha! It took me a while to break that habit. But you don't need to change anything, I can understand you fine. Even if I don't always agree with you, haha. But that's half the fun, right? Merry Christmas :)
