Bethenny Frankel’s ex Paul Bernon splits from Aurora Culpo

After just two months of dating, Paul Bernon has reportedly called it quits with Aurora Culpo.

Page Six has reported Bernon, 45 – who was previously engaged to Bethenny Frankel – had split from Culpo, citing a source. 

It comes after Bethenny implied her ex and Culpo had gone their separate ways on the July 7th episode of podcast, Just B with Bethenny Frankel. 

‘Hearing about your ex-fiancé committing to another woman shortly thereafter on their first date, and then being inside their relationship, hearing about their sex and their gifts and meeting each other’s kids and the level of commitment was gutting, it was brutal,’ she said.

‘I’m proud of myself, and I’m proud of the way that I handled it,’ she continued of how she handled hearing about the new relationship. ‘I think this woman has learned a lot, too, and I think that everybody lost in this situation because their actions cost them their relationship, which was brand-new, and who knows what would’ve happened?’

Bernon’s relationship with Culpo began just weeks after he split from Frankel following six years together.

A source previously revealed Bernon began seeing Aurora almost immediately after he ended his engagement from Frankel back in March. 

‘Aurora and Paul have been dating for over two months,’ an insider told Us Weekly in late June. ‘He moved on very quickly after Bethenny.’

‘[Her family] thinks he’s a really nice, normal guy,’ the source added. ‘They have a lot in common with him being from Boston and Aurora from an area nearby. Aurora has been spending time in Boston with him recently.’

The insider noted the duo ‘met online’ and ‘also had mutual friends, so it worked out.’

According to the gossip blog Deuxmoi, the real estate developer and Aurora were seen making out at The Quin House in Boston in May.

Despite things seemingly going fast in their relationship, Bernon was not invited to Aurora’s sister Olivia Culpo’s wedding to Christian McCaffrey.

The sisters squabbled over the lack of invite on Aurora’s podcast, Barely Filtered, where Aurora called the move ‘rude.’ 

However Olivia clapped back, ‘No, [it’s] rude to invite somebody I’ve never met.’

Later in the episode – which was recorded before Olivia’s wedding – Aurora tried taking a different approach, asking the former Miss USA winner whether her ‘friend’ could join her.

But that, too, was a no-go for Olivia, as she labeled Paul the ‘flavor of the month.’

She quipped: ‘Not interested.’

Olivia did, however, have a message for Paul himself. ‘Sorry, it’s not a reflection of you,’ the newlywed clarified. ‘It’s a reflection of my sister.’

Despite Paul not scoring a formal invitation to the ceremony, he did participate in the pre-wedding festivities, according to US Weekly.

At the time he and Bethenny’s split was reported, a source told Us Weekly that the relationship ‘just wasn’t going to work.’

‘They are so different — he’s an under-the-radar kind of guy,’ they continued, seemingly referencing Bethenny’s very public career.

The site claimed that ‘it just wasn’t going to work’ between the pair who met on a dating app in 2018.

He and Bethenny had gotten engaged shortly after she had finalized her divorce from her ex Jason Hoppy, Bryn’s father.

The reality star had married Jason in 2010, the same year she gave birth to Bryn.

But she and the pharmaceutical sales executive separated in December of 2012, and she filed for divorce early the next year, though their divorce dragged out for nearly a decade afterward.

Between the end of her marriage and the start of her relationship with Bernon, Bethenny dated the banker Dennis Shields from 2016 to
2018, when he died.

She was first married to the entertainment executive Peter Sussman in a short union that only lasted from 1996 to 1997.

Meanwhile, Aurora, best known for starring in the Discovery+ series The Culpo Sisters alongside her sisters Olivia and Sophia, was married to Michael Bortone.

The pair share two young children, Solei and Remi.
