offered a candid look at the early days of her relationship with Rodger Berman, following after 33 years together.

The fashion designer, 54, reflected on the day Berman, 57, proposed to her, as she discussed the breakdown of her marriage on a new episode of The on Thursday.

Zoe recalled how Berman popped the question just a day after she told him she had 'fooled around' with a model.

Speaking to castmates and  at dinner in the Hamptons, Zoe said she and the model got together four years into her relationship with Berman.

The fashion mogul - who has sons Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 12, with her ex - described the model as 'the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life' and said she told Berman about the encounter because she 'felt so bad.'

'I told him that I fooled around with this guy, and I'm not joking, he proposed to me the next day,' she said. 'True story.'

Zoe went on to say that Berman 'was a secure person' but that in the last six to seven years of their marriage 'it just went down.'

'He was so secure. Everyone would ask him, "How do you let her do that? She's going and styling all these huge male celebrities, these big male supermodels, these guys are hitting on her all the time." He was always like, "If they can get her, they can have her." It worked because I never cheated on him.'

Zoe admitted she 'would flirt with guys,' and 'they would flirt with me,' but said it 'was nothing.'

The star, who tied the knot with Berman in 1996, initially announced their split in September 2024.

In a previous episode Zoe recalled the 'insane' moment that led to her filing for divorce.

During a conversation with castmate Erika Jayne, Zoe explained that her ex planned an unannounced meeting so he could introduce their sons to his girlfriend - although her name was not disclosed in the episode.

However, Berman has been romantically linked to Bree Jacoby, whom he was seen cozying up with just four months after his split from Zoe.

Her children were about to go off to camp at the time as the TV personality added, 'She's never met the kids.'

The star added, 'My kids are leaving, about to get on a plane to camp, literally she f***ing appears. She's there with him, shows up and says hi to my sons. What the f***?'

'Just a typical day. I mean, it's not one thing,' she said, referencing what had prompted her to take the step to end the marriage.

'It's an absolute myriad of bad decisions that have been over the last month, the last weeks, the last f***ing hour that would trigger me to move things forward.'

The mom-of-two and Berman did not sign a prenup before marrying.

The TV personality also previously said during a past episode of RHOBH that her relationship with Berman changed after having children.

'I think we've outgrown each other; we became very different people,' she stated during a conversation with her pal Kathy Hilton.
