Bethenny Frankel shared her daughter Bryn’s emotional plea that satisfied her to sell her multi-million dollar Connecticut home and move to Florida.
“We were down in Florida and something very personal transpired,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum shared on Tuesday’s episode of her “Just B” podcast.
“I don’t want to get into all the details of this now, but something happened, and my daughter, who had said years ago, ‘I want to move to Florida,’ she cried to me.”
Frankel, 54, recalled telling Bryn, 14, that they couldn’t decide up and move to the Sunshine State due to “a set of circumstances” and realizing the teenager had “great friends and a great life” up north.
“At that time, it was just a concept, and I couldn’t have imagined living in Florida,” the Bravo star stated. “So, she said, ‘I want to move to Florida this trip,’ and I was, like, ‘Something had happened.’”
She continued, “She begged me. She didn’t have to beg me, like, she was like, ‘I really want this’ … I know my kid and I knew that once this was presented … that she’d want to move. I was just like, ‘F–kng f–k it, OK.’”
Frankel shared she at all times deliberate to relocate to Florida as soon as Bryn went to school, however reconsidered her plans round March.
“I have been a frazzled, manic mess since then,” she defined. “This f–king house is gonna kill me.’ It’s the best house. It’s an amazing, extraordinary house for a family that has kids that will come home, you have a staff [and] there’s an apple orchard.”
The Skinny Girl founder’s heartfelt dialog together with her listeners comes after she announced the move by way of TikTok on Friday.
“Within five weeks, [we] had sold and bought a home in both places,” she stated. “We’ll keep this apartment, but I sold my home and bought a house in Florida.”
Frankel shared that her previous mansion was “drowning” her.
“It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life. I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I’d be entertaining there a lot,” she continued.
Frankel described the property as “lonely.”
The businesswoman claimed she was optimistic concerning the move and “excited for this next chapter.”
She shares Bryn together with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy, with whom she was married from 2010 to 2021.
