Bethenny Frankel, best known for her appearances on reality TV shows like “The Real Housewives of New York City,” opened up about her biggest challenge as a parent to her teenage daughter, Bryn. Frankel, who shares Bryn with her ex-husband Jason Hoppy, spoke candidly about their tumultuous custody battle and the journey they have been through.
After years of legal battles, Frankel was awarded full custody of Bryn in 2020 and finalized her divorce in 2021. Since then, she has focused on creating memorable experiences with her daughter. They recently enjoyed a girls’ night out attending a Taylor Swift concert together. However, after attending one show, they decided to give up their tickets to another mother-daughter duo in need, showcasing their generosity.
Frankel cherishes the time she spends with Bryn and emphasizes the importance of rituals and creating memories during holidays and seasons. They engage in various activities together, including vegetable picking, surfing, wakeboarding, and snowboarding. Frankel is amazed by Bryn’s growth and her exploration of different interests. While dismissal is Bryn’s favorite subject, she also shows a passion for science, arts, and sports. Bryn plays lacrosse and recently scored three goals in a single game.
Frankel admires Bryn’s creativity and free spirit, encouraging her not to worry about conforming to specific goals. As her daughter grows and develops her own identity, Bryn looks up to her mother for inspiration. She has even watched some of Frankel’s TV projects, including “The Real Housewives” franchise. However, Bryn finds the show entertaining but dislikes the impact it has on her mother.
Through their journey, Frankel has prioritized creating a loving and supportive environment for Bryn, allowing her to explore her interests and grow into her own person. Their bond as mother and daughter continues to strengthen as they navigate life together, learning from each other along the way.
