This comes after Frankel said she didn’t always enjoy celebrating her birthday.
The 54-year-old star shared her birthday with her mother Bernadette – who died of lung cancer in April – and Bethenny has now admitted their ‘complicated’ relationship made it difficult for her to celebrate the occasion.
The TV star wrote on Instagram: ‘I was born on my mother’s twentieth birthday. I never went public about sharing her birthday.
“Our relationship was complicated at best and represented pain and shame. Its symbolism was inescapable.
Fans said she was a spitting image of Demi Moore and some called Kyle Richard. There were a few who commented that she could pass for Elvira
Some said she looked like Angelina Jolie when she received her Oscar in 2000
‘Birthdays have always been an incredible source of anxiety. Like Goldilocks, too little was too little and too much was too much.
“The biggest trauma in my life was this mother-daughter relationship, and on that one day we were tied together. As a child I became physically ill every year.’
Bethenny, on the other hand, admitted that she now feels “lighter” and “happier.”
The TV star also revealed that she is proud of her age and who she has become.
Bethenny – who turned 54 on Monday (November 24, 2011) – continued: ‘This year I feel free, lighter and happier, like something has been lifted. It has undergone a profound transformation. I am proud of my age and of the mother, friend, partner and person that I am and I am truly happy. I have everything I want and need.

The second half of Yellowstone’s fifth season comes two years after the first part aired from November 2022 to January 2023.

It marks the first chapter of the series without leading man Kevin Costner, who confirmed in June that he would not return to Yellowstone.

At the time, Kevin uploaded a clip to social media and told fans: “I just wanted to reach out and let you know that after a year and a half of working on Horizon…”
“And while I was doing all the things that I needed to do, and thinking about Yellowstone – that beloved show that I love, that I know you love – I just realized that I can’t continue season 5b or into the future.”
Regarding the show, the star added: “It was something that really changed me. I loved it, and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know I’m not coming back.”
