Bethenny Frankel’s ex Paul Bernon SPLITS from Aurora Culpo after just two months of dating
After only two months of dating, Paul Bernon reportedly broke up with Aurora Culpo.
Page Six reports that Bernon, 45, previously engaged to Bethenny Frankel, has split from Culpo, a source said.
It comes after Bethenny suggested on the July 7 episode of the podcast that her ex and Culpo, 35, had split, Just B with Bethenny Frankel.
“When I learned that my ex-fiancé had committed to another woman shortly after, on their first date, and then later in their relationship and learning about their sexuality and their talents, and then meeting each other’s children and seeing how committed they were, it was heartbreaking and brutal,” she said.
“I’m proud of myself and I’m proud of the way I handled it,” she continued about how she handled hearing about the new relationship. “I think this woman learned a lot too, and I think everyone in this situation lost because their actions cost them their relationship, which was brand new, and who knows what would have happened?”

Bernon’s relationship with Culpo began just weeks after he split from Frankel after six years.
A source previously revealed that Bernon started dating Aurora almost immediately after calling off his engagement to Frankel in March.
“Aurora and Paul have been dating for over two months,” an insider said. We weekly end of June. ‘He left very quickly after Bethenny.’
‘[Her family] thinks he’s a really nice, normal guy,” the source added. “They have a lot in common, he’s from Boston and Aurora is from a nearby area. Aurora recently spent time with him in Boston.”
The insider noted that the duo “met online” and “also had mutual friends, so it worked out.”
According to gossip blog Deuxmoi, the real estate developer and Aurora were spotted kissing at The Quin House in Boston in May.
Although their relationship appears to be gaining momentum, Bernon was not invited to Aurora’s sister Olivia Culpo’s wedding to Christian McCaffrey.
The sisters clashed over the lack of an invite to Aurora’s podcast, Barely filteredwhere Aurora called the move ‘rude’.

But Olivia replied, “No, [it’s] “It’s rude to invite someone I’ve never met.”
Later in the episode, which was taped before Olivia’s wedding, Aurora tried a different approach: she asked the former Miss USA winner if her “friend” could come with her.
But that wasn’t an option for Olivia either, because she called Paul the ‘flavor of the month’.
She joked, “Not interested.”
Olivia did have a message for Paul himself, though. “I’m sorry, it’s not a reflection of you,” the newlyweds clarified. “It’s a reflection of my sister.”
Although Paul did not receive a formal invitation to the ceremony, he did participate in the festivities leading up to the wedding, according to American weekly magazine.
