The “RHONY” star was seen over the weekend in New York City with Boca Raton businessman Michael Toppel, and judging by the photos, the two seemed to be more than friends.
Toppel – a soon-to-be 50-year-old divorced dad of two – and Frankel, 44, were spotted at Bar Pitti in Greenwich Village and Zuma on Madison Avenue.
An insider insisted, however, that they “are just friends.”
The reality star and Toppel were first seen together in Miami Beach, the blog New York Gossip Gal reported.
Toppel had previously been married to stunning blonde socialite Brooke Toppel. Frankel was previously married to Jason Hoppy, and was recently ordered to give him $26,000 a month, plus $100,000 in lawyer fees, as part of their divorce settlement, Page Six reported. The two share one child together, a daughter named Bryn.
Most recently, Frankel was linked to Michael “Mac” Cerussi, but the two called it quits this past March.
Despite Frankel and Cerussi’s breakup, the former couple will be featured on season seven of “RHONY,” which is currently airing.
The Skinnygirl mogul recently released a book titled “I Suck at Relationships So You Don’t Have To."
Hopefully, she has better luck this time around, but hey, at least it’s out in the open.
