Now that Paul Bernon has publicly started dating [Aurora Culpo](https://www.instagram.com/auroraculpo/), the sister of [Olivia Cuplo](https://www.instagram.com/oliviaculpo/), [the Skinnygirl mogul](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/07/09/luann-de-lesseps-v-bethenny-frankel/) has quite a bit to say about their split and seeing Paul move on.

I mean, it was rough because I had to experience the same breakup twice, but way worse the second time because I had to hear about all these details,”*** she explained. Bethenny then addressed the reason she called off her engagement with Paul. ***“I went through a breakup. It was something that I kept to myself. It was something that I mourned on my own, and I did therapy, and I did the work,”*** Bethenny stated. ***“The breakup was something that I initiated,”*** she continued. ***“I wasn’t happy. Something needed to change. It was certainly mutual. The relationship had its challenges, and nobody dumped anybody.”*** ![Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon breakup.](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Real-Housewives-Of-New-York-Alum-Bethenny-Frankel-Splits-From-Boyfriend-Paul-Bernon.jpg)Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon breakup. Despite being sad about the breakup and seeing Paul move on so easily, Bethenny still feels like she made the right decision. ***“It wasn’t a relationship I wanted to be in, and it wasn’t a person that I wanted to be with anymore, to be honest, for many reasons that I really had to come to terms with,” ***she said, adding that [her and Paul's relationship ended](https://allabouttrh.com/2024/05/08/bethenny-frankel-paul-bernon-split/) after the death of her mother, Bernadette Birk, in April 2024.
