The former 'Real Housewives of New York City' star went her separate ways from her partner a "couple of weeks ago" after two years of dating.
A source has confirmed to Us Weekly magazine that the couple - who began dating in October 2018, a few months after Bethenny's on-off boyfriend Dennis Shields died - have decided to split.
Bethenny had a tough time after the passing of Dennis and admitted she found it "hard to breathe" following his death.
She wrote on Twitter at the time: "It's hard to breathe & I appreciate you giving me the space & support to try to do so. It's excruciating-sudden death is no closure & constant ?s & memories. Our relationship is current so it's painfully raw. Trying to stay healthy & move through it w tears & close friends. Xo (sic)"
A source added: "She is devastated. She loved him.
"He was her family and [her eight-year-old daughter] Bryn's family. Bryn loved him. Dennis was Bethenny's partner, her family, her business partner and her best friend. He helped her with things - emotionally and professionally, and he was her confidante. No question that she did love this guy."
In 2019, Bethenny marked the new year with film producer Paul and their children and at the time, a source said she looked "very happy" on the trip away.
They said: "She seemed to be very happy, hanging out with her boyfriend and some friends. The kids were always out and about running around having fun, while Bethenny spent a lot of time hanging out on the beach, talking a lot and holding court with her group. She used the outdoor jacuzzi, spa steam room, and at one point, she and her boyfriend went for a walk and held hands. They seemed happy."
