"Real Housewives of New York City" star Bethenny Frankel gave birth to daughter Bryn Hoppy on May 8, People magazine reports.
Bryn was born at 8 a.m. in New York City, weighing 4 pounds, 12 ounces, according to Frankel's rep. She is the first child for Frankel and husband Jason Hoppy, who wed March 28.
On her Twitter page, the new mom writes: "I can't express how happy I am&how beautiful,supportive&thoughtful u all are.Bryn is a tiny beautiful peanut.new chapter begins.thank you."
Of course, with the "Housewives" involved, even childbirth wasn't without drama.
On May 7, Frankel's "frenemy" Jill Zarin posted this premature, erroneous message on Facebook: "Heard Bethenny had a baby boy ... so happy for her and son. So happy for them," the New York Daily News reports.
Hundreds of commenters criticized Zarin for her blunder, so she posted an apology on Facebook: "Yesterday [my daughter] read a tweet and blog that Bethenny gave birth. We were excited and congratulated her obviously prematurely. I should have waited until B announced it herself. Sorry."
Sounds like season two fodder for Frankel's new Bravo reality show, "Bethenny Getting Married?," which premieres on June 10.

craig said...Jill Zarin is a card carrying, self serving Harpy that needs to GO!
Kelly and Luanne look like drag queens, Countless, you need to
get a hobby,(and something that does not involve singing as you
are horrible!) To the above three, it is obvious that "Money doesn't
give a damn who owns it".
Kudos to Bethaney, Alex, The very renewed Ramona, and Sonja,
We love you!

chichijunk said...Bethanny & Jason -
Congrats to your marriage, your new baby, and your new life! America is rooting for you!
Please stay the heck away from Kelly. She is mentally disturbed, psychotic & dangerous to herself, her kids, and everyone she comes in contact with. I see no good in having her in your presence, but hope that Bravo keeps her on RHONYC just to keep us viewers entranced by her self-absorbed chaotic thought processes. I hope when its all said and done and she has succeeded in alienating EVERY housewife and fan and she's in a straitjacket somewhere babbling incoherently to herself, Bravo comes out with a disclaimer saying that they kept her on the airwaves just to inform their viewers that Mental Health does rear its ugly head even amongst the rich and spoiled and to take notice of the signs.
You are intelligent, witty, and right on with every thing you have ever said. Keep up the level-headedness - we all admire you for it. That's why there is a Team Bethanny to begin with. Glad you are making peace with Jill even though it is from a distance - we're rooting for you there too (both).
