**Bethenny Frankel Sizzles in Saint-Tropez, Fuels Romance Rumors with German Artist Niclas Castello**

Former Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel has concluded her luxurious Saint-Tropez vacation, sharing a stunning photo carousel on Monday that captures the highlights of her incredible trip. The 53-year-old entrepreneur took to Instagram to post the pics, including a sizzling swimsuit shot that has left fans drooling.

Lounging on a daybed at a beachside club in Saint-Tropez, Bethenny radiates charm in her purple one-piece, accessorized with a straw hat and designer sunglasses. In another photo, her 14-year-old daughter Bryn, whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy, looks adorable in a pink swimsuit as she poses beside her stunning mother.

Bethenny captioned the post, “How it started >>> How it ended. I can go from Hermes to the Dollar Tree in five seconds. These vacation moments literally define my life.” The photo dump comes after Bethenny and German artist Niclas Castello fueled romance rumors while enjoying a beach day together in Saint-Tropez.

The Skinny Girl founder and the 46-year-old sculptor exchanged flirtatious glances while enjoying the beautiful weather, lounging side by side in adjacent chairs. Castello was previously married to Dutch model Sylvie Meis, who was often compared to Victoria Beckham during her previous marriage to internationally renowned Dutch footballer Rafael van der Vaart.

In May, it was revealed that Bethenny had ended her engagement to real estate investor Paul Bernon, with whom she had an on-and-off relationship dating back to 2018. The Saint-Tropez trip comes after Bethenny landed in hot water once again after posting a TikTok about the residents of the Hamptons.

She took to her social media in early July to share her thoughts on the popular seaside community in Long Island, New York, claiming it’s not only for “rich people” but also for minorities. However, followers swiftly condemned the racially charged remarks, with The View cohost Ana Navarro leading the pack.

News flash: White people are not the only ones capable of having money. There are rich Black people and rich “Latins,” Navarro posted. In September 2023, Bethenny was also slammed for giving away “leftover makeup” to T.J. Maxx employees, which she filmed in a TikTok video. She was labeled “out of touch” by one social media user, while fellow Bravo star Carole Radziwill called the action a “white savior complex.”
