Fifteen years ago, Bethenny Frankel‘s reality show Bethenny Getting Married?, which was later renamed to Bethenny Ever After, premiered on Bravo. Season 1 of the series featured Frankel’s March 2010 wedding to Jason Hoppy, as well as the birth of their daughter, Bryn, two months later.

Unfortunately, the love did not last between Frankel and Hoppy. They split in December 2012 after less than three years of marriage, and Frankel filed for divorce in January 2013. A bitter custody battle followed, and it took eight years for the divorce to be fully finalized.
