Bethenny Frankel, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan Reunite — Is a New Project in the Works?
Bethenny Frankel just reignited Real Housewives buzz with a cryptic Instagram on Wednesday, April 8—lip-syncing a viral Kim Kardashian audio alongside Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan—hinting the trio has a new project cooking.
Well, this is a twist: Bethenny, Ramona, and Sonja just popped back into frame together, and they did it with a wink big enough to start rumors all over again.
On Wednesday, April 8, Bethenny Frankel, 55, posted an Instagram video where she mouths along to Kim Kardashian audio from a popular TikTok sound. Then she steps back, pulls in Ramona Singer, 69, and Sonja Morgan, 62, and the three of them hug and grin like they know exactly what they are doing.
"Did you miss us? Because we missed you."
Fans went feral in the comments, basically treating the trio like returning royalty. Fair.
So... what are they teasing?
TMZ recently said Bethenny, Ramona, and Sonja were in Paris earlier this month working on a secret project. Between that and this Instagram reunion, it sure looks like the tease is about whatever they shot there. No details yet, just a heavy nudge-nudge.
Meanwhile, Bethenny says the E! spinoff is not for her
In March, Bethenny made it pretty clear she is not joining E!'s Real Housewives of New York City offshoot. Her logic: being on that kind of reality show used to help when she was pushing her own brand, but now she partners with a lot of companies and equity deals, and those partners are not thrilled with that genre. She also said some of her former castmates asked her to come back, but the paycheck it would take is more than E! would pay, and even bringing that number up would just stir up resentment like it did before. Translation: not worth the chaos.
E! is still moving ahead with its RHONY offshoot
E! has already titled the spinoff 'The Golden Life' and started locking in cast. Here is where that stands:
- Ramona Singer
- Sonja Morgan
- Dorinda Medley
- Luann de Lesseps
- Kelly Bensimon
- Jill Zarin was initially part of it, then was dropped after she slammed Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show. Yes, that is an extremely specific reason to be fired.
Where Bethenny lands right now
She says old castmates tried to recruit her for a reunion, but she passed. Reason one: money. Reason two: lifestyle. She likes not being told where to be, when to film, or how to play it, and she is guarding her peace these days.
So, big picture: do not expect Bethenny on 'The Golden Life.' But a separate Bethenny-Ramona-Sonja thing that was filmed in Paris? That feels very much alive. For now, we have one well-timed hug, one viral sound, and a lot of speculation — which is exactly how these things start.
