Bethenny Frankel Considers More Babies – And Another Season!

Category : Bethenny Frankel, New Celebrity Moms

In an exclusive interview with Life & Style Magazine, Bethenny Frankel is in can’t-eat, can’t-sleep, head over heels love — with her beautiful daughter, Bryn, who was born on May 8. But with her biological clock continuing to tick, Bethenny opens up to Life & Style about whether she and husband Jason Hoppy will have the second child he’s always wanted.

“I originally thought we would want one, but Jason really wants another,” Bethenny says about possibly expanding the Hoppy brood. “But I’m just so in love with Bryn right now that I want to focus completely on her,” she says about her daughter, who also answers to nicknames ChicKpea, Booboo and Sunshine Bunny – to name a few. “For me, marriage and kids ended up happening at the same time because of my age, I suppose, and because we were both in the same place and both ready,” Bethenny tells Life & Style, acknowledging that they aren’t “spring chickens.” “I’m not 25, so I don’t have all the options in the world. I have to make a decision somewhat soon.”

One thing Bethenny definitely wants is a second season of her hit Bravo spin-off, Bethenny Getting Married? “It just shows that you don’t have to be psychotic, and there doesn’t have to be drama or slapping people in the face,” the star says of her family-oriented show. But since her and Jason tied the knot on the July 8 episode, Bethenny has a new title suggestion: “Bethenny Turning 40!”

Spoiler Alert! BACHELORETTE CONTESTANT CAUGHT KISSING HIS EX

Category : Celebrity Chat

Life & Style has exclusively obtained photos of Bachelorette contestant Justin Rego kissing his ex, while still competing for Ali Fedotowsky’s heart on air.

According to RealitySteve.com, in the show’s explosive June 28 episode, it’s revealed that entertainment wrestler Justin Rego had two girlfriends at home during filming — and the tripletiming contestant didn’t even have the decency to wait for his send-off episode before stepping out with one of his other women.

In the exclusive photos, PDA-happy Justin and his ex Jessica Spillas couldn’t keep their hands off each other during a June 4 shopping spree in Toronto’s Queen Street West neighborhood. “They were laughing and joking together as if they didn’t have a care in the world,” an onlooker tells Life & Style.
