Bethenny is being “very secretive about Michael, and their relationship whenever she has been filming,” a source tells RadarOnline. “For Bethenny this time, she doesn’t want there to be a strong focus on her personal life.”
“Expect Michael to pop up in scenes, but it won’t be in depth,” the source said. “Bethenny wants to keep the relationship private for several obvious reasons.”
“Her never-ending divorce to Jason Hoppy is the main issue,” the source explained. “She doesn’t want him to point to anything she has done with Michael and use it against her in court.”
“Being legally married, with the divorce still pending, Bethenny is going to have to explain this all to their daughter, Bryn, 4, when she gets older,” the source continued.
“Bethenny wants to be able to tell Bryn she handled everything with class and dignity.” As we previously reported, producers are allegedly unhappy with Frankel for not bringing drama to the show.
“Producers brought Bethenny back to spice things up, and she is acting like some sort of advice guru,” the source explained.
