Bethenny Frankel has denied wearing her engagement ring from her ex-fiancé, Paul Bernon, amid his apparent current romance with Aurora Culpo.
“It’s amazing how people assume things. She’s not wearing an engagement ring. She has a ton of jewelry. This is ridiculous,” the “Real Housewives of New York City” alum’s rep told Page Six Monday.
The former Bravolebrity, 53, sparked speculation that she was sporting the significant jewelry in her most recent Instagram snap, which showed her modeling a white one-piece bathing suit while in her “happy place,” the Hamptons.
“Suit yourself,” she cheekily captioned the photo, adding the hashtags #summer #weekend #hamptons #happyplace.

Though most of the comments left beneath the upload gushed over Frankel’s “gorg” and “fab” “BODY,” some followers couldn’t help but notice the flashy diamond on her left ring finger.
“Are you still engaged?” one person wrote.
The confusion about the bauble comes after Frankel and Bernon ended their three-year engagement in March.
Reports have since surfaced that the businessman, 45, is now dating beauty pageant queen Olivia Culpo’s eldest sister.
“Aurora and Paul have been dating for over two months now. He moved on very quickly after Bethenny,” a source told Us Weekly last Friday.

The source added that Bernon — who is also a film producer — would be Aurora’s date for Olivia’s wedding to NFL star Christian McCaffrey, which took place in Rhode Island on Saturday.
“Her family has met him and thinks he’s a really nice, ‘normal’ guy,” the source told the outlet.
“They have a lot in common with him being from Boston and Aurora from an area nearby. Aurora has been spending time in Boston with him recently.”
Bernon and the “Culpo Sisters” star, 35, reportedly hit it off after they “met online.” However, they apparently also have “mutual friends, so it worked out.”

The pair first made headlines last Thursday after Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi posted a tip that the two were spotted “making out” at a social club in Boston.
Deuxmoi also posted two pictures: one of Bernon with his arm around Aurora as they rode a boat along the coast of Rhode Island, and another of the duo talking in a parking lot.
As for his split from Frankel, a source previously told Us Weekly, “It just wasn’t going to work. They are so different — he’s an under-the-radar kind of guy.”
But for an “under-the-radar kind of guy,” Bernon sure did splurge on Frankel’s massive, emerald-shaped diamond engagement ring, which is worth an estimated $1 million.
