Reality TV personality, entrepreneur, author, and philanthropist Bethenny Frankel is reportedly dating Shane L. Campbell, a Florida-based financial advisor. According to his LinkedIn, he is the Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting’s Corporate Finance division in NYC.
On April 10, Frankel, 55, was spotted with her new beau at the 2026 Global Champions Arabian Tour red carpet in Miami Beach. A source close to the couple told the Daily Mail on Monday:
“They were holding hands during the entire event and barely left each other’s side. They seemed to enjoy each other’s company.”
Another insider added:
“Bethenny is the happiest she’s ever been and is fully in her intentional dating era.”
A third source mentioned:
“Bethenny was in a great mood and mixed and mingled with guests, but ultimately spent time with her date. She was definitely conscious that this was their first outing – but once 50 [Cent] and Sean Paul came on, she let her guard down and they were dancing together.”
The Daily Mail reported that during the night, Bethenny Frankel was even captured wearing Shane L. Campbell’s navy blazer. In the event’s aftermath, the Real Housewives of New York City alum shared on TikTok:
“It’s just a fun event, they have great music, the food is Carbone, it’s a vibe. I talked about it last year. Everyone’s an international man of mystery. You feel like you’re in a romance novel.”
Bethenny Frankel also praised 50 Cent’s performance, adding she “lives for him” while also lauding Sean Paul.

Shane L. Campbell was born and raised in Alberta, Canada. He moved to New York to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in economics at Princeton University and graduated magna cum laude. Before becoming an investment banker, he played professional ice hockey and was part of the men’s Division I team at Princeton for four years.
He earned his MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina.
Shane L. Campbell began his career as an analyst at Dove Consulting and RBS Greenwich Capital. In 2008, he joined NTC-based boutique banking firm Cronus Partners LLC as the Managing Director and Partner. For seven years, Bethenny Frankel’s boyfriend helped the firm with middle market mergers, acquisitions, financial advisory, and capital raising, with a focus on the energy sector.
Campbell joined FTI Consulting in July 2015. Before he was promoted to his current role, he served as a licensed investment banker for the company’s publicly traded division called FTI Capital Advisors LLC.

Campbell now divides his time between Miami and New York City.
Bethenny Frankel did not name Shane as her new boyfriend. However, over the weekend, she shared in an Instagram video that she met a man on her brand-new dating membership community, The Core, and was exchanging texts for a while before she “shut it down” as it got a “little bread-crumby.”
But they soon reconnected at a bar, before he drove “an hour and a half” to see her. This is when Bethenny Frankel took him seriously and went on a “five-hour date” with him.
More dates followed, which she described as “very planned out, very intentional, and very chivalrous.” In fact, she shared that the dates often turned out like the ones on The Bachelor reality show. At one point, the Skinnygirl founder noted the man even offered to pick her up from the airport.
“There are still amazing men out there. Do not settle. Do not accept breadcrumbs. Do not accept low-hanging fruit and low lifts of just, like, checking in with you and giving you the news and the weather… A man has to have a plan to move the ball forward and show you exactly how they feel about you,” Frankel advised her followers.
For a year in the mid-1990s, Bethenny Frankel was married to entertainment executive Peter Sussman. Years later, in March 2010, she tied the knot with pharmaceutical sales executive Jason Hoppy and welcomed a daughter, Bryn, 15, with him.
The couple went their separate ways in December 2012 and Bethenny filed for divorce a month later. However, it dragged on until January 2021 due to their child custody dispute.
Last year, she appeared on the Call Her Daddy podcast and told Alex Cooper that the divorce was “traumatic” and at one point made her feel she wouldn’t “survive” it.
Bethenny Frankel previously dated another banker, Dennis Shields, on and off from 2016 until his fatal accidental overdose in August 2018. At the time, they were reportedly engaged for four months.
Between 2018 and 2024, Frankel romanced Peabody Award-winning film producer and real estate developer Paul Bernon. They were briefly engaged in 2021. The relationship ended with Bethenny citing that she wasn’t happy in the long run.
