‘RHONY’ Alum Kelly Bensimon Reveals She Was Speaking to Bethenny Frankel’s Boyfriend on a Dating App!

Kelly Bensimon and Bethenny Frankel may have left the chaos of Scary Island behind, but the Real Housewives of New York alums now share a new chapter in their storied rivalry—businessman Tom Villante.

While Bethenny has been dating Tom for months, Kelly recently revealed that she and Tom were briefly chatting on the celebrity dating app Raya this summer, unaware of his romance with her former castmate.

Kelly shared her account during Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea live show, where she opened up about creating a Raya profile after her June 2024 wedding to Scott Litner was called off just days before the ceremony. “I see this one guy, and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s kinda cute!’” Kelly explained. “He’s like, ‘Let’s talk… Let’s meet.’”

According to Kelly, she and Tom were “texting” frequently and even had a brief encounter outside NYC hotspot Le Bilboquet.

Despite plans to meet, scheduling conflicts and spotty cell service during their time in The Hamptons kept them from connecting.

Kelly said her plans with Tom came to an abrupt halt when a friend sent her a surprising article. “It says Bethenny Frankel is dating this guy,” she revealed, admitting she was taken aback by the coincidence. Her reaction? “Wait, what?! Again?!”

While Bethenny, who split from fiancé Paul Bernon earlier this year, has yet to comment on the situation, fans are keeping watch for her trademark candid response.

As Kelly and Bethenny’s dating stories intertwine once again, the drama may spill over to social media. Meanwhile, the reboot of The Real Housewives of New York airs tonight at 9/8c on Bravo.
