Apparently, Skinnygirl founder Bethenny Frankel and her hubby/Bethenny Ever After co-star Jason Hoppy are heading to divorce court, reports Star. Rumors have been swirling about the couple’s unhappiness after all of their fighting on this season of their hit reality show. Star also reports that both parties have sought the legal counsel on this matter and that an insider acknowledges that their divorce is “imminent.” The story also goes on to say that B may have wandering eyes for her Skinnygirl business partner Matt Hesse after their were spotted holding hands and canoodling together at upscale restaurant Phillippe Chow in NYC. Ruh-roh!

If they indeed go through with a divorce, and depending on their pre-nup which was modified after their marriage, Jason might make a few bucks. It depends on where they file-New York or California (where the Mrs. is currently living while filming her new talk show) and if her Skinnygirl wealth is viewed as marital property. But according to Star’s insider, “Jason has said that when he is ready to officially file for divorce, he is ready to call Bethenny out on her infidelity and name Matt in the papers. He feels absolutely entitled to half of her fortune. He feels betrayed and doesn’t care about Bethenny’s financial fallout once he gets what he wants. It’s all karma.” The wrath of a scorned man! Forbes estimates that Frankel made $55 million from May 2010 to May 2011, and that she signed the deal selling Skinnygirl spirits to Beam Global for over $100 million in May 2011. That’s a lot of dough to fight over.
Hopefully, things will stay amicable for their daughter Bryn’s sake. Are you surprised that they are headed down this path?
