Four months after splitting from her former fiancé Paul Bernon, it seems like Bethenny Frankel has a new man in her life.

The 53-year-old reality star, who spent the summer traveling with his 14-year-old daughter Bryn Hoppy, also apparently rekindled a new fire.

The reality star was spotted holding hands with Tom Villante on Sunday night after a romantic dinner in Santa Monica, California.

DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for comment.

Frankel looked fabulous in a frothy white cotton maxi dress with a plunging neckline and cutouts at the empire waist.

Her long, dark hair was styled in loose layers, she wore natural-looking make-up and bold red lips.

Bethenny Frankel has a new man in her life four months after splitting from former fiancé Paul Bernon. The influencer was spotted holding hands with her new crush Tom Villante on Sunday night after a romantic dinner in Santa Monica, California.

The former Real Housewives of New York contestant added another splash of color, carrying a bright pink handbag with a metal chain.

Villante looked handsome in a white button-down shirt with rolled cuffs and grey pants with a subtle check pattern, paired with black slippers and no socks.

He wore a shaggy beard and his graying hair was cut short so that his natural curls were easily visible.

Villante is co-founder and CEO of YapStone, a payment processing platform for vacation rental operators.

The company was founded in 1999.

The couple dined at the famous Italian restaurant “Giorgio Baldi”, which is very popular with Hollywood stars.

The Skinny Girl founder shared a video clip of her meal, which included two different types of ravioli and some Bolognese sauce.

“Wow, it’s beautiful,” she was heard saying on camera.

“I'm in LA and I'm sorry I forgot to bring you,” Frankel captioned the clip.

That wasn't the only thing she forgot to tell. An eyewitness reported that the two kissed passionately as they left the bar.

Another clip showed the beautiful sea view from their location.

In a video shot in front of the Chanel store in Beverly Hills, the influencer seemed to tease her followers with the promise of big news.

“Are we ready or is it too early?” she seemed to ask someone outside the camera’s view.

“I think it’s too early,” she whispered before turning off the camera.

It is unclear how the new lovebirds met. Frankel met her former fiancé Paul Bernal, 60, through a dating app in 2018
