Life is precious

Bethenny experienced the fragility of life firsthand last year through experiences such as the passing of Jill Zarin's husband, Bobby Zarin, in January, the loss of her on-off boyfriend Dennis Shields on August 10 and her near-fatal reaction to a "rare fish allergy" in December.

However, Bethenny, who went public with her rumored new relationship at the end of 2018, shared some posts from her New Year's celebration that show that she is now looking ahead to 2019 and looking forward to all the happy times on the way.
