Bethenny Frankel Confirms She's "Open for Business" and Ready For Love Again

Following her split from Dennis and after her divorce having been finalized, Bethenny Frankel is ready for romance. The Real Housewives of New York City mogul had taken some time off from the dating game to focus on her business and her life as a mom, but now that the temps are heating up Bethenny is hoping the same goes for her love life.

“Summer's coming. It's time to put the Bethenny burners back on. I'm ready," she recently told Entertainment Tonight. "Open for business."

The Big Apple businesswoman noted in the interview that she's ready to put more time into dating because she now has the energy to make it a bigger priority in her life. "People always ask me about my love, or lack of love, life. I've been really focused on work and my daughter so much and sometimes, something has to give and it was just that," she said. “If I do anything, I wanna do it well,” she says. “If I date, I wanna do it really well. So, I can't be dating unless I'm ready to, like, go full monty. You know? And, by the way, that's turning now. I'm ready to get back on that horse.”

Bethenny confirmed using yet another racing and equestrian metaphor just how ready she is for love. “I ripped the Band-Aid off, like, two days ago. I did. Just lit the flame, lit the match, put the burners on, and I'm off to the races," she added.

Not that Bethenny is slowing down at all. Next up in addition to RHONY, she'll appear with Fredrik Eklund on a new Bravo show, Keeping It Real Estate. Get more details about the project, below.
