Bethenny Frankel and Jill Zarin might be two of the most polarizing Real Housewives of New York OGs of all time. Well, they’re right up there with Ramona Singer, that’s for sure.
Jill and Bethenny haven’t been on the show for several seasons (especially since Bravo totally rebooted the cast). However, they made their distinct marks on the network that can never be forgotten. They also both have a history of behind-the-scenes drama with Bravo, so they’ve always been connected one way or another.
During the early days of RHONY, Jill and Bethenny’s friendship (and subsequent fallout) was central to the storyline. Without their drama, who knows if the show would’ve grown into what it’s become today. While Jill and Bethenny haven’t been besties for quite a while, the two recently reunited to warm the OG RHONY fans’ hearts.
Jill and Bethenny’s modern-day reunion
Jill recently took to Instagram to share a photo of her reunion with Bethenny in The Hamptons, of course. The two controversial former Bravo stars looked gorgeous in their contrasting black-and-white gowns for an evening dinner. “Beautiful weekend in the Hamptons! So so happy,” Jill wrote in the caption.
Alongside a solo shot of the former duo, Jill and Bethenny also took a photo with their daughters Ally Shapiro and Brynn Hoppy all grown up. Regardless of what you think of Jill and Bethenny’s trajectory as reality stars, it is adorable to see the two OGs reunite for a wholesome evening. We have to take a win where we can. It’s hard to celebrate most things having to do with Bethenny and her presence on social media these days.
