Bethenny Frankel was seen with her new boyfriend Tom Villante on Monday in Miami as they took in the Art Basel show.

They were seen side by side as they walked on the coastline.

The 54-year-old Real Housewives of New York veteran wore a summery long blue-and-orange dress with sunglasses and a hat on. 

Her partner, 56, modeled a navy blue Alo hoodie, ivory shorts, a blue royal cap, sneakers  and sunglasses.

The reality TV diva has been dating the Yapstone founder since this summer as they have been seen holding hands while out to dinner together. 

This comes after the diva from NYC posed in a colorful string bikini at her hotel in an image shared to Instagram.

'Not here for the art... Just here for life. Art Basel weekend in Miami wouldn’t be complete without good friends, amazing food, and a little sun! ☀️' wrote the TV siren in her caption as she added the hashtags #miaminightlife #momsnightout.

The 54-year-old Real Housewives of New York veteran wore a summery long blue-and-orange dress with sunglasses and a hat on.

She has been seen with Tom for the past several months.

They were last spotted together on Friday as they held hands while strolling on the shore in Miami. She wore a white dress while he had on dark colors.

Her last romance was with fiance Paul Bernon.

Frankel has one child, daughter Bryn Hoppy, with her ex Jason Hoppy, whom she wed in 2010 and finalized her divorce from in 2021.

This comes after Frankel said she hasn't always enjoyed celebrating her birthday.

The star shared her birthday with her mom Bernadette - who died of lung cancer in April - and Bethenny has now admitted that their 'complicated' relationship made it difficult for her to celebrate the occasion.

The TV star wrote on Instagram: 'I was born on my mother's 20th birthday. I was never public about sharing her birthday. 

'Our relationship was complicated at best and it represented pain and shame. Its symbolism was inescapable.

'Birthdays have always been an incredible source of anxiety. Like Goldilocks, too little was too little and too much was too much. 

'The biggest trauma in my life was this mother daughter relationship, and we were tethered to one another on this one day. As a child I would get physically sick every year.'

By contrast, Bethenny admitted that she now feels 'lighter' and 'happier'.

The TV star also revealed that she feels proud of her age and who she's become.

Bethenny continued: 'This year, I feel free, lighter, happier as if something has been lifted. It has been profoundly transformative. I am proud of my age and of the mother, friend, partner and person I am and I am truly happy. I have everything I want and need.

'Thank you for giving me the greatest gift I could ever ask for which is your love, understanding and support. I learn from you every day.

'Happy Birthday to myself… xoxo [celebration emojis].

'PS. I can't wait to show you the vintage Mercedes I bought in her honor… #happybirthday.'
