Bethenny Frankel's on again/off again boyfriend, Dennis Shields found dead

[Anonymous]

His estranged wife has pictures of she and her boyfriend all over Instagram but since Dennis passed started posting pictures of she and Dennis together like they were happily married until his death. She is some kind if nut.

+1

Repeating this "she stole a married man" narrative doesn't make it true.

I think it’s her way of grieving. They were together for a long time. Even though they had both moved on, I’m sure his death is opening old wounds and she wants to remember happier times with him.

Friends of Bethenny are stating that Dennis proposed 4 months ago.

Yes. But I don’t think it’s too unusual to have divorces drag out when lots of money is involved. Especially since I doubt Dennis and his wife had a prenup.u

Exactly he has a lot of money and a few businesses and wife probably wouldn't accept his first offer after being with him since he was 23. Also in NY you have to be legally separated for 1 year before divorce.

Wait, how did Katie Holmes get divorced so fast? I thought she was divorced in like 3 months from moving to NY?

Pre-nup and/or they agreed to terms and/or it was under California law. Any number of possibilities.

They got married in Italy, so who knows how they legalized it in the US.

Not like she was going to get what she thought she was 'worth'.

Matt Lauer's wife is only getting $20 million. A) She was married to him for 2+ decades. B) He made more than that in a single year.

The divorce was finalized in NY within 2 months of her filing. They did have a pre-nup. NY allows for quick divorces, not sure where the one-year waiting period PP is referencing came from.

Matt’s estimated net worth is only between 60-80M. Her 20M payout plus proceeds from the sale of their properties would be more than generous. Additionally, this article states that he gave her a large payout in 2006 to continue to be married to him.

LOL What proceeds? The man is up to his eyeballs in property debt like a certain man on trial. He sold his Manhattan condos already for a million more than he bought it but has had to slash the first Hamptons property by $5 million and its still not selling. That's on top of the fact that the New Zealand property is a lease. Should be interesting to see what happens to the $37 million second Hamptons home. He bought it for 50% off the list price of $65 million. Not sure he can afford to sell a house for $15 million this time around.

Don’t you mean that THEY are up to their eyeballs in property debt? She’s an owner of those properties as well. And if they are really taking as much of a loss as you say, then her 20M cash payment isn’t that low like the PP upthread implied.

No, I don't mean they. Pretty sure only one name is on the mortgage and qualifying loans. Hence the fire sale is always under his name. She did buy some of the land that the Hamptons home sits on.
