The "come forward early" part likely refers to a Perez Hilton post citing that she was indeed expecting -- just in much less classy language. Just this week, Frankel confirmed that she and boyfriend Jason Hoppy were engaged.
Her fellow housewives were in denial mode on Monday night. Jill Zarin told UsMagazine: "It's a rumor! I don't know why someone started that."
Frankel will be getting her own spin-off show on Bravo, and will also be on the next season of 'Housewives.'

Love Bethenny, but so disappointed that she's doing things in the WRONG order. We're supposed to get married first and THEN get pregnant. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her that this isn't another bad choice - I thought that her ex was a jerk. But she wasn't valuing herself enough as shown by shacking up with him. She hasn't known her fiancee for very long, so let's hope he's a good guy.

Netsurfer,
YOu are right. I thought it was me thinking that what the celebrities are doing; getting pregnant and maybe or not, getting married, is bad. It sends a bad message to everyone as well as the illegitimate children that have to deal with that the rest of their lives, having unstable parents.

Please tell me what century you are living in. Bethany is an adult who obviously can make her own decisions. What about all the teenagers that are getting pregnant. Some haven't even hit 13 and they find themselves in that prediciment. Love happens, sometimes quickly, and babies happen too. Especially when you want so desperately to find the right man and have a family. So what if it's not the order you think it should be in. It's Bethany's life, her decision, and I'm thrilled for her. Let's face it, after the baby comes, no one is ever going to say, what did you have that for, it was a big mistake. When babies show up whether planned or not you fall instantly in love and would throw yourself in front of a locomotive to protect you child.

Well, Nancy, just b/c 13 y/o girls get knocked up doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Babies need stable families no matter what century they're conceived. Single parenthood is more accepted now than it was a generation ago, but it's still a BAD thing for kids. Even animals know a proper nest is essential before bringing young into the world.

Well, I don't think celebrities are any different in this regard then many Americans. Bethenny is almost 40 years old, self sufficient, and successful... she can "shack up" with the man she loves and get pregnant without judgment for all I care. As a child of parents that planned my birth well before marriage, I can assure you that I am fine and my parents have been happily married for 25 years. Some people, especially successful adults in this day and age, look at marriage as just a piece of paper but a biological clock is not always negotiable. I am happy for them both for deciding to bring a child into this world... the child is just as precious whether conceived in or out of wedlock and will be loved.

Love Bethenny! Love Jill. The countess su ks. Alex McCord and Simon are A-OK with me despite all their haters. Is someone else on the show? I thought there was another one... hmmmmmm, no one else comes to mind. Oh well.... that doooshbag that does the season end show for housewives... he is too prissy and needs to GO.

If anyone should get their own show it should be Jill. She's a mover and a shaker in NYC Society. Bethenny is just not that interesting. But what better way to get her off Housewives than to give her her own show and then watch it fail. Bye, bye Bethenny!

Good for her. When she hits 8 months she should relax, kick up her feet and curl up to a good book, like SILLY LITTLE RICH GIRL.

Congrats to Bethanny!She & Romona seem to be the the most decent of the phony untalented bunch. Can't understand why these rich woman don't use birth control in todays world? Then they go oops. Jill, full of BS, the drama queen,doesn't help her own ballooning daughter, that countess, Alex & her husband are a sad group of Queens & Brooklyn wana bees low lifes.

Bethany is a friend of a friend of a friend. She is one classy lady and the one that any mom would want as a daughter-in-law. She got that drive with class and deserves all the happiness in the world. I wish I was younger.

Well Butthead, (appropriate name by the way), I did not mean it is acceptable for 13 year old girls to get pregnant. What I meant was Bethany is an adult in her late 30's. She is entitled to live her life, expect to be happy even if that means getting pregnant before marriage. I didn't mean it was okay for teenagers, but it happens alot more than we probably realize, and that's unfortunate for the young girls and the babies. I certainly don't approve or condon teen pregnancy, Butthead. And In response to xochaoxio212: What the Hell? Why don't you try free stuff or making lots of $$$ for Christmas or finally finding the right solution to quit smoking or losing weight at the best site around these days at simplyhonestdeals on the web, and the name says it all.
