Bethenny Frankel not dating Niclas Castello

Former "The Real Housewives of New York City" star Bethenny Frankel and German artist Niclas Castello recently ignited dating rumors after being photographed together on a beach in St. Tropez. However, sources have clarified that their interaction was purely platonic, as Castello is reportedly in a relationship with aspiring Bravolebrity Anna Rothschild. The two began dating around the same time as the beach sighting, dispelling any notions of a romantic connection between Castello and Frankel. According to insiders, skincare mogul Peter Thomas Roth introduced Castello to Rothschild during a vacation in St. Tropez, and they have been dating for approximately two months. A source emphasized that Castello was never romantically involved with Frankel, noting that the beach photos were taken while they were part of a larger group of ten people. Castello and Rothschild have confirmed their relationship, with the couple currently enjoying time together in New York City. They have been spotted engaging in playful activities, including a lively dinner at Cipriani Downtown, where they reportedly displayed affectionate behavior. Rothschild also took Castello on a gallery tour, showcasing her daughter's art space, further indicating the couple's budding romance. As the relationship develops, it remains to be seen how it will be portrayed in the media, especially with connections to the Bravo network. A representative for Bravo has yet to comment on the situation, and Frankel has not responded to inquiries regarding the matter.
