Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy split

OHMYGOSSIP — Bethenny Frankel has announced her split from husband Jason Hoppy. The pair have been married two years and raise daughter Bryn, 2, together. The couple announced their split in a statement to Us Weekly magazine Sunday.

“This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family,” Frankel said, adding that the situation brings her “great sadness.”

“We have love and respect for one another and will continue to amicably co-parent our daughter who is and will always remain our first priority. This is an immensely painful and heartbreaking time for us.”

“They care about each other. They’re both devastated,” a source said of the split. “Bethenny fought really hard for her family.”

Previous reports claimed the marriage was crumbling because Frankel has been putting work before marriage.

“Jason has made it crystal clear to Bethenny that he is not in favor of her continuing her talk show, which will be filming in Los Angeles,” a source said.

“Jason hates L.A. and doesn’t want to move to California, even for the sake of his wife’s career.

“Bethenny is contractually obligated to film in Los Angeles however, and she would never even contemplate breaching the deal. Jason has warned Bethenny that he won’t be moving to L.A. with her when filming begins in 2013.

“Bethenny suspects though that Jason’s beef isn’t with living in Los Angeles, but rather how unhappy he is in the marriage. Things are so bad between the two of them right now they are hardly even talking to each other.”
