Bethenny Frankel and Eric Stonestreet Set the Dating Rumors Straight

Bethenny Frankel and Eric Stonestreet were romantically linked last summer, so when the Real Housewives of New York star invited the Modern Family actor to be a guest on her SiriusXM show B Real with Bethenny on Wednesday morning, they took the opportunity to set the record straight.

“People want to clear up our dating rumors, so you can clear them up or I can clear them up,” she said. “I mean, are we getting engaged today on the radio? Should we tell everybody?"

"Well, I did bring a ring,” Stonestreet joked.

The 45-year-old said she met Stonestreet, 44, through a friend at a “douche, Hollywood industry party” last spring.

“As you had no idea I was straight in real life, I had no idea who you were. Sorry!“ Stonestreet said. "When she said, ‘This is the queen of reality,’ I thought… she meant you were like the queen bee reality agent. You were like a CAA agent that would put me on a show. I’m like, 'Okay, yeah. Thank you. Nice to meet you. So good.’ As I started talking to you, she said something about Skinnygirl, and I said to you, 'Oh my God! You created Skinnygirl?’"

"And then what did you say next?” Frankel asked.

“'You’ve gotten me laid,’" Stonestreet said.

The two continued to talk at the bash and even exchanged phone numbers, but Frankel didn’t think much of it. Later in the night, when she was leaving with another man, a “wasted” Stonestreet stopped her.

"I said, 'Why are you talking to these guys? I’m the most interesting person here,’” he recalled.

“Exactly! And I thought that was very confident and I liked that, but I still thought you were gay,” Frankel said. “I asked my assistants: 'Is Eric Stonestreet [gay]?’ Because I didn’t even know your name. I knew you were Cam [a character on 'Modern Family’]. I said, 'Is he gay?’ And they said, 'F— no! He’s from Kansas City. He’s such a guys’ guy. He’s into sports. I was like, 'Oh!’ And then we had lunch the next day, and here we are getting engaged.“

Today the two are just friends and know how to have a good laugh about their adventure in dating.
