Jason Hoppy

So much for a friendly split.

The Bethenny Frankel divorce case against Jason Hoppy has grown seriously contentious, with the main obstacle between the former couple also being the cutest:

Two-year old daughter Brynn.

Both sides have filed for primary custody of the little one, with a source telling Us Weekly that Hoppy really did intend to "play nice" at the outset of this break-up.

The Bethenny Frankel divorce case is growing uglier by the day.

After each side in this split made its divorce demands known - both Bethenny and ex-husband Jason Hoppy are seeking primary custody of daughter Bryn - a new issue has arisen over Frankel's desire to take Brynn on a business trip to Australia.

Because Hoppy is having none of it.

“He doesn’t think it’s good for their little girl to travel half way around the world," an insider tells Radar Online. "It’s causing nothing but more stress to the divorce proceedings, which have turned extremely hostile."

Unfortunately, it's about to get ugly between Jason Hoppy and Bethenny Frankel.

A few weeks after Frankel filed for divorce and made such legal demands as primary custody of daughter Brynn; sole use of the couple's residence; and child support from her ex, Hoppy has gone ahead... and done pretty much the exact same thing.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Hoppy is also seeking primary custody of the two-year old, while asking for child support and all medical expenses related to himself and Brynn.

Despite many denials in the past, Bethenny Frankel has now come out and admitted the unfortunate truth:

Her marriage to Jason Hoppy is over.

"It brings me great sadness to say that Jason and I are separating," the reality star said in a statement. "This was an extremely difficult decision that as a woman and a mother, I have to accept as the best choice for our family.

"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."

Let's give Bethenny Frankel a little bit of credit.

She may exploit her personal problems for professional ratings, but at least the reality star is somewhat up front about them. She isn't blaming divorce chatter on anonymous sources or misguided tabloid stories.

In the latest issue of People, Frankel admits that, yes, she and husband Jason Hoppy have suffered through many ups and downs. Their union is far from perfect.

"We've been scared. The second year of marriage was not easy," Bethenny tells the magazine. "We hit bottom, [but] we came out the other side."

Frankel and Hoppy's issues were on full display for most of Bethenny Ever After, the celebrity's follow-up to The Real Housewives of New York City.

But now that she's away from those programs - "I'm done with putting my personal life and family on reality television... Enough about me," Frankel says - Bethenny believes the future is bright.

"I think we have what it takes to make it work. I don't have a backup plan. It's not like shopping for shoes and getting a new pair. That's not what it's about."

They survived a fake adventure at sea. But can Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy survive rumors of the former's infidelity?

The latest issue of Star Magazine claims these reality stars are headed for an "imminent divorce" and Bethenny's cheating heart/crotch is the reason why. She has gotten really close with Skinnygirl business partner Matt Hesse... if you know what we mean!

An onlooker tells the tabloid that Frankel and Hesse shared a meal at Phillipe Chow's in NYC a few months ago and:

“They walked through the restaurant with his chest pressed up against her back, and she leaned back and he whispered in her ear. Then, they went up the stairs to a private dining area together, literally with their arms wrapped around each other.”

Hoppy is allegedly aware of this relationship and, the insider claims, will "call Bethenny out on her infidelity and name Matt in the papers" once he files for divorce.

This isn't the first time a tabloid has reported problems between the couple, who share a cute daughter named Bryn.

In March, sources said Hoppy stormed out of the pair's apartment and had checked in to a hotel.

Bethenny Frankel has admitted in the past that her marriage isn't perfect. (Poor Jason Hoppy and his cobweb-filled penis!)

But now In Touch Weekly is reporting the relationship is in serious trouble, with Hoppy recently storming out of the pair's New York City residence and checking in to the Cosmopolitan Hotel.

“The fighting has gotten worse,” an insider says of the reality TV-based couple, citing Frankel's obsession with her looks and her fame as a cause of the contention. “Her energy has been nervous and neurotic. He can’t take it anymore, so he’s been doing everything on his own.”

Hoppy is just telling friends he's living elsewhere temporarily, however, and referencing renovation on the tandem's $5 million apartment as the reason why.

Bethenny and Jason have a 23-month old daughter named Brynn.

There may be a lot of action ahead on the new season of Bethenny Ever After  - which premieres February 20 on Bravo - but none of it will take place between the sheets.

So says the star herself in the latest issue of Life & Style, telling the tabloid her marriage is "not perfect."

Note to Bethenny: When it bed, put down the phone and pick up your husband's... nevermind.

"Jason and I are just settling into what married life really is, without the excitement of a wedding and the baby," Frankel says. "We come from totally different backgrounds, and we're going through it. I'm in therapy. I've always been good at business, but I've always struggled with relationships."

Case in point: on the premiere, viewers will listen as Frankel explains that "intimacy" between the couple is "challenging," giving us an image we now can't erase from our minds: "Jason's penis has cobwebs on it."

Enjoy quips such as this while you can, fans: the third season of Bethenny Ever After will be this show's swan song.

Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy are headed for a divorce because the former will soon grow sick and tired of her pathetic husband.

At least according to Bethenny Frankel's mother, Bernadette Birk, a woman who makes Dina Lohan look like Parent of the Century.

"Right now, he is a good father, but soon she won’t need him and she will dump him," Bernadette tells Star Magazine. “It won’t last. He is really too weak for her.”

Can we take away the question mark in the title of Bethenny Getting Married? now please? She's both hitched in real life and even on her TV show.

This week, her and husband Jason Hoppy jetted off to St. Bart for their honeymoon, which included skinny dipping, anxiety and more. Also, Bethenny posed for a pregnant nude photo shoot. Take it away, THG Real Housewives correspondent....

With their fabulous wedding behind them and Shawn getting himself cryogenically frozen so he can get some serious rest, Bethenny and Jason jet off to honeymoon on St. Bart’s.  “I’m trying to be the sexy new bride but I’m a disaster,” Bethenny says. 

This statement sets us up for a week filled with immense fun and laughter as well as hormone-induced crying jags and panic attacks, the highs and the lows occurring most likely within two seconds of each other.

Once on the island, they hop into their rental BMW and speed off across the gorgeous landscape.  Of course they are renting a BMW - can you imagine these two in a Ford Fiesta?  They arrive at the resort where they have a private villa with butler service.  Their villa is gorgeous, enormous, and complete with their own huge pool with giant turtles wandering around it, munching contentedly on tropical grasses.

As soon as their luggage hits the floor, Bethenny is immediately topless and she and Jason are in the pool.  “When those doors opened, honestly, you took my breath away,” Jason tells Bethenny about their wedding day. 

They say many sweet things to each other and what little clothes they were wearing end up in a sodden heap pool-side.  Gigantic iguanas look on suspiciously from the bushes. Jason and Bethenny’s entire submerged and naked bodies are blurred out.

Next, the two hit the beach.  “I really feel like a pig that needs to be roasted on the beach at a luau,” Bethenny tells us.  Jason is particularly fond of commenting on Bethenny’s cankles and her “sausage-link” toes and, luckily, she has a good attitude about it all.  She tells us repeatedly that she feels fat and gross but really she must be feeling pretty confident because her bathing suit is essentially a bikini and pretty skimpy at that.  Plus, she looks amazing. 

Sure she’s pregnant but she’s totally toned.  It’s as hot as a seven months pregnant woman can possibly look.  Also, she is sporting a big, floppy fluorescent pink hat and she will wear this hat pretty much non-stop throughout the rest of the honeymoon.

Arriving back at their suite, they find a large, wet animal poop on the floor.  Bethenny dry heaves, runs through the villa, and freaks out.  They are sure it’s one of those huge iguanas done snuck into their bungalow and took a dump but their search turns up nothing. 

Then, they wax a happy trail of dark hair that has developed on Bethenny’s belly.

Bump hair successfully removed, the newlyweds have breakfast (pink hat in attendance) and discuss a number of things, including:
