Last Saturday night, the newest private social venue in Miami, The Moore, buzzed with excitement as celebrities and art enthusiasts converged for Dorsia’s VIP Art Basel festivities. Among the attendees were Bethenny Frankel and her romantic partner, Tom Villante, whose affectionate demeanor caught the eye of many. Is it possible that the renowned reality TV star has finally found a connection that stands the test of time? Both Frankel, 54, and Villante seemed undeniably enamored, as they navigated through the crowded event holding hands—an emblem of their freshly publicized romance.
The tantalizing evening kicked off with an exclusive dinner hosted by Jon George, famously known as DJ RÜFÜS DU SOL. Observers noted how Frankel and Villante nestled into a cozy corner, immersed in each other’s company. With a limited number of reservations available, the inaugural “Sol a Sol” soirée drew significant interest, attracting a plethora of personalities, including popular figures from various realms of entertainment such as Cuba Gooding Jr. and fashion influencer Alix Earle.
