Premise
In the first season, Bethenny Frankel prepares her life for two of life's biggest milestones: a wedding and a baby, simultaneously. Frankel prepares for motherhood and weds Jason Hoppy, while maintaining her career as an author and natural foods chef with the help of her assistant, Julie Plake.
The second season follows more of Frankel as she focuses on motherhood, marriage, SkinnyGirl and skating. She also continues to grow her business and venture into new areas, with her new SkinnyGirl team member, Jackie Lagratta. Frankel deals with the tensions of visiting family members from out of town. During this season, Frankel turns 40 and celebrates Bryn turning one. She also looks at her future as an older parent and adult.
The third and final season of Bethenny Ever After chronicles the sales of SkinnyGirl cocktails introducing some added luxuries into Frankel's life: a large new apartment, remote vacations, and a larger staff are all part of the perks. As things change, Frankel adjusts to her marriage, lawsuits, and life in the public eye.
