Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel’s friendship is now positive and clean
By Mary Jane
Jill Zarin reveals that she and Bethenny Frankel are now speaking again, and it feels nice to have a positive and clean friendship with someone from the past.
Jill Zarin said goodbye to her husband back in January when he lost his battle with cancer. Bobby Zarin had been sick for over a year, but he was quickly losing his battle with cancer. Based on Jill’s pictures on social media, he was losing weight and he didn’t look like the Bobby fans knew from The Real Housewives of New York. After Jill lost her husband, she reconnected with Bethenny Frankel. Bethenny heard about the passing of Bobby and showed up at the funeral.
Since then, The Real Housewives of New York fans have wondered whether this friendship would ever come back. Jill is now opening up about where she stands with Bethenny today and fans may be surprised that these two are now cordial. For years, Bethenny denied that she saw a possible friendship with Zarin as she felt that their friendship was completely done. Jill recently opened up about her friendship with Frankel to Bravo.
"“I’ve talked to [Bethenny] a couple times, not on the phone [but] in texting. We’re all good. You know what? She’s busy; I’m busy. If I needed something, I feel like I could call her and say: ‘You know Bethenny, could you help me with this?’ And I did actually ask her for something and she did. And, vice versa. If she needed something from me I would totally help her. I feel like that line of communication is open and running both ways, so that’s good.”"

Of course, Bobby Zarin did a lot for Bethenny on the earlier seasons of The Real Housewives of New York and he even told Jill Zarin that he thought she was wrong. He clearly had Bethenny’s back when the two ladies were feuding and it seems like Jill could only respect her husband for it.
