Bethenny Frankel would "definitely retire" if she finds a "billionaire on some big boat".

The 54-year-old star has admitted that she would happily walk away from her work life if she finds the right man.

Speaking to ADWEEK, Bethenny said: "I would definitely retire - like, if I end up with some billionaire on some big boat."

Bethenny considers herself to be an "accidental influencer". But the reality star insists there's also real skill to her success.

Bethenny - who is best known for starring on 'The Real Housewives of New York City' - said: "I see a lot of entrepreneurs and business owners that can’t help but want to promote themselves. But not everybody can do it, and you have to really know if you can. It has to land."

The influencer believes that honesty and authenticity are the keys to her success.

She explained: "Be honest, be authentic - this is what I’m doing."

Earlier this month, Bethenny revealed that she felt like she was "drowning" before moving to Florida.

In a post on TikTok, Bethenny - who has daughter Bryn, 14, with ex-husband Jason Hoppy - explained why she decided to swap New York for Florida.

She said: "The morning of March 19th, this wasn’t even a thought and by that evening, a series of events transpired and we decided it was the best move to move here [to Florida].

"Within five weeks, [we] had sold and bought a home in both places. We’ll keep this apartment, but I sold my home and bought a house in Florida ...

"[The previous house] was drowning me. It was just the two of us ...

"It was a massive property, and I made the decision to buy that property when I was in a different stage of my life. I thought it would be this, like, big family home and that I’d be entertaining there a lot.

"The house was drowning me because it had an apple orchard, it was a historical house, it had all this property, and it was beautiful and amazing for a big family with kids and grandparents.

"It just ended up being a place that I spent a lot of time alone [in] because I didn’t really know many people in that community."

Angry Mike Vrabel vows to find 'rats' within Patriots organization who leaked major news

New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel wasn't mad about how the backups performed in the team's 42-10 preseason loss to the New York Giants. He was angry that someone had leaked the news that wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk would need season-ending shoulder surgery. When asked if he had anything to add to the reports that Polk would miss the season, Vrabel didn't give the media anything aside from his unvarnished feelings. "I'd like to find out where some of these [reports] come from. Some of these rats around here. So, we'll figure that out," he added in a news conference on Thursday. Coaches and reporters are hardly the best of friends on a good day. Often, a coach will deflect if they don't want to add fuel to a report the team hasn't made official, but usually they won't deflect and promise to get the "rats" providing this information. NFL insider Jordan Schultz broke the news ahead of the Patriots' preseason finale against the Giants. According to Schultz, the decision for Polk to undergo surgery was made to ensure the 2024 second-round pick would be healthy for the 2026 season. Polk dealt with health issues throughout the offseason. It was during the second quarter of New England's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders that he took a nasty hit on a one-yard run, leading to the shoulder injury that will sideline him for 2025. Last season, Polk had a tough rookie debut, catching just 12 receptions for 87 yards and recording two touchdowns. The hope for 2025 was that he could redeem himself and become a reliable enough target for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. Expectations for Maye are much higher now with the return of Tom Brady's old offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels. Without Polk to run routes, though, the already-thin wide receiver room is nearly devoid of talent behind veteran receiver Stefon Diggs. The Patriots signed Diggs to a three-year, $69 million contract in the offseason. However, Diggs has brought some unwanted attention to the team through his offseason antics and is recovering from a torn ACL that ended his time with the Houston Texans. While Patriot fans should feel some hope in the direction of the team under Vrabel — a former defensive star for New England during the dynasty years — this roster is still in the midst of a rebuild. And with such a troubled roster, losses may pile up, and the team's relationship with the media could worsen if another season feels like a waste. So, Vrabel being upset by Polk's injury is fair, but what doesn't feel fair is to single out Patriots staff and players who are potentially talking to reporters as hostile to the organization. It's perhaps not surprising that Vrabel is willing to voice his frustrations, as he's shown no fear when breaking up practice scrums. Still, it's the job of any journalist to build relationships with staff and team members to gain reliable sources who can help them accurately report the news. While the "rats" moniker for those in the building talking to NFL insiders and the New England sports media will be swallowed up by all the other headlines as Week 1 nears, it's notable that Vrabel's time as head coach in New England is already off to a contentious start.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Made Decision On His Bucks Future

MILWAUKEE, WI — Giannis Antetokounmpo will remain in Milwaukee. Reliable NBA insider AryReport reported that, according to his sources, the two-time MVP has decided not to request a trade. After several meetings with his inner circle, he reaffirmed his desire to stay with the Bucks. The decision settles months of speculation about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future on the Bucks. Rivals have been watching closely, sensing uncertainty in Milwaukee. Yet for now, the franchise cornerstone wants to finish his career where it began. SOURCES: Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Made Decision On His Bucks Future A Mixed Track Record Since winning the 2021 title, Milwaukee has struggled in the postseason. They have won only one playoff series in four years. The lack of deep runs put pressure squarely on GM Jon Horst and the front office. Giannis wants to win. His patience has limits. The Bucks’ leadership responded with a flurry of moves this offseason. They reshaped the roster while making a difficult financial call on Damian Lillard. The Lillard Decision The Bucks stunned the league when they waived Lillard. The move left $112.5 million in dead money over five years. It also freed Milwaukee to move below tax aprons and gain flexibility. Lillard, recovering from a torn Achilles, embraced the decision. He returned to Portland in free agency, prioritizing family and comfort. For the Bucks, the parting opened space to pursue new pieces. Turner Arrives, Others Depart The headline signing was Myles Turner. The big man joined on a four-year, $108.8 million deal after leaving Indiana. His rim protection and three-point shooting fill a glaring need. Still, the cost was real. Brook Lopez, a 2021 champion, departed for the Clippers. Pat Connaughton left in a salary dump. Bobby Portis, Gary Trent Jr., and Taurean Prince re-signed, but the roster feels transformed. Turner’s arrival raises a question: does he lift the Bucks enough? He is younger than Lopez and more versatile. Yet Milwaukee’s slide in the East was not just about talent, but cohesion and consistency. What’s Next for Giannis Antetokounmpo on the Bucks Giannis has chosen stability over speculation. According to league sources, he will remain in Milwaukee, valuing continuity and family comfort above chasing another ring elsewhere. Having seen firsthand how a superstar’s ring chase unraveled, he understands the grass is not always greener. For Giannis, the Bucks still represent home, legacy, and the clearest path to fulfillment.

Buccaneers' Shilo Sanders may have jeopardized chance to make 53-man roster

Saturday was not a good day for Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders, two players competing for a spot on the 53-man roster of their respective teams, the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hours after Shedeur took more sacks (five) than completions (three) and had a heated moment with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, Shilo was ejected from the Buccaneers' preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. "Bucs S Shilo Sanders has been ejected from tonight's game following an unnecessary roughness penalty," Scott Smith of the Buccaneers posted on X. Shilo appeared to take exception to Zach Davidson hitting and blocking him after a play had ended before the rookie took a swing at the Bills' tight end. The ejection came at a bad time for Shilo, who was competing with Kaevon Merriweather and Rashad Wisdom for the No. 4 safety spot on the depth chart. Before the game, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that Shilo's output against the Bills would be big in his evaluation before the team has to trim the roster to 53 players by Tuesday. "Shilo's very aggressive, very young, very hungry," Bowles said. "He can make plays in the box and we know he can run down and give us 100% on special teams, so this last week is going to be very important for those guys to show up." Following the ejection, Shilo lost critical playing time to show his strengths on the field. He also showed the coaching staff a short temper and cost Tampa Bay with an unnecessary penalty. Shilo will end his preseason with four total tackles. He has shown he has the talent to be in the league, but Shilo's role will likely be as a practice squad player until his play and mental strength develop.

Phillies get terrible injury news on ace starting pitcher

The Philadelphia Phillies received the update they did not want to hear on Saturday. Starting pitcher Zack Wheeler is going to miss the remainder of the 2025 season due to thoracic outlet syndrome, the team announced. He will have surgery to correct the issue with a recovery time of six to eight months. There is no way to sugarcoat this for the Phillies — this is brutal news and a potentially crushing blow to their World Series chances in the National League. While they still have a strong rotation and two excellent front-line starters in Cristopher Sanchez and Ranger Suarez, Wheeler is their unquestioned ace and has been one of the best overall pitchers in the National League since he joined the Phillies prior to the 2020 season. The Phillies are still pretty much a playoff lock at this point and entered the weekend with a six-game lead over the New York Mets in the National League East standings. But taking a front-line starter away from them this late in the season is going to be impossible to replace. With Wheeler, Sanchez and Suarez, they would have had a fierce trio to throw at teams in a short series (or a best-of-seven series) that could have stacked up with anybody. Sanchez and Suarez are still going to give them a great chance, but it's definitely not what they wanted. Prior to Saturday's announcement, Wheeler had a 2.71 ERA and was leading the league in both strikeouts (195) and strikeouts per nine innings (11.7) pitched. He also has the lowest WHIP (walks/hits per innings pitched) in the league (.935).
