Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York City is currently involved with a married man -- but it's not what you think.

Although LuAnn de Lesseps recently claimed that Frankel's relationship with Dennis Shields began prior to his separation from his wife, Frankel insists she and Shields began dating after the breakup and from the looks of things, they've been going strong ever since.

In fact, the couple has faced recent rumors of a possible engagement due to a major ring spotted on Frankel's finger.

"We've both been married and separated," Frankel told PEOPLE Magazine in June. "So we're a perfect match. Like everything else in my life, I'm owning it."

"My personal life is exactly where I want it to be right now," she continued. "I haven't been this happy in a really long time and I'm continuing with my policy of not involving anybody in my relationships, because it certainly has served me wrong in the past," says Frankel. "I want to keep it private for as long as I can. It has not worked out with me well in the past to be gushing over being really happy, I'll leave that part to my cast mates."
