As the discussion continued, speculation arose regarding the future of *The Real Housewives of New York City* and its potential shakeup. Frankel herself hinted at the changes in a TikTok video, expressing a bittersweet sentiment about her past in New York City. “New York City was my playground,” she stated, alluding to the significant shift in her life as she embraces her new home. Kelly Bensimon, another alum from *The Real Housewives of New York City*, also weighed in on Frankel’s move, calling it a “smart” decision. “I think that moving to Florida is always a good idea when you’re at that second stage of your life,” Bensimon remarked during Miami Swim Week.
