Bethenny Frankel will return to “The Real Housewives of New York City” for Season 7, Bravo confirmed on Monday.

The new season of “The Real Housewives of New York City” will follow Frankel and returning cast Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, Kristen Taekman, LuAnn de Lesseps, Ramona Singer and Sonja Morgan.

I can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings for all of us. Watch what happens!”
