Bernon clearly feels likewise, responding in the comments, “Thank you for the best birthday! I love you,[Peanut] and the [dogs]. #luckiestmanintheworld.”
The RHONY star and her real estate developer boyfriend first made headlines with their relationship in October 2018, two months after the death of Frankel’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Dennis Shields.
Early on in their relationship, Bernon did save Frankel’s life when she suffered an extreme allergic reaction after unknowingly consuming fish in a soup broth.
“I felt my hands get really swollen, they got super tight,” she recalled of the incident during the most recent season of RHONY. “[Paul] came back three minutes later and I was unconscious.”
Forcing allergy medication down her throat, Bernon called 911 and had his girlfriend transported via ambulance to the hospital.
“I heard the [doctor] say that if it had been five more minutes that I would have passed away,” she added. “If no one was with me I would have been dead.”
