Bethenny Frankel and her daughter Bryn stepped out in New York City on Wednesday, and while the ladies were in good spirits, the former Real Housewives star sounds like she's ready to slow things down, both personally and professionally.

On Tuesday night Frankel appeared on Watch What Happens Live, and when host Andy Cohen asked whether she was formally divorced from estranged hubby Jason Hoppy, Frankel replied, "Honestly, it's been a year, 15 months of this. I don't want to talk about it cause it's not best for Bryn. Honestly, I really don't." Frankel filed for divorce from Hoppy last January, and they were embroiled in a pretty bitter custody battle following the split.

"I am dating and I'm happy," Frankel said, but she wouldn't really elaborate. "I'm good. I finally feel a little bit of liberation and a little bit of freedom, just a little bit of not, just feeling so bad. It's been a really, really hard time."

So what about her talk show, which wasn't renewed for another season? Though new episodes will continue to air through May, Frankel actually sounds relieved that it didn't get picked up again, telling Cohen, "I loved every day, I loved connecting to women. It's just been an amazing experience. I have my own Skinnygirl business, I have the cocktails and a lot of different products that are launching this year. I really do need a break."
