Bethenny Frankel's on-and-off boyfriend Dennis Shields was found dead at his Trump Tower apartment this morning from a suspected overdose, The New York Post first reported.

The 51-year-old banker allegedly asked his assistant to administer Narcan, an emergency medication to reverse an opioid overdose, shortly before he lost consciousness. He was pronounced dead at the scene around 9am EST. Sources told the outlet he overdosed on the powerful painkiller OxyContin.

"We are all heartbroken. Dennis was, and will always be, the love of my life. His spirit lives on in our children. Please respect our family’s privacy at this time," his former wife Jill Shields said in a statement to People.

The SkinnyGirl founder and Shields first began dating in 2016, before breaking up and getting back together numerous times. He made multiple appearances on Real Housewives of NYC, and was a fixture in the reality star's life even when they weren't together romantically.

Frankel has yet to issue a statement on the heartbreaking news.
