NEW YORK, July 19 (UPI) -- Bethenny Frankel has reached a settlement in her long and contentious divorce. The 45-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star settled with Jason Hoppy on Monday, more than three and a half years after she filed to end their marriage.

"Out of respect for the privacy and the well-being of her daughter, Bethenny is declining to comment," Frankel's attorney, Allan Mayesfsky, said in a statement to news outlets.
"We can confirm that the divorce has been resolved," he conceded. "Our client is ecstatic that this long chapter is over, and she is looking forward to moving on with her life."
Hoppy's lawyer, Bernard Clair, told People the terms of the settlement are private and confidential, but did issue a statement on his client's behalf.
"Jason is thrilled that this chapter of his life is over; he is extremely pleased with the settlement that was reached," he said. "Jason looks forward to the future enjoying that time privately with family, friends and most important to him, his daughter."
Frankel and Hoppy married in March 2010 and welcomed their daughter, Bryn, later that year. The couple announced their separation in December 2012 and reached a custody agreement for Bryn in June 2014.
"I really never expected it to be like this," Frankel said of her divorce in 2015. "I've had a pretty colorful past that hasn't been the easiest, and this is, by far, the most excruciating thing I've ever even come close to being in."
The Real Housewives star has since started dating banker Dennis Shields, who is legally married but separated from his wife. She discussed her beau with People in June, saying she's in "a really happy place right now."
