Frankel said "yes" to now-fiancé Jason Hoppy, who she'd been dating for 11 months. According to People, Hoppy, 38, popped the question this summer but had to wait until now for the beauty's answer.
"It feels great, because I'm with the right person," Frankel, 38, told People. "He may be regretting it because it's been beyond a week and he's in panic mode – [but] no, we're enjoying it."
Hoppy reportedly showered Frankel's Upper East Side pad with candles and rose petals (and even dressed up her dog, Cookie) before surprising the reality TV star with a 6.50-carat pear-shaped center stone diamond ring accented with two side stones from jeweler Kristen Farrell. Um, the ring is a total of 8 carats!
And with that big of a rock, she had to accept!

I was lucky enough to never have been overweight in my life. That all ended after the birth of my second child. I got down to 20 pounds over my normal weight but no matter what I did I couldn't lose the rest. I didn't know if was age catching up with me or if somehow my metabolism changed. Whatever the reason, nothing was working. I tried all the bogus "diet" pills that we see all over the internet, but are just scams. All I ever lost with that stuff was money. One of my friends, knowing what I was going through, told me that she had been losing weight using a special plan that she found at this web site Http://bit.ly/FatLoss4You It laid out the facts in a way I never saw before and had easy to follow meal plans and diets. Not only have I lost the weight and kept it off but I'm leading a healthier lifestyle, mostly from the knowledge I gained from this amazing program.
