‘Birthdays have always been an incredible source of anxiety. As in Goldilocks, too little was too little and too much was too much.

On the contrary, Bethenny admitted that she now feels “lighter” and “happier.”
The TV star also revealed that she is proud of her age and who she has become.
Bethenny, who turned 54 on Monday (11.04.24), continued: ‘This year I feel free, lighter, happier, like something has been lifted from me. It has been deeply transformative. I am proud of my age and the mother, friend, partner and person that I am and I am truly happy. I have everything I want and need.

“And doing everything necessary and thinking about Yellowstone, that beloved series that I love, that I know you love, I realized that I’m not going to be able to continue with season 5b or in the future.”
Regarding the show, the star added: “It was something that really changed me.” I loved it and I know you loved it. I just wanted to let you know that I won’t be back.
