Bethenny Frankel, boyfriend Tom Villante holds hands during beach stroll after Kelly Bensimon claimed he tried to date her, too

Bethenny Frankel and Tom Villante are paying no mind to her once-“Real Housewives of New York City” co-star Kelly Bensimon, who claims he tried to date her, too.

Frankel and Villante were photographed on a romantic stroll along the beach in Miami on Thursday, holding hands as they enjoyed each other’s company — and the tropical weather.

The former Bravolebrity, 54, donned a light gray maxi dress that hugged her petite frame, accessorizing with a tan fedora and layered silver necklaces.

Her boyfriend — whom she hard launched on Instagram last month — opted for a dark gray golf polo, which he paired with cuffed denim jeans and a navy blue baseball cap.

Neither wore shoes for the leisurely walk.

On Monday, Bensimon told Page Six she was talking to a man on Raya over the summer — until she found out he was romancing Frankel.

At the behest of her eldest daughter, the former model, 56, said she joined the celebrity dating app and began scrolling through the available profiles.

“I see this one guy, and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s kinda cute!’ He lives in California, and I was like, ‘Wow, what is he doing here?’ … He’s like, ‘Let’s talk. … Let’s meet,’” she recalled.

According to Bensimon, she and “Tom” were “texting” quite a bit. He apparently kept asking her to meet up, but her busy schedule prevented a proper date.

Shortly after they returned to the city after spending Labor Day weekend in the Hamptons — separately — Bensimon said her friend sent her a Page Six article.

“It says Bethenny Frankel is dating this guy,” revealed Bensimon, who was just as surprised, even though this has apparently happened to her before, as her reaction was, “Wait, what?! Again?!”
