Bethenny Frankel ditches her wedding ring amid claims she's grown close to co-worker (but Jason Hoppy's still wearing his)

Jason Hoppy has been pictured wearing his wedding ring following his split from Bethenny Frankel last month.
But in a sign that she's ready to move on, the Skinnygirl mogul's 6.5 carats engagement bling was most definitely off as she left Los Angeles airport on Wednesday.

The 42-year-old was heading back to New York after a tearful interview on Ellen Degeneres' chat show about the downfall of her marriage.
Her outing comes amid claims she's grown close to an unnamed co-worker within her Skinnygirl empire.
An insider told RadarOnline that the relationship began unravelling several months ago when Jason allegedly observed her strengthening bond with her colleague.
'Bethenny just stopped communicating with Jason and he saw her completely withdraw from the relationship,' the source said.
'The colleague has become a trusted confidante of Bethenny's and the two have become very close friends.'
Jason also allegedly believes that Bethenny spent time with the single co-worker during a New Year's holiday with their 2-year-old daughter Bryn in Aspen.
The source said that Jason recently observed her interact with the man 'the way she used to with him.'

In her Wednesday appearance on Ellen, the former Real Housewives of New York star broke down about her impending divorce.
'I feel like a failure,' she said, becoming tearful. 'I really put it out there. I wanted the fairytale. I thought I had it.'

And while Bethenny says she feels frightened about the 'unknown future,' she is focused on 'moving forward'.
'How I handle myself now with grace, with dignity. This is the time now that matters.'
Bethenny has expressed mixed emotions about putting her divorce on her reality show, but knows that she must continue on.

Not alone: Bethenny tweeted a photograph of herself in bed with her dog on Thursday

'This has kind of made me say to myself, "Oh my gosh, fame is a weird thing, maybe I want to get off the ride."'
And while she won't be ditching reality television any time soon, Bethenny reflected on Twitter on Thursday about her wish to keep her emotions and feelings to herself.
'When you're at a restaurant and they ask how everything was, do you tell he truth? Or just always say "everything was great,"' she observed before posting a photograph of herself alone in bed with her pup.
