Bethenny Frankel forks out $2.5 million on a second luxury home in the Hamptons... complete with seven bedrooms, a swimming pool and a gym

Bethenny Frankel has purchased a second home in the affluent Hamptons area of Long Island, New York.

It is believed the reality star and Skinnygirl cocktail entrepreneur, 47, forked out around $2.5 million on the luxury property, complete with seven bedrooms, a swimming pool and its very own gym.

The 4,239 square ft mansion sits on just over half an acre of land and although it was originally listed for $2.95 million, its last asking price was $2.49 million, the New York Post reports.

The property in Bridgehampton was known as the Morning Glory House in its previous incarnation as a bed-and-breakfast.

Built in 1910, the seven-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home was renovated by architect Brian O’Keefe of BOKA and local builder Dennis Boyle. 

The shingle-style structure has a formal entry hall with dark hardwood floors, a skylight and a hand-carved wood staircase.

This isn’t Bethenny's first purchase in the area; in 2015, she snagged a five-bedroom property on Lumber Lane in Bridgehampton, according to reports at the time. 

The final purchase price for that home, which listed in 2013 for $3.2 million, is also unclear.

But don't expect her to move into her new home on a permanent basis with daughter Bryn, seven, whom she shares with estranged ex-husband Jason Hoppy.

Bethenny’s spokesperson told the Post she had not sold her first home and had bought the second one as an investment property. 

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star was among the speakers at the Massachusetts Conference For Women at the Boston Convention Center in Boston, Massachusetts on Thursday.

The celebrity, who looked chic in a white sleeveless top and black mini-skirt,  shared the stage with  Linda Henry, managing director of the Boston Globe.
