Bethenny Frankel addresses Eric Stonestreet dating rumors

The Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel addressed Eric Stonestreet dating rumors Tuesday.

The 44-year-old television personality fielded a fan question about her reported relationship with the 43-year-old Modern Family actor during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

"We are friends," she allowed. "He's an awesome guy. I don't confirm or deny dating rumors. And that's what I'm saying, Kansas City [caller]. But Eric's awesome. He's, as I said today, a great actor."

"We are sleeping together tonight -- he's at my apartment right now," she jokingly deadpanned before host Andy Cohen moved the conversation along.

Frankel previously dismissed the rumors after a source claimed to have seen the pair at a Los Angeles Dodgers game in July. The reality star tweeted it couldn't have been the case because she was in the Hamptons at the time.

The television personality and Stonestreet are often spotted in each other's company, and are said to be "hanging out" and "having fun." Frankel filed for divorce from second husband Jason Hoppy in January 2013, and shares five-year-old daughter Bryn with her ex.
