Bethenny Frankel announced she's engaged to her boyfriend Jason Hoppy over the weekend, but the news probably didn't have the surprise factor she'd hoped for -- gossip sites had been reporting the engagement all summer, anyway. Still, added to the upcoming wedding plans is the buzz that Frankel's jumping into the marriage after a relatively short, 11-month courtship because she's expecting.

Verdict: False. Frankel's rep told Extra TV the pregnancy rumors are "not true," so don't expect to see her growing a baby bump anytime soon. Still, the Real Housewives of New York star did confirm to People that Jason proposed on October 8, and she happily accepted. She said, "It feels great, because I'm with the right person. He may be regretting it because it's been beyond a week and he's in panic mode -- [but] no, we're enjoying it."

Hoppy added, "She is very much a handful but one thing she did say to me is she needs a man that can handle her, and that I can."

Congrats to Bethenny and Jason! She has a lot on her plate with a new reality show all her own coming up on Bravo, which will supposedly follow her planning her wedding to Hoppy. The title? Skinny & the City.
