Bethenny Frankel Dating Rumors, News: RHONY Star Sidesteps Rumors about Her and Eric Stonestreet

Is Bethenney Frankel, age 44, of Real Housewives of New York City dating Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet, 43?

The rumors have been flying for a month, and now Bethenny, who is in the midst of finalizing her divorce from Jason Hoppy, is talking about it, sort of.

"I am dating and I am having a really good time," Bethenney, mogul of Skinnygirl Cocktails, said when asked about the rumors by the Today show. She referenced her book, I Suck at Relationships, "I talk about working the burners. You want something on simmer, something boiling, taken something off." She goes on to say, "I may be working the burners. I think that's what women should do. I haven't been that lucky in relationships, so it's going to be a while until I profess my undying love."

She says when asked for details, specifically about Stonestreet, "I'm not making it a habit of confirming or denying anything because then it will be like roaches, you'll have to kill them all. So I'm just saying that I'm happy, and in the fall I intend to be very, very, sexually active. I have big plans for that."

When pressed about the relationship again by a caller on Watch What Happens Live on Bravo: "Spill the beans, Skinnygirl. What's really going on with you and Eric Stonestreet?" Bethenney hinted at more than friendship: "Eric Stonestreet and I are friends. He's an awesome guy. I don't confirm or deny dating rumors and that's what I'm saying," She goes on to say, however, "Eric's awesome. As I said today, he's a great actor. And we're sleeping together tonight. He's at my apartment right now. So, you know?"

The couple met in April at a CAA upfront party and have been seen to be close since then. "They are hanging out. They are having fun and she likes his company," PEOPLE was told by a source.
