Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy really did seem like a couple that would last forever.

Sadly, as we all know, the former Real Housewives of New York star and her hubby announced in December they split after two years of marriage.

"I was surprised," Bravo impresario Andy Cohen told me last night at his network's Emmy event at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood. "I mean, I heard rumblings…but I was surprised. I was such an advocate of the two of them. I loved them together."

And so did we.

"You saw them fall in love with each other on TV," Cohen said. "So I rooted for them and loved them together."

No doubt Frankel will be OK.

"She's going through it," the Watch What Happens Live host said. "But she's a survivor."
