These days, the last thing on Bethenny Frankel's mind is landing a man. Covering the latest issue of People, the single talk show host speaks candidly about her divorce from Jason Hoppy and explains why she's in no rush to find a rebound romance.

"Men aren't a priority right now—at all," Frankel admits in the mag, on stands Friday. The former Real Housewives of New York City star (mom to Bryn, 3) adds that it will be some time before she sees someone new. "Since I'm emotionally unavailable," she explains, "it may be a very chilly winter."

Not that Frankel has much time to date, anyway. Her new syndicated talk show, Bethenny, premiered on Monday, Sept. 9, and she's in the midst of a bitter financial battle with Hoppy.

Though it's been a difficult nine months, the 42-year-old Bravo personality says she's confident that her situation will only improve with time. "You just have to say we're going to get to the other side," she tells People. "I'm not going to be afraid and I'm not going to get more than I can handle."
