Frankel and Stonestreet joked about their relationship status on ‘Watch What Happens Live!’

In an August 2015 episode of"Watch What Happens Live!

“, Frankel was asked about the rumors that she and Eric Stonestreet were dating.

Stonestreet did the same when he and Frankel were both on"Watch What Happens Live!

“in May 2017.

An audience member asked for a concrete answer about their relationship status, echoed by Cohen.

Both Frankel and Stonestreet took sips of their drinks, and Frankel deferred to Stonestreet to respond.

But she’s a wonderful kisser!”

Clearly their so-called romantic connection is more of a platonic one.
