She also praised his family, saying, "He has a really nice family too; I'm very close to them."

In a sweet tribute post on Instagram marking the relationship milestone, the Skinnygirl mogul noted: "Having such a supportive and loving partner makes me a better person & inspires me to achieve the impossible." In the photo, she can be seen sitting on the edge of a boat along with Paul Bernon. "Happy Anniversary! I love you and thank you for the most beautiful year!"

Bernon also celebrated her birthday in November 2019, with kind words on his personal Instagram, "You have brought me true happiness, and I'm so lucky to have you in my life."

Paul also showered his love for her on Valentine's Day. He posted the photo of themselves together with a caption: "Happy Valentine’s Day, ILY."
