Meet Sonja Morgan's New Man Brian Farrell

What can viewers expect when the Real Housewives of New York City returns with season four on April 7? This preview offers an overall tease.

But let's get more specific: over at least the first two episodes, we'll meet Brian Farrell, a 42-year old artist who grew up in Long Island and is dating cast member Sonja Morgan.

According to his Facebook page, Farrell grew up with an alcoholic and physically abusive father. He subsequently battled depression and even attempted suicide on more than one occasion.

"Today, I am no longer drinking or take any medications," he writes on that social networking page. "I enjoy a healthy life of yoga, surfing, sleep and diet."

No word on whether or not Farrell is still dating Morgan, but she gushes about him on the premiere:

"We have all these hedge-fund banker friends together. I get my financing from them and they buy his paintings... He comes in these tight white T-shirts with the jeans hanging low."

Kelly Bensimon Wants A 'Beer And Wings' Guy

Kelly Bensimon doesn't look like the typical beer guzzler, but she'd rather have a hot date at a sports bar than at a Michelin-rated restaurant. The single Real Housewives of New York star, who divorced fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon in 2007, admits she wants a guy who can fit into her laid-back lifestyle.

"I want a guy who can kick back and grab a few beers and wings at the bar. I don't need all the fancy restaurants," Bensimon told PopEater at the screening of 'happythankyoumoreplease' in New York.

"You can say, I have a much different taste in men than LuAnn [de Lesseps]," she joked.

The fourth season of Real Housewives of New York City is set to premiere on April 7, and Bensimon says this season is "completely different" now that Bethenny Frankel is gone.

"Everything is more real ... it's like a brand new 'Housewives,'" she reveals.

Although she wouldn't reveal much more, she firmly stands by her word that this is "the best season ever."

According to Bravo, the gals (Kelly, Alex, Jill, LuAnn, Ramona and Sonja) take a glamorous trip to Morocco and welcome a new housewife, Cindy Barshop, who is known for her Completely Bare hair removal spas.

Get the Pinot Grigio (and maybe a beer) ready because it sounds like a fabulous season awaits.
