Kathy Hilton is encouraging her sister, Kyle Richards, to get back into the dating scene following her split from estranged husband Mauricio Umansky. When asked if she’s trying to nudge Richards into the dating world, Hilton replied, “Oh, yeah!”
“I think it will take a while,” Hilton said in an exclusive interview. “You know, I think right now her daughters are the most important thing. She’s working so much that it’s hard to get out there and, you know, after working all day, you’re kind of tired.”
Hilton added that Richards is “doing OK” after Umansky made headlines earlier this month for packing on the PDA with a mystery blonde in a Greece airport. (The identity of the woman has yet to be revealed.)
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were married for more than two decades before they shocked fans with their separation in 2023. Richards was previously married to Guraish Aldjufrie, with whom she shares daughter Farrah, from 1988 to 1992. She met Umansky in 1994, and the couple exchanged vows two years later. Richards was four months […]
When asked if it was “jarring” to see the images circulate online, Hilton noted, “Even if it was five years from now, it would be.”
Garcelle Beauvais, for her part, told Us how she’s been “supporting” Richards. “Being good girlfriends! I think that’s what you do when a friend is going through something uncomfortable,” Beauvais said. “We try to rally.”
Beauvais, however, noted that if this was her ex-husband, she’d be “unsnatched right now.”
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have shared insight into their sudden split after 27 years of marriage. Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that the couple were taking time apart. “Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while, but are still currently living together,” a source revealed at […]
Richards has also been leaning on Stracke, 52, as she navigates her separation. “We’ve talked about some things and I seem to be the queen of divorce,” Stracke said. “I don’t know why.”
Stracke noted that she and Richards are “in a really good place.” (Richards previously revealed during an episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast recorded at BravoCon in November 2023 that she needed space from Stracke.)
“I just love her and I love our friendship and where it’s going and so I want to be there for her to support her in any way that I can,” Stracke told Us on Monday at her fashion show.
Us confirmed one year ago that Richards and Umansky separated after 27 years of marriage.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have nothing but love for their four daughters — even after separating in 2023. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was four months pregnant with her and Umansky’s first child together, Alexia, when she walked down the aisle in 1996. After the two exchanged vows, Umanksy became the stepfather […]
“We have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously,” they wrote in a joint Instagram statement in July 2023. “There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
Richards and the Buying Beverly Hills star met in 1994 and tied the knot two years later. They share daughters Alexia, 28, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16. Umanksy is also stepfather to Richards’ and ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie’s daughter, Farrah, 35.
While Richards and Umansky have yet to file for divorce, Us broke the news in May that he had moved out of their shared home.
“Kyle and Mauricio have been living separately for the last few months,” a source explained at the time. “They’ve both been traveling a lot recently, so it’s working out where they don’t stay under one roof.”
