Kathy Hilton recently made a surprising revelation during her appearance on the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Season 13 reunion. She expressed her belief that her sister, Kyle Richards, had been contemplating a separation from her husband, Mauricio Umansky, for several years. Hilton suggested that the decision to part ways was not sudden, indicating that Richards had been considering it for a significant period.
According to Hilton, Richards and Umansky seemed to be on diverging paths, with each focusing on their individual pursuits. Despite their efforts to make things work, the couple appeared to be drifting apart. Hilton shared her initial heartbreak upon learning about the breakdown of her sister's 27-year marriage.
In a subsequent interview, Hilton emphasized Richards' strength and resilience, expressing her desire for her sister's happiness. The news of the couple's decision to take a break was confirmed in July 2023, although they continued to reside together. Richards and Umansky later addressed the situation, asserting that there was no wrongdoing on either side.
The couple, who are parents to daughters Alexia, Sophia, and Portia, also have a shared commitment to love and respect each other. They acknowledged the challenges they had faced over the past year but affirmed their mutual admiration and care for one another.
Richards, in addition to her daughters with Umansky, also has a daughter named Farrah Brittany from a previous marriage. The family's public statement underscored their dedication to maintaining a positive relationship despite the difficulties they had encountered.
