Kyle Richards confessed to her castmate Erika Jayne on Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that she ‘was seeing someone who I cared about very much’ after separating from her husband Mauricio Umansky.
‘I was in a relationship. I was at a very vulnerable place in my life. And I fell hard for this person,’ the 56-year-old reality star said in her confessional.
‘You know, if I’m in love with somebody, I want to share that. I don’t care. I’m an open person like that. But that doesn’t mean that the person I’m with feels the same way.’
Richards continued: ‘All the speculation and the gossip and the talking is ultimately what ended it. I could’ve weathered the storm, but this is not for everyone.’
It’s clear she was being careful with her pronouns while describing this love affair.

The former child star famously acted in Morgan Wade’s music video for Fall in Love with Me where they kissed, fed each other and took a bubble bath in August 2023 – one month after her split from Umansky following 27 years of marriage.
Coincidentally, Thursday marked the country crooner’s 31st birthday and she shared an Instagram video of herself doing pull-ups and deadlifts in the gym.
Richards hasn’t been publicly pictured with Wade, with whom she share matching rings and heart tattoos, since February.
‘Imagine getting out of close to a 30-year marriage, unexpectedly falling in love with someone, but you can’t talk about that love,’ Jayne marveled in a confessional.
‘That’s a really hard place to be. Even though this relationship is over, the women are still going to question Kyle until she addresses it once and for all.’
The 54-year-old club siren added: ‘I think Kyle is probably the most honest with herself she’s ever been in her entire life. She’s open, understanding, finally willing to be vulnerable. I’m very proud of Kyle.’
Elsewhere in the season 15 episode, the Hollywood-born socialite was annoyed that the 55-year-old real estate mogul leased a new house without discussing it with her.
