Kyle Richards finally revealed what led to her divorce from Mauricio Umansky.
On Live! With Kelly and Mark on Friday, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 54, confirmed she “spent a lot of time away” from the real estate agent, 53, before they split.
In a segment from an upcoming episode of the hit Bravo talk show series, she admitted that she needed “freedom” and “space” from her husband of 27 years.
Her costar Dorit Kemsley quizzed her about her wedding in the sneak peek, asking, “I mean, have you had any thoughts lately?” For example, do you think you wouldn’t end up with Mo?’
She seemed irritated by the question and responded with another question, “Why do you think this?”
