Kyle Richards is speaking out about her hopes for her strained relationship with sister Kathy Hilton.
Months into their latest estrangement, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star attended her “A Night Of Music Featuring Morgan Wade” event in Los Angeles on Tuesday, where she revealed if she’s met niece Paris Hilton‘s son, dished on season 13, and noted that the recent cheating scandal of Vanderpump Rules is “great” for Lisa Vanderpump.
“I don’t know the background, but all I know is it’s filling up my Instagram like crazy. I’m like, ‘This is wild,'” she told E! News. “It’s great because we have the same producers of the show and obviously it’s great for the show and great for Lisa Vanderpump.”
According to Kyle, who is filming the new season of RHOBH, the upcoming episodes “will not disappoint.”
“It’s been a really, it’s [a] very different season for me personally than any other, and it’s been very, very interesting, and of course, there’s a lot of drama. I think the audience is gonna be really excited,” she shared. “I’m in a very different place in my life, and of course, when the cast changes, the dynamics shift … There’s drama, there’s a lot of personal stories here, and just a lot going on.”
“The other day, they came in, and they said, ‘You guys, this is a really good season.’ So you know when they say that, you know it’s gonna be great,” Kyle added.
As RHOBH fans know, Lisa Rinna will not be featured in season 13. And, when it comes to her relationship with Kyle, Kyle hasn’t seen her since October 2022.
“I mean, via like DMs and text messages, yes, but I haven’t seen her since the reunion, or BravoCon actually,” Kyle confirmed.
During the 12th season last year, Rinna came forward, claiming Kathy had berated Kyle amid a meltdown in Aspen. And, due to Kyle’s questioning of the incident, her relationship with her sister came to an end.
Months later, Kyle hopes their feud will soon come to an end. In fact, when asked if she’d like her to return to the show, Kyle said, “Of course. She’s my sister. I miss her.”
“Throughout the years… We’ve had issues, and we’ve come back together. We’re sisters. Family’s complicated, and we’re a work in progress,” she added.
“We’ll get there one day, you know, it takes time,” Kyle continued to PEOPLE. “We’re no different than anybody else except we’re in the public eye. But, we’ve gone through hard times before and always come back together. So that’s the hope.”
In addition to her estrangement from Kathy, Kyle has also not met Paris’ son, Phoenix, who she and her husband Carter Reum, welcomed in January.
“I have not seen baby Phoenix,” Kyle said. “I wish I could say that I have, but I haven’t. I’ve seen pictures, and he is beautiful and perfect, just like she was when she [Paris Hilton] was a baby.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 is currently in production and expected to begin airing on Bravo sometime next year.
