Kyle Richards shared her fears about being single and confirmed where she stands with the person she dated amid her separation from Mauricio Umansky, rumored to be Morgan Wade, after Thursday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills featured her and her co-stars speed-dating.
As she also explained why the relationship ultimately didn’t work out, shared her thoughts on dating in the future, and looked back on her marriage to Mauricio, 55, Kyle spoke of her children’s thoughts on her moving on and more.
“What scared me the most about being separated at first was being alone. Am I going to be alone one day? Or as I get older, am I going to be all alone? And I like this feeling I have right now that I’m no longer afraid of that. And there’s, like, a security in knowing just, like, if it happens, it happens,” Kyle explained on the December 18 episode of the RHOBH: After Show.
As for where she stands with her past fling, with all signs pointing to Morgan, Kyle said, “We’re on good terms.”
“It just was bad timing. Our timing just did not match up, you know, and for a multitude of reasons,” she continued. “[And] I actually don’t know [if we could ever work] because I just don’t think that, unfortunately, that our lifestyles and, like I said, the timing were aligned. So, a lot would have to change.”
While Kyle and her unnamed love interest may not have a reunion in their future, Kyle said she hoped to be in a “loving, solid relationship soon.”
“[But] I’m not someone who’s going to chase something. It’s not my personality and who I am today,” she clarified. “I think, obviously, that’s because I was with someone for so long and married so long. You know, I’m not going on a dating app, and I will never do a speed dating thing again.”
“Whatever happens happens,” she added.
Elsewhere, Kyle’s castmates weighed in, with Kathy Hilton, 66, praising her younger sister as “smart” for not making any big decisions when she and Mauricio first split and noting that she may still not be ready to date.
“I think that now it’s been enough time that she should get out, but she’s got to want to and be ready for it,” she explained. “She doesn’t need to get remarried. She’s not having children.”
Then, speaking about the kind of man Kyle needs, Dorit Kemsley, 49, said she should be with someone who “absolutely cherishes her, who adores her, who’s not afraid to show it, [and] who will show it relentlessly every day in a passionate way.”
“Whomever Kyle ends up with needs to be okay with all of Kyle’s life, meaning a public persona, a private persona, her children, her husband… cowboy hats,” added Erika Jayne, 54.
During another segment of the RHOBH: After Show, Kyle reflected on her 27-year marriage to Mauricio, confirming she had no regrets.
“I would not have done anything in my life differently than I have. I had an amazing marriage for many, many years. I was very happy and had a beautiful family. I still have a beautiful family,” she explained.
As for how her daughters feel about her moving on, she revealed they “just want [her] to be happy,” no matter what that looks like.
“They don’t care. They just love me and support me, and that means the absolute world to me. It gives me the freedom to do whatever I want because their opinions do matter to me. I do think about what they think and what they want for me, so having their support makes me feel happy,” she shared. “There’s a sense of freedom of like, I can do whatever, and they’re just gonna love me and support me.”
