Are Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky Still Friends with Dorit Kemsley and Paul "PK" Kemsley?
Dorit discussed her and PK's relationship with Kyle and Mauricio on RHOBH.
The relationship dynamics are changing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 — from Kyle Richards' marriage to Mauricio Umansky, to Dorit Kemsley's own issues with husband Paul "PK" Kemsley.
The two couples have long been close, but was their friendship affected by the changes that are currently playing out? On Season 13, Episode 2, which aired on November 1, Dorit shared a surprising update on where she and PK stand in their friendship with Kyle and Mauricio.
Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky, Dorit Kemsely, and PK Kemsley's Friendship Update
While speaking to Kyle on Episode 2, Dorit asked the RHOBH O.G. how things are going with Mauricio.
Kyle acknowledged that the two had been going through a "rough patch" for about six months, while Dorit also revealed that she and PK had been dealing with some issues in their marriage following their home robbery.
In an interview on the episode, Dorit revealed why she asked Kyle about her marriage. "PK and I used to go for dinners all the time with Kyle and Mo. We'd go on vacations, we'd go to their house," she said. "We haven't seen Kyle and Mo as a couple in a very long time. Something has got to be up."
In the car, Dorit asked Kyle if she's "had any thoughts, recently" about whether she might "not end up with Mo."
When Kyle asked why, Dorit noted that she's used to seeing the spouses together on Instagram. "It just seemed like you were spending a lot of time away from each other," she added.
"I feel I needed a little bit of freedom," Kyle admitted. "Freedom and some space."
"Like, specifically away from your husband?" Dorit wondered.
"I think away from everything," Kyle clarified, but Dorit wasn't fully convinced.
"I feel like there's something you're not telling me," Dorit said before elaborating on that feeling in her confessional. "I feel like whatever Kyle is saying is not actually how she feels. I also feel like I really need to just respect her boundaries, even though I know in my heart it's not true."
Where Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky Stand Today
During an appearance on the October 25 episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kyle confirmed publicly for the first time that she and Mauricio were separated.
She also shared who was the "driving force" behind the separation.
"It originated from me, I would say," Kyle said. "Yeah. It did."
Kyle then offered an update on how the couple's kids were doing (the pair shares daughters Alexia, Sophia, and Portia Umansky together, while Kyle also has a daughter, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, from a prior marriage).
"When the news first came out, it was really, really devastating for the whole family. I mean, our phones were blowing up, my kids were just crying and wouldn't leave the house, and it was really, really difficult," she said. "But now, they're much better and they're really strong and they're just so together and so smart and they've been my best, best, best friends, and I could not be more proud of them. They're just amazing human beings, and thank God I have them through this."
