Bravo's BravoCon took place over the weekend, where stars of franchises could answer all of the burning questions leading up to their premiere dates. While it is usually a fun occasion for stars of reality shows, Kyle Richards from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills teared up when it came to speaking about her relationship with Mauricio Umansky.
“It was sort of new for me, what we were going through,” she said about she and her estranged husband's relationship per PEOPLE. “Starting the show, even today, we’re still under the same roof and I didn’t know how to manage that. And I also am somebody who can’t pretend. I don’t have a very good poker face. So a lot of those things that happen with my husband, you can see I’m not thrilled or happy.”
“I told the girls in the beginning I was having a hard time and I just had to figure it out myself. I’d also come off of having a very difficult time [at] the reunion with my sister Kathy, that was very painful,” she shared tearing up. “I’d also lost my best friend to suicide…it was a lot of stuff for me going on and I was just trying to keep it together.”
“We love each other very much and we are family no matter what happens and have a very strong family unit,” she continued. “My 3 girls still live at home…he was busy doing DWTS so he wasn’t around as much but we’re trying to figure it out. We know we love each other.”
“I just want to say, a lot of people think, ‘Pull it together. Fix it’ Obviously, that’s what I would want,” she said trying to keep her composure. “This is not my idea of my fairy tale, clearly …. Anyway, I do appreciate all your support.”
