There has been a widespread dialogue about the separation of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky. Many believed that she had moved on with Morgan Wade while he was seen parading around with various women. However, now their daughter Alexia is opening up and admitting that she had to find out about the news from outside sources instead of from a conversation with her parents.
Kyle and Mauricio have been married since 1996. They have two other kids together- Sophia,24, and Portia, 16. Kyle has another daughter, Farrah, 35, from a previous marriage. The four girls have been seen on RHOBH quite a bit through the years. They also appear on Buying Beverly Hills. Unfortunately, it was confirmed last year that they were calling it quits for the time being.
According to Page Six, Alexia recently revealed on the Scrubbing In with Becca Tilley & Tanya Rad podcast that she actually learned about her parents splitting up from the news.
Alexia said, “We found out from (an) article. The news of my parents’ separation came out before we had ever talked about it as a family internally.”
Unfortunately, she had very little time to process the news as they had to film Buying Beverly Hills the next day.
According to Alexia, “And then the cameras for ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ were coming the very next day.”
Alexia goes on to say that Kyle and Mauricio treated this differently than other rumors about her family. Typically, they’d ignore speculation. She then discusses filming their tough conversations for the show.
“We just kind of had a moment, we were like, ‘We need to start talking. And the cameras were gonna be there anyway, so we just leaned in. And that was in July. So, a lot has changed since then. But now we talked about everything.”
She continues, “What was filmed was two of the four big conversations we’ve had as a family. We had one conversation when the news came out, but my sister Farrah wasn’t there. So the next day, when the cameras came, Farrah came, and that was the first full conversation we as a family had. So that was as real as it gets, as honest and open as it gets, which is so crazy.”
Alexia adds, “That was the first conversation with sisters and just dad that we were like, we need to be doing this more. We feel out of the loop. We’re learning things from TMZ, and it doesn’t feel fair.”
Fans can watch season 2 of Buying Beverly Hills on Netflix.
