Kyle Richards opened up about her separation with Mauricio Umansky on Wednesday’s Watch What Happens Live.
Following the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the Halloween actress, 54, went into detail about their split after 27 years of marriage, admitting she was the one to initiate it.
‘It originated from me, I’ll say,’ Kyle sheepishly said.
The star went on to say that the pair are still living under the same roof, but in separate rooms.
‘I let him stay in the primary bedroom because it’s very masculine and the upstairs floor is like the glam and there’s a bed,’ she detailed.

All me: ‘It originated from me, I’ll say,’ Kyle said
‘And I was like, “What am I going to do? Put him in a room with flower and pink and velvet?” No’.
Kyle also revealed how her family was handling the split, as she shares three daughters with Mauricio and another daughter from a previous marriage.
‘When the news came out it was really, really devastating, the whole family,’ Kyle said. ‘Our phones were blowing up. My kids were just crying and wouldn’t leave the house and it was really, really difficult.
‘But now they are much better and really strong. They are so together, so smart and they have been my best, best friends.’
Bravo boss Andy Cohen then grilled Kyle – who was on the show alongside her former RHOBH costar Teddi Mellencamp – on those romance rumors with 28-year-old country singer Morgan Wade.
‘I can tell you that she is absolutely one of my best, best friends in the world,’ Kyle said. ‘As well as Teddi, we are all very close.’
Kyle said she met Morgan through Instagram and met her for the first time with Teddi and then started a group chat.
The actress added that she started the chat because they all wake up very early at 4 a.m. to workout and would text every day.

‘We all became very, very close,’ Kyle said.
‘Honestly when I see things, if she didn’t have all those tattoos people would not say that. I mean I’m with all my friends all the time and they don’t pay attention.’
Kyle then pointed to Teddi and said they were accused of being an item as well.
Andy asked Kyle how things were between her sister Kathy Hilton, 64, after he said he saw pictures of them at Morgan’s concert.
‘Everything now is great and it means a lot to me with everything that I’m going through right now,’ Kyle said. ‘And I want it to stay that way.’
Kathy is mother to Paris and Nicky Hilton.
