Kyle Richards said she reached out to her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky via text after learning her half-sister Kathy Hilton recently broke her silence on their split.

Fans were shocked when it was revealed in July that Kyle, 54, and Mauricio, 53, were separating after 27 years of marriage and three children together.

But Kathy — who resolved her ugly feud with Kyle earlier this year — did not speak publicly on the matter until her Monday appearance on Today With Hoda And Jenna.

In the interview, Kathy, 64, expressed heartbreak over the separation while also strongly hinting that the decision is a serious one.

‘When she said that, I was like, “Oh, my gosh, that’s just going to start a whole thing too,” and actually I texted [Mauricio],’ Kyle dished to former RHOBH co-star Teddi Mellencamp on Extra.

‘I’m like, ‘I know you’re going to see this,’ and he’s like, ‘I just saw. I’m not even looking at these things anymore. I’m not going to do any deep dives.”

Kyle told Teddi that, despite it being ‘upsetting’ to see her split play out in the headlines, she doesn’t believe Kathy meant any ill will. 

She is thankful to have the support of Kathy and their sister Kim Richards, 59, but they do not know the ins and outs of her marriage with Mauricio.

‘Here’s the thing, the truth is, my sisters have been very supportive by offering their support, texting me, calling me, but I haven’t shared with my sisters anything about really what’s going on in my marriage, to be honest,’ the Halloween star revealed.

She added: ‘I tend to keep to myself when I’m going through a difficult time.’

Kyle recently told ET that things are ‘amicable’ between herself and Mauricio.

‘All I know is we love each other. We still live under the same roof and we both want the best for each other,’ she said.

‘I am so happy that it is amicable right now and I hope it stays that way. We are just taking it a day at a time and putting our family first.’

They spent the recent Thanksgiving holiday together with their children. 

Kathy showed her support for Kyle during Monday’s Today show sit-down with daughter Paris Hilton.  

When asked if she thought her sister and the real estate agent would get back together she snapped, ‘Honestly you’re asking me? There’s no way that Kyle would’ve gone this far unless she really thought about it.’

She continued: ‘She’s a Capricorn. She’s opinionated. When she makes a decision…she didn’t just pull that out of a hat. She’s a wonderful mother. Wonderful wife.

‘She’s going to do the right thing. They care about each other. Their [four] children are very important to them. It is what it is…but try to make it nice.’

Kathy told the hosts that Kyle is ‘very strong, she’s resilient,’ and can handle this bump in the road. 

She then recalled the moment she learned the news and how it ‘just broke my heart.’

She also said she loved Kyle’s kids: Together Kyle and Mauricio have three daughters: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. Kyle also has 35-year-old Farrah with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie.

She told Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager that she just wants Kyle ‘to be happy’ 

Paris, 42, tried to keep the tone positive as she mentioned that her aunt is ‘looking hotter than ever’ after ramping up her workouts.

Kathy added: ‘Then the dating’s going to start.’

The formerly estranged sisters reunited on Tuesday night as Kathy hosted a DIRECTV-sponsored Christmas party at her $55M Bel-Air mansion.

‘There will be caroling and collecting all the [toy drive] gifts to bring everybody together for Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California,’ Kathy said of the charity event to Forbes last week. ‘Everyone will leave that night feeling like they did their part.’ 

It was truly a family reunion for the wealthy siblings – who only ended their feud five months earlier in Aspen – as they posed alongside their middle sister Kim Richards.

Kathy and Kyle stopped speaking after she allegedly told their former co-star Lisa Rinna that she would ‘f***ing ruin Kyle’ during an off-camera meltdown in February 2022.

By June 24, the blonde philanthropist told Richards, ‘I’m sorry. It wasn’t your fault’ while posing together at high-end western wear store Kemo Sabe in Aspen during their niece Whitney Davis’ wedding festivities.

Other prior fights involved the brunette Bravo-lebrity’s outing their sister Kim as an alcoholic in 2010 as well as her Paramount Network’s 2018 series American Woman about their family.
