Kathy Hilton Says She's Hopeful for a Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky  Reconciliation

Kathy Hilton remains optimistic about Kyle Richards’ marriage.

Nearly two years after Kyle confirmed her split from Mauricio Umansky, Kathy reiterated her hope for the ex-couple’s reconciliation. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills friend explained her position during a red-carpet interview with Too Fab, admitting she had a hard time accepting change.

“I don’t like change. I really don’t. I’m a creature of habit. I go to the same restaurants…” she said at the 32nd Annual Race to Erase MS Gala. “[Mauricio’s] our family, the children, all of that. To me, they are still children, and everybody wants their mom and dad together. But you never know… I think in life there’s always hope.”

Andy Cohen "surprised" by Kathy Hilton's comments on Kyle Richards' split

Kathy made similar comments during the RHOBH Season 14 reunion, when host Andy Cohen asked the Hilton matriarch if she wanted her little sister and Mauricio to get back together.

“Yes,” Kathy said, to which Andy replied, “You would? Really?… I’m so surprised to hear you say that.”

“I don’t like things to change,” Kathy said while dabbing her tears away. “I just, for the kids… For me, I want everything staying the same.”

 

Kyle and Mauricio married in 1996 and went on to welcome three children together: Alexia Umansky, Sophia Umansky, and Portia Umansky. Mauricio is also a stepdad to Farrah Brittany, Kyle’s first daughter from a previous marriage.As of May 2025, the estranged couple had not taken any steps toward legal separation.
