Kyle Richards defended not rushing to discuss divorce with estranged husband Mauricio Umansky.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star told “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” viewers Tuesday why a conversation about legally ending their union has yet to “come up.”
Andy Cohen expressed his doubts that the subject “hasn’t come up yet” as the duo announced their separation in July 2023.
“No,” the reality star, 55, insisted. “We’re good friends. We get along really well. We live separate lives, and it just hasn’t come up.
“When the time comes, obviously, we will address it,” Richards continued.
When Cohen, 56, noted that she was probably “not that psyched to have” that talk, she agreed with the Bravo executive.
“Of course not,” Richards said. “It’s hard, and it’s not something either one of us obviously feels comfortable initiating and we just kind of let that go. … It is what it is right now.”
As for their current dynamic, the actress said she speaks to Umansky, 54, a “couple times a week” and texts him “every couple days” or “sometimes” daily.
However, Richards has “tried to avoid” meeting the women her ex has gone on dates with during their separation.
When it comes to her own love life, the Bravolebrity confirmed that she has “thought about dating.”
When Richards split from the “Buying Beverly Hills” star last year, romance rumors swirled about her friendship with singer Morgan Wade.
The duo have denied headlines and repeatedly said they have a platonic bond.
Umansky, for his part, was linked to his “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Emma Slater, in October 2023 — and their PDA “hurt” Richards’ feelings.
“That was very hard to see,” Richards said on “WWHL” last year, admitting she was “taken aback.”
Umansky has since been hot and heavy on multuple vacations with Russian actress Nikita Kahn.
