In The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th preview above, Kyle Richards breaks down in tears due to a text message she received from her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky.
“Today’s my 30-year anniversary,” The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member reveals to The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson. “It just makes me sad, you know? He sent me a text and it just set me off.”
Kyle goes on to reveal the emotional words Mauricio said in his text: “It said, ‘Today’s always such a hard day,’ and ‘I love you.’ He said, ‘I don’t know how we got here.’ That’s what he said.”
She reflects, “I thought we were stronger than that, you know? I really had thought that.”
Vicki admits she had the same thoughts on the state of Kyle’s marriage ahead of their separation. “As an outsider? I thought so too,” Vicki states.
Vicki then opens up to producers with her sympathy for Kyle on her milestone wedding anniversary. “My heart is breaking for Kyle because they’ve got everything that everybody’s looking for. And 30 years of marriage, and all the sudden it’s dissolving?” she wonders.
Kyle reveals one of the more difficult aspects on her estrangement from Mauricio: the public reaction. “The thing that bothered me the most, honestly, was people saying that we gave them hope that true love existed. And now, that went out the window for them,” she confesses to producers. “But, I understand people thinking like that.”
Kyle Richards reveals her fears about separation from Mauricio Umansky
Although Kyle and Mauricio had been separated for years when RHUGT: Roaring 20th was filmed, Kyle admits that the idea of being apart from Mauricio isn’t any easier to swallow.
“I mean, twenty years from now, when you’re older, it’s going to be [your 50 year anniversary],” Vicki points out in the preview, and Kyle asks, “Is it still going to bother me then?”
“Of course it is! It still bothers me with Donn,” Vicki answers, referring to her ex-husband, Donn Gunvalson. She filed for divorce from Donn in 2010, after more than 15 years of marriage.
Still, Kyle remains hopeful her pain would lessen over time. “Once we’re divorced I would hope it wouldn’t bother me,” she remarks.
However, Vicki comments, “I’ve been divorced from Don since 2014. Every time a birthday comes up, or an anniversary, I think what happened?”
Kyle admits Vicki’s words leave her with a lot to consider. “I mean, when I hear Vicki say that the pain still lives within her, it scares me. I wanna be past this,” she confesses to producers.
