Kathy Hilton reveals whether sister Kyle Richards is ready to date after Mauricio Umansky split

Kathy Hilton is sharing her thoughts on when her half-sister Kyle Richards might be ready to start dating again.

While chatting with People, Hilton, 65, indicated that her 55-year-old Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills costar wasn’t in a big hurry to get back on the scene after splitting from her husband Mauricio Umansky, 54.

‘I think she’s just taking her time. We just wrapped a month ago, and so she’s spending a lot of time with her girls and they were,’ Hilton opined, referencing their film at the Elizabeth Taylor Ball to End AIDS for RHOBH.

‘So she’s really spending a lot of time with the girls,’ she added.

Reports of marital strife between Kyle and Mauricio in the summer of 2023, and she revealed the separation in July of that year.

Kathy also revealed that she and Mauricio still catch up occasionally, though their relationship isn’t as strong as it was prior to his separation from Kyle.

‘We’re family. I want it all to be nice,’ she said of the real estate agent. ‘I have my nieces I love and adore and I like everybody to get along.’

Since separating more than a year ago, Kyle and Mauricio have been dogged by rumors that they would be divorcing shortly.

However, neither party appears to have yet filed to end their marriage, though there’s also no hint so far of a reconciliation. 

Kylie didn’t give any clarity on the future of her relationship with Mauricio when speaking with Us Weekly last month. 

‘I don’t know what the future holds right now with Mauricio and me,’ she said at the time. 

‘We love each other. So that part is easy. What’s not easy is figuring out what’s next. We’re not divorced; he doesn’t live here, but we’re still figuring things out,’ she continued. 

‘On the show, people felt they were owed answers and thought I was withholding stuff — but I’m figuring it out myself.’

Kyle had said on RHOBH that Maurio had done something to make her ‘lost trust’ in him, but she didn’t specify what transpired between the two, defiantly adding that it was ‘nobody’s f***ing business.’

Their future seems to be on even shakier footing, as Kyle confirmed in May of this year that Mauricio had moved out of their home in Encino, California, and moved into a new house in West Hollywood. 

Kathy also revealed that she and Mauricio still catch up occasionally, though their relationship isn’t as strong as it was prior to his separation from Kyle. ‘We’re family,’ she said; seen with Sutton Stracke (L) and Dorit Kemsley (R) in 2021 in Pasadena, Calif.

Kyle was recently wrapped up in another separation controversy on RHOBH after Garcelle Beauvais claimed that the estranged husband of Dorit Kemsley (R) ‘texts her’; still from RHOBH

However, she’s not alone, as her two daughters — Portia, 16, and Sophia, 24 — are still living under her roof.

She also has two older daughters — Alexia, 28, and Farrah, 35 — who live on their own.
