Kyle Richards Felt ‘100% Done’ With Her Time on RHOBH – But Is Now ‘Changing Her Mind’ About Returning to Bravo
Kyle Richards Reconsiders Leaving RHOBH
Kyle Richards was ready to leave Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after an emotional season, but new developments have made her reconsider.
Despite saying she was “100% done” with the show after a difficult year, Kyle is now flip-flopping on her decision. Sources say she has cooled off from the drama and is open to returning for Season 15.
Legacy and Career Milestones
One of the reasons Kyle is considering staying is her legacy on the show. She doesn’t want her time on RHOBH to end on a negative note, similar to how Lisa Vanderpump left.
She is also aware that if she returns, she will become the longest-running Housewife on Bravo with 15 consecutive seasons. While this isn’t her main motivation, she sees it as a meaningful career achievement.
Currently, Kyle’s 14 seasons tie with Kandi Burruss (Real Housewives of Atlanta) and Teresa Giudice (Real Housewives of New Jersey). However, RHONJ’s future remains uncertain, which could further solidify Kyle’s record.
The Challenges of Filming
Kyle has endured an emotionally draining season, especially with her divorce from Mauricio Umansky. After filming ended, she felt mentally and physically exhausted, leaving her unsure if she had anything left to give.
However, she has since gained a new perspective and is leaning toward returning.
A key factor in her final decision will be the upcoming reunion episode. If the reunion goes badly or she feels unfairly treated, she may decide to walk away for good.
Kyle and Mauricio’s Uncertain Future
Kyle and Mauricio, once considered Bravo’s “golden couple,” are in the best place they can be given their circumstances. While they remain supportive of each other, insiders believe a reconciliation is unlikely.
Their separation isn’t hostile, but they have not rushed to file for divorce. Dividing their assets, including The Agency, will be a complex and lengthy process.
Financial Complications of Their Split
Kyle and Mauricio did not sign a prenup when they married in 1996, meaning their assets will likely be split 50/50. When they first got together, they had little money and lived in a small two-bedroom apartment with three children.
However, their wealth skyrocketed when RHOBH launched in 2010, and Mauricio’s real estate career took off.
Kyle played a key role in helping Mauricio establish The Agency, which has since expanded globally. In 2023 alone, The Agency sold over $12.4 billion in real estate.
Kyle’s Emotional Journey on RHOBH
Kyle has been a staple of RHOBH since Season 1, sharing raw and personal moments of her life.
Her recent on-screen moments with Mauricio have been particularly emotional, leaving fans wondering how their story will ultimately unfold.
As RHOBH continues to shake up its cast, fans eagerly await Kyle’s final decision on whether she will return for another season.
