Kyle Richards breaks down in tears discussing ‘divorce’ from estranged husband Mauricio Umansky at emotional BravoCon panel: ‘Not my idea of my fairy tale’

Kyle Richards was brought to tears while discussing her heartbreaking split with husband Mauricio Umansky at BravoCon on Sunday.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 54, had to pause for a moment to collect her thoughts and wipe her eyes when the topic came up at the Las Vegas panel.

‘We love each other very much and we are family no matter what happens,’ she said, according to TooFab. ‘We’re trying to figure it out. We know we love each other.” 

Her voice cracked and the crowd began to chant her name, as seen in a video obtained by the outlet, as she continued: ‘I just want to say, a lot of people think, “What are you doing? Fix everything.” Obviously, that’s what I would want. This is not my idea of my fairy tale, clearly.’

Before a clip from an upcoming episode of RHOBH was shown to close out the discussion, she told the crowd, ‘Anyway, I appreciate your support.’

Work it out: ‘We love each other very much and we are family no matter what happens,’ she said in videos of the Q&A posted online. ‘We’re trying to figure it out. We know we love each other’

The emotional outpouring came shortly after Kyle publicly referred to her shock split from Mauricio as a ‘divorce’ for the first time.

Three months after revealing they separated, but were still living under the same roof, albeit in different rooms, the reality star, 54, spoke about how her strained marriage has affected her.

‘I’ve gone through a lot this last year that does change you. Losing my best friend to suicide changed me. Going through my divorce, all that has made me stronger but it definitely changes you as a person. I feel good,’ she said at BravoCon according to TooFab. 

When asked if there’s ‘any chance for reconciliation’ between her and Umansky, 53, the Halloween star said she’s taking it ‘a day at a time.’ 

‘I’m grateful that we get along so well and love each other very much and we’re putting our family first,’ Richards said. ‘We’re still living together under the same roof and I’m proud of the way that we are navigating through this. I just take it a day at a time.’ 

While speaking about watching the current season of RHOBH, she said it’s been ‘really hard’ seeing her ‘kids’ faces’ during ‘those conversations.’ 

‘I didn’t even see last week’s episode, I’m trying to watch it on my phone and was like, ugh, I’m getting stressed and then I forgot it was on,’ the mother-of-four added. ‘This is what happens after 13 years. I forgot to watch it and didn’t even remember to post about it. So maybe that’s a subconscious thing I’m doing. Its just gonna be hard to relive all that.’ 

Her remark comes after she admitted that she and Umansky were going through a rough patch on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Mauricio insisted the whole thing was overblown as he explained what had transpired: ‘We’re really good friends, and just to clarify we went to a restaurant to go get some sushi right after rehearsal, we were in our rehearsal clothes. Lots of the stories are wrong, lots of them.

‘Yes, it’s a very intense week, a very emotional week, we were talking about the week during dinner, and when we came out of dinner, we were recapping and I reached out to grab Emma’s hand and she grabbed my hand, and then we walked to the cars, you know just recapping and summarizing, and then the paparazzi caught that moment and it’s become a blown out moment,’ he continued.

‘And then all of the sudden we’re dating,’ Emma joked.

‘That’s it. Hope that clarifies. That’s the end of that story,’ Mauricio said.
