Next week marks the return of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo for season *13*, which looks to be the most dramatic yet. I had no idea what to anticipate with everything going on with Kyle and Mauricio, Lisa Rinna’s shocking departure, and Erica vs. Denise! Here’s all you need to know about this season, even if we’re all looking forward to these Real Housewives faves’ probably wild comeback!
“RHOBH” Season 13 Episode 1 Recap
These Beverly Hills babes are back, and they brought some bombshells with them for the season 13 premiere!
First things first: as was briefly revealed in the sneak peek, Lisa Rinna’s resignation from Real Housewives was verified on this episode. After ten years of going through a lot on the show, I imagine Rinna’s Cancer heart finally gave up. Her outrageous wigs and quirky catchphrases will be missed!
The next thing to notice is that Sutton receives a sizable payment for her spousal support—exactly $300,000 every month. Sutton wrote, “Hey! I got to keep my AMEX points in addition to other assets I obtained in the split. She deserved that, no questions asked!” I agree, girlie, as a point.
And now on to the elephant in every Real Housewives room these days — Kyle and Mauricio. While not much was revealed about the nature of their relationship and subsequent split on the show, it was pretty telling that Mauricio didn’t even know how many tattoos his wife has. After the episode aired, Kyle chatted with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live to elaborate on the nature of her relationship as of now. She noted that the two still cohabitate, but they each stay in separate rooms. Kyle also intimated that she doesn’t know the details about Mauricio and Emma Slater, but that it really hurt her to see them holding hands. I can’t imagine hearing about all their great chemistry on the show is helping that much…Oof. I have a feeling we’re in for a rocky road this season with these two.
Are Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky still together?
No, Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards are not together. This follows a rise in concerns about Kyle’s relationship with country music artist Morgan Wade. Not only did she feature in Morgan’s most recent music video as a romantic interest, but Morgan also got Kyle’s initial tattooed on her body.
Recently, Mauricio and Emma Slater, his partner on Dancing With the Stars, were spotted out and about. She recently got divorced, and it looks like Mauricio is back in the dating game these days. According to her Watch What Happens Live interview, Kyle isn’t too happy about this, and we’re sorry to see her in pain.
While we don’t know the nature of the split (and the friendship in question), we think we’ll find out more during The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13. And ultimately, we hope the Umansky family is taking care of themselves amid the heightened speculations.
Are Dorit and PK still married?
The only thing about Dorit and PK that is publicly known is that they are still wed. But according to a new blind item, or anonymous tip to the media, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are about to have another separation, and it’s allegedly not from the person you would think, as Stephanie Tleiji posted on her TikTok. Tleiji dissected the blind item, listing each couple individually, pointing out who is already separated, who is obviously happy in a marriage, and who is already single. Tleiji had to make assumptions about just one couple after going through everything: Dorit and PK.
After doing some further investigation, it seems like Bravo is alluding to trouble in paradise for these two, publishing an article about their relationship timeline that says, “These “twin souls” have longed claimed to be better together, but could trouble be brewing in paradise for Dorit and PK?”
We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the two can work things out, and that everyone in the family is doing alright.
Is Lisa Rinna returning for “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 13?
No, Lisa Rinna will not return for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13. In the latest sneak peak, we got to see her highly controversial resignation letter. The email reads, “I will not be renewing my contract and I will not be coming back to RHOBH. Thank you so much for 8 years!!!!” Lisa recently joined Bethenny Frankel’s initiative towards a reality TV union, so we think it’s safe to say we won’t see much of her in the Bravo-verse for the time being.
Who will be on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 13?
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG, Kyle Richards will be joined by Erika Jayne, Garcelle Beauvais, Crystal Kung Minkoff, Dorit Kemsley, and Sutton Stracke. We’ll get a new face, Annemarie Wiley, as well as a return appearance from Denise Richards.
