Kyle Richards is already anticipating her life as an empty nester. However, it’s not happening yet. For now, with college ahead for Portia Umansky, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is so grateful that her daughter Sophia Umansky isn’t leaving home just yet.
Kyle has always been close with her girls. Even when things were getting difficult during her split with Mauricio Umansky, the pair tried to keep it amicable and did their best to keep the home life stable. Even now, they are still involved in their daughters’ lives, including future college plans.
Kyle Richards’ nest isn’t empty yet but college looms for Portia
Currently, Kyle still has two daughters living with her at home. She talked about it in her latest Amazon Live Stream when a viewer asked her about being an empty-nester. She shared a quick bit about Portia’s upcoming college plans and how she is grateful to still have Sophia at home. So, not quite an empty nester yet.
“Well, I still have two daughters at home,” she said during the stream. “But I am definitely heading in that direction because Sophia just turned 25, but she doesn’t plan on leaving home yet, which I am grateful for. Alexia left home when she was 27, almost 28. And Portia is 16.”
So while Portia is off to college, Kyle will still have Sophia at home with her. The two still remain close despite her and Mauricio’s separation. It looks like they’ve crossed the hurdle when things got really hard. At one point, Sophia even accused her parents of not trying when their marriage was falling apart.
However, life goes on and Kyle, Mo, and their daughters are living in their new normal. This includes looking for colleges for Portia.
“I’m going to be looking at colleges with Portia,” Kyle revealed. ‘This is crazy.”
Although she’s not technically an empty nester, Kyle does admit she gets a taste of that life often as both her younger daughters are very independent.
“I will get there one day,” she admitted. “But they do out a lot and they’re busy a lot, so I already know what it feels like to be an empty nester, which is really weird.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
