    Kyle Richards' daughters have been an "unbelievable source of support" amid her marriage breakdown

    The 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star, 55, separated from husband Mauricio Umansky last summer after almost three decades of marriage, and she is grateful to Farrah, 35 - whom she has with first husband Guraish Aldjufrie - and Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, Portia, 16, whose father is the 53-year-old businessman, for giving her advice.


    Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight' at the An Unforgettable Evening gala, benefiting the Women's Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), at the Beverly Wilshire on Wednesday (10.04.24), she said: "They just have been the most unbelievable source of support for me.

    "It's funny because I am the mom, but they are giving me advice and they're just so smart and so together."

    Kyle is proud of the way her girls have dealt with the marital split.

    She added: "Obviously, as a mom, I worry about them first. But they really have been taking care of me too.

    "These have been some of my most proud moments as a mom, honestly. How they've handled all this."

    Kyle has also been given "amazing advice" from pop star Rihanna, 36, on how to deal with other women intruding on her privacy by demanding they know all the "intimacies" of her marriage.

    She met the Fenty founder, 36, on vacation in Aspen, Colorado, in December, after she made her way into a closed store and the singer happened to be upstairs.

    Speaking on SiriusXM's 'Let's Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa', she recalled: "So, she was in Kemo Sabi when I was in Aspen.

    "It was actually closed, Kemo Sabi, and I was heading home, and I saw there was a light on and I was like, 'Oh, I need to get something from there,' and I knew they would open the door for me. So I knocked and they're like, 'Oh, it's Kyle,' and I saw them like saying something like, 'What do we do,' and I was like, What's going on?'"

    She continued: "She stopped my daughter once and tapped my daughter on the shoulder when she was with a group of her friends, and my daughter turned around."

    After being told Rihanna was upstairs, they had a heart-to-heart, with the 'We Found Love' hitmaker giving her "all kinds of amazing advice about my marriage, the women, and how we're handling things."

    Sharing the sage advice, she added: "I haven't told anybody this, but she said something that was so amazing to me, and I was like, 'Oh my god.' She said, 'Next time one of these women want to know all the details of the intimacies of your marriage, tell them 'Why do I need to give you the blueprint to my home when I'm already renovated?'"

    Praising the Grammy winner, she continued: "I was like, 'This woman is so smart. She's such a woman's woman.' She was so incredibly supportive and sweet and just such a beautiful person just inside and out."

    Kyle also insisted she has not started dating again yet, despite recently claiming she'd be open to romancing a woman.

    She said: "I mean that day will come regardless because we are separated, and we're allowed to do what we want to do right now. That's the way it is."
