Speaking to PEOPLE magazine at a charity gala in Beverly Hills this week, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star got candid about co-parenting with her estranged husband. And while many celebrity breakups tend to get messy, Kyle’s approach seems refreshingly down-to-earth.
“Mauricio and I get along really well. You know, we both want the best for each other,” she shared. It’s a simple sentiment, but one that clearly makes a big difference in their day-to-day. The pair, who have four daughters between them, seem to be putting family first despite going their separate ways romantically.
She went on to say, “We love our daughters. So we were very good friends. I have his back. He has mine.”
It’s that solid foundation of friendship that Kyle says is helping them navigate this new chapter. When asked how they’ve managed to make co-parenting work so smoothly, she replied, “I think we’re just really good friends, and we always have been, so that came in handy. That’s one good thing out of that.”
Kyle, now 56, has been a familiar face on UK screens thanks to the massive popularity of RHOBH, and fans have watched her family life unfold for years. She shares her eldest daughter, 36-year-old Farrah, with her ex-husband Guraish Aldjufri. The rest—Alexia, 28, Sophia, 25, and Portia, 17—are from her marriage to Mauricio, a high-profile real estate broker.
Despite the change in their relationship status, Kyle seems intent on keeping things steady at home. There’s no talk of bitterness or blame—just a clear effort to maintain respect and support for each other as parents.
For fans used to the explosive drama that can sometimes follow Real Housewives stars, Kyle’s calm and cooperative approach might come as a bit of a surprise—but it’s also a reminder that not every breakup has to end in disaster. Sometimes, a little friendship goes a long way.
