The Bravo star claimed that she and her estranged husband “get along very well” and, even while separated, are still “really good friends.”
Kyle and Mauricio separated in April of last year.
The pair had been married since January 1996 and share three daughters – Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16.

The Buying Beverly Hills star is also stepfather to Kyle’s daughter Farrah, 35, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.
Kyle confessed that she feels “very fortunate” that she and Mauricio can handle their separation the way they currently are, when speaking with Entertainment Tonight
She added, “I don’t know if many people can do that.”
The TV personality also told the outlet, “I would like to believe there is light at the end of the tunnel.
“Each day gets easier in one way and a little sadder in [another] way.”
Kyle revealed that even though she and Maurio are going through “a challenging time,” she and her husband still “love each other and care about each other.”
Last week, the reality TV star made a racy comment on country music singer Morgan Wade’s Instagram.
Morgan shared a video on the social media platform that showed her wearing a full cowgirl get-up.
The Wilder Days singer sported a sleeveless flannel shirt tucked into black denim jeans, a huge silver belt buckle, and a black cowboy hat.
Her shirt was cut down low and exposed her tattoo-covered chest.

In the video, Morgan scrolled through her phone and as the camera zoomed in on her she smiled and flexed her muscles.
She captioned the post, “#movietime,” but fans paid more attention to Kyle’s spicy comment on the video.
The RHOBH star wrote, “Save a horse, ride a cowgirl.”
Morgan replied with a laughing face and skull emoji to show her amusement while her fans left shocked face emojis.
POTENTIAL PARTNER?
In March, Kyle appeared on an RHOBH reunion show.
While on the panel, she was asked about her potential romantic relationship with Morgan.
Since her separation from Mauricio, Kyle has spent a lot of time with Morgan.
“I wanna turn to the person who got everyone talking this season, and that’s your friend Morgan Wade,” asked show host, Andy Cohen.
It was apparent that the Bravo star didn’t want to talk about Morgan as she outwardly sighed at the mention of the singer’s name.
“Is there anything going on between the two of you?”
Kyle denied the claims but Andy didn’t let up as he pressed, “Are you a couple?”
“I mean, I love her and she’s my friend and I love her,” Kyle replied.
“Kyle, could you see yourself with Morgan?” Andy pushed.
She shouted, “I don’t know!” to which Andy stated, “That’s not a no.”
MAURICIO’S MISTAKE?
Near the end of last year, Mauricio came under fire by fans online for drinking with a 27-year-old influencer.
The Netflix star was seen on the singer Anitta’s Instagram Story and Feed after a wild night at what appeared to be a ski lodge in Aspen.
Anitta, 30, shared multiple photos and videos from the trip, and Mauricio and Lele Pons, 27, were highlighted in several of them.
Mauricio and Lele were on the same season of Dancing with the Stars.
In one picture Lele and Anitta posted, the two women were on the ski slope while wearing skis.
They were held large bottles of champagne as the RHOBH star took a selfie with them.
In another picture, Mauricio could be seen cuddling up next to the singer while shirtless.
Anitta was wearing a sports bra while holding another bottle of champagne and sticking her tongue out.
On X, formerly known as Twitter, Real Housewives fans had a lot of opinions about Mauricio’s new crowd of associates.
One person said, “Can you say the mid-life crisis is contagious?”
Another wrote, “Exactly why Kyle left him. Mauricio has been going downhill for a few years now.
They continued, “He is acting like Lenny from Miami… so pathetic.”
“You can see why Kyle and Mo aren’t compatible anymore…” tweeted a third.
