Real Housewives of Orange County star Taylor Armstrong shared some words of support to her fellow housewife Kyle Richards during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
On Tuesday’s (Sept. 5) episode, host Andy Cohen asked Armstrong what she thought about Richards’ separation from her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky.
“You know how much I love Kyle, and I want Kyle to be happy,” she replied, per Page Six.
“I love them both so much and I know that they’re always going to love each other,” Armstrong said. “I want everyone to be happy. I’m so neutral on that whole issue.”
Reports from this summer claimed the longtime couple were splitting up after 27 years of marriage, though sources at the time said they continued to live under the same roof.
Though Umansky and Richards have previously shut down rumors of their separation on multiple occasions in recent months, Cohen seemingly let slip that their relationship status will be addressed “in some way, shape or form,” in the next season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
Umansky also stated during an appearance on the Two Ts in a Pod podcast that their relationship would be featured in Season 13, though he denied the divorce rumors.
“We’re not getting divorced,” he said at the time. “I mean, it’s so dumb. That one stupid story that came out there, and then the girls all, you know, decided to talk about it on the Housewives, and so now it’s a storyline.”
After months of speculation, the couple released a joint statement saying “any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue.” While the statement admitted that they “had a rough year,” Umansky and Richards maintained that they “both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
Erika Jayne similarly showed support to the couple, saying that she felt it was “best” for Richards to “tell her own story.”
The couple still appear to be on good terms on social media, with Richards praising Umansky in a touching Father’s Day post earlier this summer.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans will be able to learn more about the couple when the series comes back later this fall.
