While the heartwarming display of love for Portia is truly touching, it is essential to note that the former couple also have daughters, Alexia and Sophia.

Cutting to the chase, Richards shared, "My husband and I are very fortunate. And with our family, we are very fortunate. We are a family that loves to be together, and we do everything together with our daughters. And we genuinely love hanging out together."

Family unity has always been crucial for Richards and Umansky, but it has not stopped the actress from making a significant change on social media.

According to The Blast, the socialite updated her Instagram account to display "Kyle Richards" instead of "Kyle Richards Umansky," but "wife" in her bio.

The exact timing of this change remains unclear, but it coincides with Umansky's decision to move out of their shared home. 

The Blast previously reported that the real estate mogul purchased a luxury condo in West Hollywood, in the same building where actor Matt Damon owns an $8.6 million unit. 

Sources suggested that the father-of-four's new living arrangement stemmed from his ongoing situation with Richards. An insider noted that their dynamic was improving under these new arrangements.

The source also mentioned that Richards plans to stay in their primary residence while Umansky is expected to visit frequently, especially when she is away. 

However, while the former lovebirds seem to have adjusted to living separately, they have yet to address any plans for divorce.
