Alexia and her fiancé, Jake Zingerman, celebrated their engagement with a huge party three weeks ago, with both beaming parents in attendance. 

Kyle seems to be enjoying getting to know herself since her separation.

In spite of rumors of a romance with her friend Wade, the influencer has not been seen on dates with anyone publicly.

Umansky, however, has been seen in the company of several beautiful women since the split, including models Nikita Kahn, about 34, and Klaudia K, 33.  

Fans worried that Richards might not be part of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills family any more had their concerns abated when creator Andy Cohen let it slip she would be in front of the cameras for season 15. 

‘Kyle is coming back,’ the Bravolebrity revealed while he was co-hosting Jenna & Friends with Jenna Bush Hager on Today June 13.

‘I don’t know if I’m supposed to announce that, but she is.’
