Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley have gotten to a better place amid filming on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 16.
In a recent interview, Kyle’s daughter, Alexia Umansky, 30, and estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, 56, addressed the dynamics of the new season, reacted to Tracy Tutor, 51, and Leah Remini, 56, joining the show, and teased where Dorit, 50, stood with Tracy after their 2025 feud while also sharing Kyle’s reaction to Vicki Gunvalson‘s seemingly cold response to her getting emotional about her and Mau’s anniversary on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.
“I’m so happy. It’s been great,” Alexia revealed on the September 30 episode of Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, confirming Chanel Ayan‘s claim that Kyle, 57, and Dorit were friends once again.
“I love Dorit. So, you know, it’s always sad when the girls are fighting. We never like that,” she noted.
“It’s all the circle of life,” added Mau.
Looking back on the RHUGT moment in which Vicki stated that Kyle had let her family down by splitting from Mauricio, which many felt was a bit harsh, Alexia confirmed she saw it air, but she insisted that her mom wasn’t offended.
“I talked to my mom about it because I thought it was kind of funny. But my mom didn’t take it that way,” she noted. “It was almost as if she felt weirdly reassured. It’s kind of just like, ‘You know what, you have every right to feel the way you’re feeling.’ My mom actually felt validated. I think it was translated incorrectly in the moment, especially through the camera. But my mom knew Vicki’s intention and did not take it that way by any means. She actually felt supported by Vicki.”
Mauricio didn’t see the moment air, and he revealed that he had only seen a “very little” bit of the show.

As for Tracy and Leah joining the show, Mauricio said, “I think it’s great … I think they’re gonna be fantastic.”
And Alexia agreed, saying, “I think it’s wonderful.”
She then revealed that the entire cast had been in attendance at her sister Farrah Aldjufrie‘s baby shower.
“All the Housewives were at my sister Farrah’s baby shower. [I] got to see Tracy in action with the girls, with Dorit. Dorit was there as well,” she confirmed.
Then, after admitting she was unaware of Dorit and Tracy’s past drama, which saw Tracy accusing Dorit of failing to pay her glam team, Alexia said she thought that they were in a good place.
“I think so. You never know, though, like, what’s going on. But I think it’s all good. I think it’s gonna be a really good season,” she teased.
