Kyle later addressed their separation, revealing what caused the split — at least, on her end.
“I think there were certain things that were there that we had kind of been putting on the back burner for a long time. You know, you’re pregnant and you’re breastfeeding. And then it was working and juggling the kids and you kind of forget about it, and then it resurfaces again,” she told Hoda & Jenna on the Today show in February. “And I think I just kind of came to a, I would say a breaking point, honestly. And I’ve gone through a lot. I lost my best friend, and I think that really does change you and makes you look at things differently.”

Kyle and Mauricio married in 1996. They share three biological daughters: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, and Portia, who just turned 16, so custody of her will be an issue if they officially pull the plug. Mauricio is also a stepdad to Kyle's oldest daughter, Farrah, 35, and has been a strong presence in her life since childhood. The girls — minus Portia — all work with Mauricio at The Agency and appear on his Netflix show, Buying Beverly Hills.
