Kyle Richards is gearing up for a busy and festive holiday season! In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE at the 2024 Bravo Fan Fest in Miami, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shared her plans for the upcoming holidays, including a family-filled Thanksgiving and a relaxing ski trip to Aspen.
“I’m always the last-minute person,” the 55-year-old reality star admitted when asked about her holiday prep. “I just sent a text now saying, ‘What time should we do Thanksgiving at the house?’ This is how I roll with my family,” she laughed, explaining how her family keeps things casual, even during the busiest time of the year. “So, I’ll do something later and then Kathy [Hilton] will probably do something earlier, or who even knows?”
When it comes to Christmas, Richards plans to head to Aspen for some quality skiing time, but not before soaking up some precious moments with her family. “I’ll have all my family together,” she shared. “A lot of times what I’ll do is have a Friendsgiving, then I’ll do something with my family before I leave town.”
As for her famous holiday meals, Richards is quick to brag about her culinary talents. “Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner is legendary,” she said with pride. “Everybody gets really excited and starts hitting me up, asking, ‘Are you doing Thanksgiving dinner? Are you cooking?’ My family loves my turkey and mashed potatoes,” she added, smiling. “I’m very good at cooking, I must say.”
Richards’ holiday plans come amid her recent revelations in RHOBH season 14, where she opened up about her separation from estranged husband Mauricio Umansky. Despite the changes in her personal life, she’s making the most of the holidays, cherishing time with her loved ones.
In a vulnerable moment during the season, Richards shared how she spoke to her daughters about the rumors surrounding her relationship with country singer Morgan Wade. She used this as an opportunity to have an open conversation with her daughters about her sexuality. “I felt so loved and so supported,” she recalled. “It’s one of my most proud moments as a mom to see their reaction and what they said to me. They just want me to be happy.”
As Richards prepares for a holiday season full of family, food, and fun, she’s also navigating a new chapter in her life, supported by her children and the love of her family.
