“That was weird,” Richards said of Umansky relocating to West Hollywood. “I always knew when that day came it would feel strange. Very real all of a sudden. And that’s exactly what happened.”
She added that his absence was palpable.
“I’m a , I have a busy household. I’ve got six dogs right now,” the reality star said. “I’m used to having a lot of chaos and stuff going around at my house. The day that he moved out was just strange because I came home and I as like, ‘everything’s so quiet.’ ”
“I was like where is everybody, what’s going on? And it just sort of dawned on me.”
According to Richards, the timing of Umansky’s move could have been considered strategic in some ways, and respectful in others.

“I had been away and he did this while I was out of town, which is the smart thing to do. I had said I didn’t want to be there to see that. So it was just strange. And it’s like wow, it’s gonna be like this sometimes,” she said during the podcast.
“It’s an adjustment for sure,” the Bravo star said, noting that she and Umansky were married for 28 years.
“For me, it was my biggest accomplishment. I came from a home that was broken. My mom was married many times. So I was very proud of my marriage and the family we built. It was hard for me to finally get to a place where I could say this is a success no matter what,” Richards said of her time with the real estate mogul.
