Despite their contentious separation, in a recent interview, Kyle expressed her undying love for the father of her children.

"I feel happy, but I'm also still struggling because it's all new to me. I've been married my whole life," the Bravo star explained. "We still live in the same house and we spent [the holidays] together. I have no idea how long we'll be like that, but we are trying to be as normal as possible in a very un-normal situation."

"We love each other. We go to therapy. We both want to see each other happy. I don't know what the future looks like. That's the hardest part because the unknown is scary," she noted.

"I can handle a lot more than I ever imagined and am stronger than I realized," Kyle stated. "Negativity and any stress and pain I've been holding on to. I want things to be a little more quiet and I want to go into 2024 happy and at peace."
