Ben Stiller is a fan of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, much like Us.
“I’m happy to see Dorit [Kemsley] and Kyle [Richards] finally connecting over their shared struggles,” Stiller, 59, shared via X on Thursday, February 20.
After facing earlier tension, Kemsley, 48, and Richards, 56, chose to set aside their issues and rebuild their friendship during the February 18 episode of the Bravo show. They also confided in one another regarding their recent separations. (Dorit and PK Kemsley revealed their split in May 2024, while Us confirmed in October 2023 that Richards and Mauricio Umansky have separated after 27 years of marriage.)
“It feels nostalgic. We’re supporting each other. I really missed this,” Dorit shared in a confessional about her renewed friendship with Richards.
Although stars of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit Kemsley and Kyle Richards have not reconciled their friendship, despite both going through significant breakups. “I felt quite abandoned by Kyle,” Dorit, 48, revealed exclusively to Us Weekly. “There were many unspoken issues left over from the reunion that I was grappling with because […]
As for Stiller, he experienced a brief separation from his spouse Christine Taylor in 2017, but they reunited during the Covid pandemic. (Stiller and Taylor, 53, are parents to daughter Ella, 22, and son Quinlin, 19.)
“I believe we both wanted it,” Stiller stated regarding his reunion with Taylor during a January episode of The View. “In a long-term relationship — we’ve been married for 25 years — it requires effort. Covid put us all together under one roof with our family. I’m thankful. I’m truly grateful we are together again.”
While he acknowledged that not every couple should resume their past relationships as it may not be suitable, Stiller affirmed that for him and Taylor, “it was meant to be.” He added, “Now, every single day we’re together is something we cherish. I know I certainly do because it could disappear at any moment. That realization is a profound gift in our relationship. I’m really grateful we’re back together.”
Dorit and Richards are facing similar challenges, and in November 2024, Dorit exclusively told Us that she thought these challenges would ultimately strengthen their bond. However, she expressed that things “reached a point where it became rather odd.”
“It felt more intimate than just her experiences; it was personal,” Dorit remarked. “I felt somewhat excluded and no longer in her close circle, despite having been a part of it before, and I’m unsure what caused the shift as she didn’t share it with me.”
Regarding their separations, Dorit mentioned that Richards is slightly “further along” in the process. “She’s been dealing with her issues for a while, and it’s always tough,” Dorit added. “I wish I could have been there for her from the get-go. I was there and I am, genuinely. Nevertheless, in a true friendship, it’s important to feel reciprocated in what you’re bringing to the table.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET and streams the following day on Peacock.
