“I always root for people to work it out. But I feel like at the end of the day, whatever’s going to make them both happy is what I support.”

Page Six confirmed on July 3 that the fan-favorite couple, who tied the knot in January 1996, decided to separate after 27 years of marriage.
The couple admitted to a “challenging” year in a joint Instagram statement, writing, “We both love and respect each other tremendously. … There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
The news came as a shock to fans and celebs alike, including Bailey.
“I’m the kind of person, when people are going through things, I kind of try to respect their space,” she told the outlet. “And when I see [Kyle] it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m here for you, whenever you need me.’”
No matter the outcome, Bailey said that Richards is “going to be fine.”
Shortly after news of their separation came to light, Richards and Umansky released a joint statement clarifying that any reports of them “divorcing are untrue.”
“However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage,” the couple added.
