Real housewives Stars Bethenny Frankel and Kyle Richards gave fans a friendship update. On February 19, 2023, the Bravo OGs posed together in Aspen, Colorado, where Richards owns a vacation home.

“Nearly 30 years later, lost parents, marriages, a bevy of girls, reality shows, health issues and a whole lot of life, we still have a lot to talk about (and laugh about).” Frankel took a selfie of the two are wearing black winter clothes. “Also got a good cameo from @farrahbritt who I’ve known since she was a baby. Today was a good day… xoxo.”

Richards commented to reveal that she also got to see Frankel’s daughter during the meeting. “So funny and I got to see Bryn.” wrote the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star.

“OUTSIDE. It’s our happy place!” added Frankel.

Some fans were confused by the photo of the real housewives stars

It’s no surprise that the Real Housewives legends’ photo together sparked a huge reaction.

“Nothing beats amazing friends you’ve known since the days of Aqua Net hairspray and Giorgio perfume!” wrote one commenter.

According to BravoTV.com, Richards once revealed that she originally met Frankel when the future ‘Real Housewives of New York City’ star was working as a waitress in Beverly Hills in the early 1990s. “When I first met Bethenny, she was working at La Scala Boutique, a Beverly Hills restaurant,” Richards revealed on an episode of RHOBH. “She came to my table and said, ‘Hi. I’m dating your ex-boyfriend.’”

Frankel later got a job as a nanny for Richard’s sister, Kathy Hilton.

2015 Frankel said E! News, “I’ve known Kyle for years. I used to work for Kathy Hilton and took Paris and Nicky to school. So I knew her through Kyle, who is a friend of mine.”

More than thirty years later, some fans find the friendship confusing. “It’s SO weird to me that you guys are friends.” A commenter wrote to Frankel on Instagram. “You’re so straight forward, brutally honest and no cops *** politics and then Kyle… flip flops and crying her way through life.”

“I thought she said she wasn’t that close to you on WWHL?” another wrote to Richards.

Kyle Richards & Bethenny Frankel have temporarily stopped following each other on Instagram

Fans have long wondered about the Real Housewives stars’ friendship. In June 2021 Richards appeared to “See What Happens Live” and she revealed that Frankel had stopped following her on social media, so she did the same.

“She unfollowed me,” Richards told host Andy Cohen at the time. “And I thought, ‘Well, why do I want to follow someone who doesn’t follow me?’ A friend. So I just said, ‘You know I don’t have to keep up with her either.’”

“We still talk and write. We text each other,” the RHOBH star added. “I don’t know, she just unfollowed a lot of people.”

In December 2022, explained Frankel Cohen that she doesn’t follow many of her friends – for a very important reason.

“I love Kyle,” she said. “I have a good relationship with Kyle. I don’t actually follow all my friends because I like to meet them in person. There are people I’m not good friends with, and I’m not very methodical about them. …We talk all the time. I’ll get my phone and text her too. There is no real story. I don’t see Kyle that often. We were really good friends.”

After the WWHL episode, Frankel revealed that she was back following Richards on Instagram.
