Kyle Richards Celebrated by Friends Including Teddi Mellencamp on 55th Birthday: ‘Basically Saved My Life’

It’s one more time around the sun for Kyle Richards. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star turned 55 and was celebrated by friends and family on her birthday in touching social media tributes.

From her daughter to her sister, castmates, and friends, Kyle certainly felt the love on the heels of what can only be labeled a challenging year at best. One of her besties, Teddi Mellencamp, went as far as crediting Kyle as saving her life.

Here’s what she, and others, had to say on the big day.

Birthday greetings for Kyle Richards

Teddi wasn’t afraid to get real in her birthday post. She made sure that Kyle knew how special she was and how she felt about her, sharing a montage of photos and videos of their best times together.

“Sometimes things just stick. Like a friendship. Or the nickname Keeks,” she wrote. “Nobody can make me laugh more. Nobody can imitate my walk better, and probably, most importantly, nobody who has basically saved my life like Kyle.”

She finished her message by saying, “All the diamonds in the world aren’t worth what our friendship is.”

Kyle’s oldest sister, Kathy Hilton, also shared her love for her sibling in a fun photo with a caption that read, “Happy Birthday, mo love. May this be your best year yet!!!! I love you,” alongside a bunch of emojis. A greeting to which Kyle replied that she loved her too and joked, asking why she was up so early.

Kyle’s daughter Alexia added her own well wishes on her Instagram Stories. There, she called Kyle a queen and said happy birthday to her “beautiful mom.” She continued: “I love you soooo much! I love doing life with you. You make everything so fun and so exciting.”

And despite the ongoing separation, husband Mauricio Umansky also made sure to pay tribute. He posted a fun video of her jamming out to Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson at a party in Los Angeles. 

Here’s hoping that Kyle enjoyed her special day and is at the start of a better 2024, as last year was exceptionally challenging. With her marital issues, as well as rumors of infidelity, it’s been tough. Add to that, viewers watching the cracks form on screen. Whew. A real rollercoaster ride.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
