Kyle Richards Thinks Nicky Hilton's Pregnancy Will Make the Family Closer

No surprise here, but The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards is certainly looking forward to the joy that her niece Nicky Hilton's baby will soon bring to their family. “Don’t babies always [bring families closer]? I think so,” she told Page Six. “I’m so excited because she’s the first one of all the kids [to have a baby]. We have 12 kids between us — Kathy [Hilton], Kim [Richards], and I — and she’s the first one so it’s really exciting.”

This is the first child for Nicky and her husband James Rothschild, whom she married last July in London. “I hope this baby has [Nicky’s] eyes because her eyes are the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen,” Kyle added.

Kyle and her sisters have certainly had their ups and downs through the years, but the RHOBH mom insists that issues she had with Kathy have subsided since last summer. “We go through things, but we’re fine and we love each other," she explained. Kyle also offered an update on her relationship with Kim, and confirmed that she's “happy, healthy, strong and sober" after recently moving into a new home. “We’re doing really great. We didn’t talk for a long time and then she hurt her foot really badly — someone opened it on her with a bathroom door sometime around August. That kind of prompted me to call," Kyle said. "I just felt so bad for her. She’s tortured lying with her foot up like this and she had such a hard year so it [started] the talking little by little.”
