Kyle and Mauricio. So I did a post because people were starting to compare their alleged split to scandaval, which I don't know that much about either, but that's ridiculous. They have been together for decades. I was very good friends with Kyle when we met Mauricio Mo. He's Maurice Mauricio or Mo. But he was working in the garment industry for in his father's business. I believe it was. He was working in the garment industry in La. I've met his mother. I know both their families very well.
And Kyle was raising Farah, a four year old. I was a hostess at Lascala. It was so many lifetimes ago. I was at her wedding. She was at my first wedding. They have grown up together. What do you know about life when you're twenty six years old. I mean they are maybe twenty five years old. They have grown up together. And he then went into real estate working for Rick, and then went off on his own and the rest is history. And they both built each other's careers and
support each other. Farah was a four year old, and he was a young man who took in Pharaoh like his own daughter. I actually most people don't know this. Kyle set me up with her ex husband Gresh on a date, so I met him a couple of times. Nice guy, and Farah's father and all Mauricio's friends from Mexico City like to kind of start just crystallizing their relationship or potential parting of ways as headline fodder is ridiculous.
They have lived lives together, They'll have their lives together, half of their lives together, raising four gorgeous daughters, traveling all over the world, having a great time, being fun, being amazing, Surviving LA, surviving the entertainment industry, not only surviving,
but thriving. Surviving and thriving the entertainment industry. LA and Marriage and Marriage on not only a reality show, but the housewives Like that's a relationship destroyer, and people are showing some dumb clip from seasons ago saying that she won't be able to fulfill him or he won't be able to fulfill her. It's bullshit. Who lasts multiple decades? They've been together almost thirty years. Who lasts thirty years
in a relationship. It is an accomplishment. It is something to be celebrated, to be cherished, to be respected, to be admired, honestly, so I was like, shit, the fuck up with all this stupid shit? Okay, who can? By the way, I've texted with her, and I had a conversation with her and asked been a couple of months ago, and I have my own feelings about their relationship and the little breadcrumbs and clues she was leaving me when
we were talking. Likewise, I talked to her about my relationship, my past relationships, my divorce, etc. We don't speak all the time. I respect them both. I think they have been an amazing, admirable couple, and whatever they both choose
to do together or apart is genuinely their business. Like life has many different roads, many different paths, many different branches of the tree, and they have been wonderful parents, wonderful partners, and I just think it's something to celebrate, and particularly in twenty twenty three, but particularly after thirty years.
One size does not fit all in relationships. Think of the people that you know that have been together for twenty years, thirty years, forty years, right, Think about their relationships, Think about how they are. People have their own lives, people travel differently. You only get one go around on this merry go round, like you want to live your own life. So Maurice has things that he probably wants
to do in his life. That Literally, when you get into a relationship, you become a little bit of the other person and you become a little codependent. And then you have kids, and then it's about the kids, and a lot of the conversations and a lot of the decisions, and a lot of the traveling is about the kids. And sometimes you lose yourself in a relationship. You don't even know who you are anymore. You don't know where the other person starts and where and finishes and where
you begin. And I see couples they travel differently. They get to a point where they want to do what they want to do. They respect the other person, they admire the other person. I live in a different state than Paul. Okay, we have things that we do together. I have things that I do with Brinn. We have things that we all do together. But it's not traditional.
It's not traditional. And we all start out in our twenties thinking we want everything to be wrapped up in a bow and to be traditional, and it may not be realistic. It's this construct that's been invented for us. That starts with the children's books, with the fairy tale books, that then goes into shows like The Bachelor, where you're flying off in a gazebo in Greece and then moving into a one bedroom apartment together, and a lot of that doesn't work. It's fucking not real. And people look
up to these ideals. Oh A Rod and j Lo it's perfect. They're blending, they're both you know, uh, she's a Latina, so it works perfect for a Rod And they're merging their businesses together and it's amazing and let's go on this ride. And their crashes and burns, and we all feel let down because we looked up to it as perfection because they present it perfection because that's what people do, you know, Like, that's what hell. Kanye and Kim amazing, the sum is greater than its parts.
He made her more famous, she made him more famous. It's fabus. It's amazing, she's his muse. It's a crash and burn. So you watch these two and they're a success story. They've been on television for multiple decades, off television for a long time, and they haven't been on television for multiple decades, but and off television there success. So, however, they are living their lives individually and together is their goddamn business, and it seems to be working for them,
with the exception of the paparazzi. And she has a new friend. Okay, great, live your fucking life. Live your life. As I texted her, you're not gonna remember any of this when you're ninety. You're not gonna remember any of this when you're ninety. Okay. Who could just live your life, be happy and that's it. So I'm full team Kyle
and Mauricio. However, they want to live their lives together and or apart, and it's a long road, but you get one shot and then them said it best, So live your life the way you want to live it. Shout out to Housewives couples that have stayed together that
are still together. Okay, Tamra and Eddie, they've been together a minute now on television, Like there's something to be said for couples that have stayed together where both parties are on the Housewives, like Tamra and Eddie are Bonnie and Clyde in it like in the actual sport that's when it gets interesting, when it's like both people are characters. Candy and her husband met and he was a producer.
He jumped right into being in front of the camera, and they've got businesses and like that they're still together. That's an accomplishment, I think when you've stayed together. Slade and Gretchen. Now I know she's not still on the show, but they were on the show for a long time, and it's remarkable they're still together. Like, I kind of love it. I'm shouting out Tamra and Eddie, Slade and Gretchen. I know that Kathy Wakuiel and her husband would still
be together if they were on television. Listen Joe, you guys didn't even write me. Listen to Joe Mellisten. Joe still going strong, Still the one, Shania Twain. I'm liking it. Crappy Lake. I think I will watch it. I haven't watched it. I don't turn on regular TV that much. Is that crazy? Does anybody else not watch regular TV that much? I watch streaming and I'm in Meshedon masl and also in finishing Handmaids, and I like when things get dragged out so I can savor them. What the hell.
Paul and I are watching something too. I've talked about this before, like you've got so many people you're watching shows with, But I know, I'm so happy for Sonya because her show Crappy Lake came out and I'm hearing good things and it's funny and it's so such perfect timing for like silly comedy. So I think that is great for her, and I texted her the other day, let me know what you think and if you've seen it,
