Teddi, who is battling stage 4 brain cancer, shared that she’s feeling better.
"I see it as a miracle,” she said. "I feel so beyond grateful that I'm feeling better and that I'm able to be there more for my kids and my family. I have such amazing friends and support system that's really gotten me through, and so I'm just, I'm grateful.”
She shared a message to anyone out there going through health challenges, saying, “There's going to be good days and there's bad days. And you're not alone… And I think the only other message that I can definitely say is go get your checks because knowledge is key."
Kyle also shared how "incredibly grateful" she feels that Teddi's treatment is working, as Teddi noted, "I think I'm in the 1 percent."
She stressed how much having a support system helps, saying, "When you have those days when you're feeling down, to be able to reach out to those people and say, 'I'm feeling down today,' and we'll go over and pick her up and drag her out to go on a walk or go for frozen yogurt."
When asked about her love life, Kyle said she feels lucky to be going through an "amicable separation” with ex Mauricio Umansky.
“At the end of the day, I'm very grateful that, you know, we are family and we're able to maintain that. So, that's where my love stands right now. Just being grateful for that.”
When asked if she’s happy, she confirmed, "I am happy.”
As for “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Kyle said, "I have my moments with some of the cast this season. It was not like last season, thank God, because I really, I wasn't in the place to endure that.”
Richards added, "I was definitely in better place this season, and I think that the women were in a different place, too."
