Kyle Richards has not met niece Paris Hilton’s baby amid family drama

Reality TV

Tensions among Beverly Hills’ royal family are still quite high.

Kyle Richards just revealed that she has not met her niece Paris Hilton’s baby boy, Phoenix, amid ongoing drama with the heiress’ mother, Kathy Hilton.

“I’ve not met him yet,” the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 54, told Access Hollywood at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party Sunday night.

“I’ve only seen pictures, and he’s beautiful,” she added of the 2-month-old, making sure to note that she sent the infant a present.

“I got a gift from Tiffany’s. I did a fork and spoon and a little thing [where you keep] baby teeth when they come out,” the Bravolebrity explained. “Just more classic. He’s gonna have everything in the world, so what do you get?”

Despite their ongoing feud, Richards and big sis Kathy, 64, still managed to sport smiles as they posed for a picture together inside the event.

But Paris, 42, notably left her aunt out of her recent International Women’s Day tribute, which included Richards’ eldest daughter, Farrah Aldjufrie.

Kyle, Kathy and their sister, Kim Richards — all of whom have been on “RHOBH” — have had many ups and downs over the years.

In fact, Kyle told Page Six last month that she had not spoken to Kathy since they filmed the explosive Season 12 reunion, which aired in October 2022.

“I haven’t seen her in a while,” the “Halloween” franchise star lamented. “Things are not great.”

Season 12 was a difficult one for fan-favorite “friend of” Kathy, whom Lisa Rinna claimed had an off-camera “psychotic break” that included disparaging remarks about Kyle and her family.

Though Kathy vehemently denied Rinna’s account of the night in question, Kyle was still hurt.

On the contrary, Kathy felt Kyle did not have her back against Rinna and Erika Jayne, who accused the socialite of using a gay slur during her meltdown.

Kathy, for her part, insisted that she would never use that kind of language.

As for how Season 13 is going, Kyle had a different update than co-star Garcelle Beauvais, who told Page Six on Friday that the ladies are “all reconnecting and having fun so far.”

Kyle told Access that although she and her castmates “always want to have fun and bring the glamor,” she noted that there’s “inevitably always going to be drama.”

With a nervous giggle, she added that it’s “already started.”

Asked about their recent trip to Sin City, the mother of four explained, “It always seems like a great idea for the ‘Housewives’ to go to [Las] Vegas. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?”

“Of course there was drama,” she admitted, “right out of the gate.”

The 48-hour getaway was apparently so taxing that it took Kyle two nap-filled days to recover.
