“The reality is… we are officially separated, but were not throwing in the towel,” he told ET after this week’s DWTS.

“We’re fighting for this,” Mauricio continued. “We’ve been married for 27 years, 26 amazing years. Kyle is my best friend, she’s an amazing human, I love her… And marriages go through difficult times, sometimes, and that’s what we’re dealing with right now.”

How is the separation affecting their family?

“There’s a lot of pieces of this thing that have actually made the family a little closer… There is a silver lining,” he shared. “My daughters are actually very pleased that we’re having a lot more real, open conversations with the family. They are appreciative of that.”

As for what we’ll see of his and Kyle‘s marriage problems on RHOBH…

“You’re gonna see our relationship kind of leading into the difficult parts of the relationship, there’s no question about all that,” he teased. “But it’s gonna be a really fun, entertaining season for people who like to watch drama — there’s gonna be a lot of drama, that’s for sure.”
