Looking Back On Kim Richards' Relationship With Ken Blumenfeld On RHOBH

Through the years, Kim Richards from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has had an extensive dating history, but no one she's been with has stood out like her ex, Ken Blumenfeld. Kim was a fan favorite while appearing on the hit Bravo series, but she soon left the show following RHOBH season 5. Kim's dating life has been out of the public eye since appearing full-time on the show and possibly rethinking her past dating decisions.

Back in 2011, RHOBH viewers learned that the former child actress had been dating Ken for over a year. Sadly, Ken was not a stand-up guy, and Kim was living with addiction issues. Kim revealed her relationship once she decided to move in with him; however, she entered the Betty Ford Rehab Center soon after their breakup. Ken was featured on RHOBH during the very early seasons. Kyle didn't like him and believed her sister was dating him because the relationship was convenient. Kim has been well since RHOBH season 5 and has clearly moved on.

Ken Was Arrested For A DUI

It wasn't a surprise that Ken was controlling Kim on RHOBH. It was revealed, after a fight that Ken chased Kim down while she was at a friend's house to convince her to go back to their Westlake home. In 2009, it was also confirmed that Ken had been arrested for driving under the influence (via The Daily Mail).

This concerned Kim's relatives, as she was living with alcohol addiction. In the article, Kim, at the time, was in love with Ken and thought he truly cared about her. She thought he was doing this for love, but he only wanted to be in control. The article even said Ken was still active on the dating site Match.com while they were together in 2011.

It was then confirmed that Ken might have been two-timing Kim when it was revealed he was still active on his dating profiles. Even though Kim didn't acknowledge that there was an issue with her sister, Kyle was terrified for her safety. Ken's controlling and aggressive behavior put everyone in danger. When Kim and Ken finally broke up, Kyle couldn't help but feel relieved.

After her relationship with Ken, Kim dated businessman Wynn Katz from 2012 to 2018. The two even appeared on the reality series Marriage Boot Camp together. However, as for her dating life in 2024, Kim has been mum on her dating life and her current relationship status.

Kim's Dating Life Is Underwraps

After Kim's split with Wynn in 2018, none of her relationships have been made public, if she was in any. Kim was very upset after the death of her ex-husband, Monty Brinson, who passed away in 2016 after a battle with cancer. RHOBH showed how much Kim cared for Monthy despite no longer being together and was devastated when he passed away. Even though Kim was in a relationship at the time, her closeness to Monty never faltered. His death could have affected her want to start dating again after her relationship with Wynn ended.

Besides her dating life, Kim has mainly stayed out of the public eye. She made a brief appearance on RHOBH season 13 alongside her sister Kim, but the pair didn't discuss Kim's relationship status. Kyle was going through martial issues with her now estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky. With RHOBH season 14 now underway, it's possible Kim will return as a guest and maybe give viewers an update on her dating situation.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum has been through a lot in her life, especially in the last 13 years when the show began. Kim has dated some terrible men like Ken, grieved the death of her ex-husband and best friend Monty, and has dealt with and overcame her alcohol addiction. Despite her downs, Kim did have many ups. She's been enjoying being a grandmother and is happily working on herself. Kim is content to live her life in the background, away from the drama of her former romances.
