In The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the husbands are almost as popular as the main cast. The women are the stars of the show, but sometimes it's entertaining seeing a man's point of view on some of the ladies' issues. More than that, viewers love seeing all aspects of the main casts members' lives, and their husbands are a big part of that.
While the husbands' involvement changes by season, there's usually a funny one-liner thrown in by one of the guys. They join the ladies on group dinner dates, they go on vacations together, and they even make appearances in confessionals and reunions.
"Having Four Daughters, I'm All About Empowering Women." — Mauricio Umansky
When Kyle and Mauricio's daughter Alexia was gearing up for college, the couple took her on a tour of the campus while filming. Kyle told the cameras how important it was to her for her kids to go to college because she never went.
Mauricio also cared immensely for his kids' education. While roaming the campus, he sweetly noted how much he loved that there was a female president at the university, because he had four daughters and it was important to show them female empowerment. His words showed what kind of guy Mauricio is at his core.
"Goodbye, Kyle." — Ken Todd
In the midst of Puppygate, Lisa and Kyle came to a crossroads when the latter wasn't sure what to believe anymore. Lisa and Ken were accused of selling stories to the press and orchestrating something against Dorit, who gave away a dog she adopted from Vanderpump Dogs.
The final blow came when Kyle went to Lisa and Ken's to talk things over, but they wound up in an argument that ended their friendship. As Lisa and Kyle argued, Ken screamed from the background, "Goodbye, Kyle!" The way he said it became an instant meme, so much so that Kyle even mimicked the meme weeks later while outside of SUR, as Showbiz Cheat Sheet reported.
"I'm Really Proud Of You." — Tom Girardi
After years of working on her craft to become a well-known performer, Erika auditioned for Chicago's Roxie Hart and won the part. Performing on Broadway is a big deal for anyone, but Erika was overcome with emotion at the idea of her dreams coming true.
As Erika's lawyer looked over her contract, she sat down with Tom to talk about the deal. Tom wasn't shown often on the show, but when he was, he was typically serious. By contrast, he was incredibly warm and loving in this scene, and he told Erika what she needed to hear — that he was proud of her. His words brought Erika to tears, and Real Housewives fans could feel her emotion.
"You're Not Deliberately Cold. You're Inherently Cold." — PK Kelsey
While Dorit is known for her classic quotes, her husband PK has just as many up his sleeve. He and Dorit are very similar and often defend each other against the ladies. One of the best examples of this came when PK faced off against Erika during Pantygate.
After an entire season of Dorit and PK taking jabs at Erika for not wearing underwear with her white dress one night, things came to a head at a dinner party. Erika and PK finally confronted each other. Erika was very calm and collected while PK was obviously very uncomfortable. While facing Erika, PK said something to her that became an instant fan-favorite quote: "You're not deliberately cold. You're inherently cold."
"I've Always Loved You But Probably Never Deserved You." — Ken Todd
Lisa Vanderpump has one of the longest runs in The Real Housewives franchise, having been on the show for nine seasons. While she was a cast member, her relationship with Ken never faltered. To show off their love for one another, Lisa and Ken held a vow renewal ceremony in front of their closest friends and family.
Lisa and Ken are typically snarky with each other, but their vows and the way they looked at each other were sincere. Ken's vows, in particular, were so romantic that it was hard for viewers not to tear up. While looking at Lisa with warm eyes, he admitted that he always loved her but never deserved her.
"She's The CEO. I'm The Chairman." — PK Kelsey
When PK and Dorit moved into a new house, they were still getting their feet wet, trying to figure out where everything was. Dorit admitted that PK doesn't know where a thing in the house is and sometimes doesn't even know where his underwear is.
In a confessional, a producer asked the couple who "wore the pants in the family." Dorit assumed that she did. Hilariously, PK said, "She's the CEO. I'm the chairman." Dorit rebutted that PK is only the "employee," not the CEO.
"I Couldn't Understand How We Can Split An Atom With Sound And Cause A Nuclear Explosion." — Aaron Phypers
When Denise first joined the group, she was excited to introduce her new husband, Aaron, and hoped that he would get along well with the other men. While Aaron did fit in nicely with everyone at first, their image of him took a strange turn when he talked about what he does for work.
Aaron has his own therapy center called Q 360, which focuses on "frequency therapy," according to Refinery 29. Denise has praised Aaron's work and has said how much progress he makes, but the nature of his work can be an issue because it goes against traditional science. While at dinner one night, Aaron tried explaining his job, but it went way over people's heads. His explanation about atoms and particles became an instant classic.
"There's Not A Lot Of Competition." — Mauricio Umansky
When Kyle and Mauricio were on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a caller rang in to see who Mauricio thought his biggest competition was among the hottest husbands on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It was part of an ongoing conversation about Mauricio being the perfect package and the best-looking husband in the series.
After thinking about the question for a quick second, Mauricio replied dryly, "There's not a lot of competition." The audience, Kyle, and even Andy Cohen laughed hysterically at Mauricio's implication that he's the hottest husband by a landslide.
