View Story"I'm in a happy place, not the happiest place I've ever been, but I'm doing a lot better. We are doing better," Richards shared before addressing how the couple has been navigating their "new normal."
"We, my husband and I, are still under the same roof with our daughters, just different bedrooms, which feels very strange to share so publicly, but that's another part of doing what we do," she continued. "And, you know, we're good, we don't fight or anything. We've never been a toxic couple."
As for what's next, Richards said she and Umanksy are still figuring it out, telling host Drew Barrymore they will eventually take that "next step," whatever that may be.

"Obviously it's not going to stay like that, it can't stay like that forever and because of my kids' ages, it's not like they're toddlers."
Richards added, "Eventually we'll figure it out and take it to the next step, whichever that step may be, we're still figuring it out."
