Kyle Richards has Teddi Mellencamp's back.

Nearly two weeks after The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum filed for divorce from husband Edwin Arroyave after 13 years of marriage, the Halloween Ends actress weighed in on her BFF's split.

"Obviously I wasn't surprised because I I speak to her every day," Kyle told E! News in an exclusive interview. "I'm sad. I see two people that I know once really loved each other very much—and I'm sure still do—and have this beautiful family and you see them go through something like this. I feel like we're just getting way too comfortable seeing this now in our group."

Having gone through her own breakup last year with Mauricio Umansky, Kyle has already been a shoulder for Teddi to cry on.

"Unfortunately, we've had an education in this," she noted, "so I can help guide her a little bit should she need it."

As for how Teddi is doing during this trying time?

"It's difficult no matter what, but she is a strong girl," Kyle expressed of the Two T's in a Pod podcast host, who shares children Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4, with her ex. "It's hard when you have kids no matter what their age is."

"I've learned that through my situation too," she continued, "yes, it's hard when they're little, but you can easily hide things from them too. And when they're older, it's a whole other different set of problems, having their fantasy life ripped out from under their feet."

Teddi first announced her and Edwin's split Nov. 2 in an emotional Instagram post.

"After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce," she wrote. "My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter."

The 43-year-old added, "Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward."

As for Kyle's new normal, see how she and Mauricio are adjusting when The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills returns Nov. 19 at 8 p.m. on Bravo.
