AceShowbiz - Rachel Zoe’s youngest son recently shared his perspective on life following her separation from Rodger Berman. During the March 5 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the fashion icon, 54, sat down with her sons, Skyler, 14, and Kaius, 12, to discuss how things have changed over the past year.

Rachel asked her sons, “How does it feel in general? Like, over the last year? Do you feel like this is better than before? Worse than before? Different than before?” Skyler responded by saying it was “same but different,” while Kaius elaborated, explaining, “He wasn’t really here a lot anyway, but now, he’s just completely gone. There’s not really a trace of him.”

This candid family moment gave fans a glimpse into the aftermath of Rachel’s decision to end her marriage to Rodger Berman. The show has been revealing more about the reasons behind their split, with Rachel reflecting on the final moments of their 26-year marriage during a February 26 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The conversation coincided with the one-year anniversary of a pivotal event in their relationship.

Rachel also inquired if the “energy” in the household felt different without Rodger. Kaius replied, “Yeah, it feels a bit more peaceful.” This sentiment highlights the relief the family seems to be experiencing now that the separation is official.

In her confessional, Rachel opened up about her talks with Kaius regarding their family dynamics. She expressed, “Sadly, Kaius has said that he was mad at me for letting me be treated the way that I was, because that means I’m not modeling well for what they think love and marriage and relationships should look like or feel like.” She added that this also affected “how they should talk to someone they love.”

The couple’s separation was publicly announced in September 2024 after 26 years of marriage, and Rachel officially filed for divorce in July 2025. The moment she filed was featured on an episode in January, giving viewers an intimate look at this difficult chapter. Since the boys were away at camp when the news broke, Rachel made sure to sit down with them afterward to explain the situation openly.

“I just want to let you know that we are—you may have already assumed this—but we are moving forward in getting divorced,” Rachel told her sons, emphasizing her desire for transparency and an open dialogue during this transition.

Rachel also addressed a delicate issue regarding Rodger introducing his girlfriend to the boys just before they left for camp, a storyline that surfaced earlier in the season. Rachel admitted, “I did not know about that because I, obviously, would not have allowed that, so I want to understand what actually happened.”

Kaius explained that Rodger had introduced the woman as his “friend,” although he understood she was more than that. Meanwhile, Skyler said he “didn’t really care enough” about the encounter, suggesting a level of emotional detachment from the situation.

In her confessional, Rachel revealed that the boys “don’t want to know her,” referring to Rodger’s girlfriend, nor do they “want to be around her.” She assured them that if the woman is ever present while Rodger is caring for them, they “have every right” to leave. This protective stance highlights Rachel’s commitment to her sons’ emotional well-being.

Reflecting on the family’s future, Rachel shared her belief that “kids are better off having two parents that love them separately than two that fight all day and live miserably.” She described ongoing conflict as “bad all around,” underscoring her focus on creating a healthier environment for her children.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET and is available for streaming the next day on Peacock, continuing to document the evolving lives of Rachel and her family as they navigate this significant change.
