“It’s going to be like it was
before we had kids,” Rinna
says of being home alone
with Hamlin (with their kids
in 2017). “Luckily we like
each other a great deal.”
h my God, we’re going to be empty
nesters!” For Lisa Rinna, the reality
of the next few weeks is just starting
to set in. The Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills star, 56, and husband Harry
Hamlin, 67, watched their older daughter,
Delilah, 21, move to New York City for college in
- Now 18-year-old Amelia is headed there
for her freshman year to study nutrition and
psychology while also pursuing her
modeling career. “This feels equally as
difficult,” Rinna says. “I feel really sad
but really proud. I try to focus on
the positive of how great this time
is for them.” Amelia will have
support from her big sister, a fellow
model. “Amelia learns a lot from
being the younger child,” Rinna
says. “She’s watched her older sibling
and saw what worked and what didn’t.”
Still, Rinna has important advice for
Amelia as she prepares to live with a room-
mate: “No dirty dishes in the sink!”
