Kim Richards Celebrates Her Birthday With Ex-Husband Monty Brinson -- What's Really Going On Between These Two?

Kim Richards and Monty Brinson might be the friendliest “exes” ever.
On September 21, two days after Kim’s 51st birthday, she celebrated the milestone with her kids, little sis’ Kyle Richards, and her BFF/ex-husband Monty.

While Richards and Brinson broke up eons ago, they remained close in order to co-parent their now married daughter, Brooke Brinson. Not to mention that Mont is battling cancer and at one point lived with the troubled reality star while he recuperated from hospital visits.
To commemorate the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills special day, she posted a cute pic of the pair (above) and captioned it:

“Having you here Monty ├ó┬¥┬ñ├»┬╕┬Å is the best gift of all….├░┼╕Γäó┬Å├░┼╕┬Å┬╗ I love you so much @montybrinson.”

Aw! We bet Kim appreciated the public support from Brinson after she was arrested for shoplifting toys at Target this past summer. As for K.R.’s recent attempts to get Xanax from smoke shops, the ex has remained silent on the scandalous allegations.
Despite the pair’s confusing history, Monty also took the opportunity to post an homage to their relationship with a sweet throwback photo of himself and Kim. Check it out (below)!

Wishing @kimrichards11 a beautiful birthday today, with all your wishes for today and the future come through. It’s been a rough year for you my friend but I’m so proud of you how far you have come through this journey. I see all this brightness and happiness in your life ahead of you. You know in your heart I will always be there for you whether I’m here or some place far away. Besides today being your bday you should treat yourself each day as it was your bday. This world is a better place with you in it. Someone sent me this pic, so instead of putting up a current picture I put this one up as life was simpler. As usual I’m glad I was glad to be the first person at midnight to wish you and give you a kiss as friend a happy birthday last night. It’s your life and live it to the fullest with brightness and happiness. Always love your friend Monty see you tomorrow night to celebrate your life. #birthday #rhobh #love #family #friend #blessed #thankful #thought #tv #futureA photo posted by Monty Brinson (@montybrinson) on Sep 19, 2015 at 5:54pm PDT

Cute!
We think it’s safe to say, however, that these two are JUST friends. Can you count how many times Monty used the word, “FRIEND” in his message?
Hopefully Kim gets the picture, too — unrequited love is not good for someone struggling to stay sober!
