The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof -- who recently announced that she and husband Dr. Paul Nassif have separated -- exclusively tells Breaking Celebrity News that “it’s very difficult” to end her marriage.

“I have to say, like any marriage this is a time where there’s a bump in the road,” Adrienne shared with us at the launch party for her newest business endeavor, designer iPhone covers OMG Cases, at Kitson, a store on posh Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood, CA.

She admitted that their fame has made the split very painful.

“We’re working on it, it just happens to be on public display. It is very difficult.

Adrienne and Paul are no longer living together, and while she plans to fight him for full custody of their three children, she had no harsh words for her soon-to-be ex.

“It’s been difficult, so I’m looking forward to a positive resolution. The most important thing is I have beautiful healthy kids.”
