Simon, who shares three kids with — son Spencer, 19, and daughters Sophia, 14, and Sidney, 21 — last month.

Fans hoped this difficult news would at least bring Sidney and her mom back together, with one asking Tamra just that on Friday when she posted a photo with only Sophia.

The user commented: “Since the news of Simon does your other daughter talk to you?”

Tamra shared, along with a heart emoji: “We have all reunited.”

The mother-daughter duo have been in a bad place since Sidney chose to live with her dad in 2014 and cut off all contact with her mom.

Tamra claimed a therapist explained to her that her daughter was suffering “parental alienation” and rejecting her, while Sidney claimed her mom was “abusive and neglectful” before she moved out.

When Sidney went off to college in 2017, the reality star mom said things were still “pretty tough” between them but she hadn’t “lost hope”

It seems the two have put their differences aside in order to all be together for Simon.

To give more time to him, as well as her current husband Eddie Judge, who’s been battling heart complications, she announced she’s quitting her Bravo reality show.

She explained to : “It made me reevaluate my life. Simon had told me about his health back in November and I was completely destroyed.

“I was a mess! This is the father of my children. Any ill will between the two us just vanished. My first thought was, ‘I don’t want to take my kids to their dad’s funeral.’

“And my second was, ‘I don’t want to go back to the show.’”

She continued: “The reality of it is, after Eddie’s heart condition and now Simon with cancer, it’s just very hard for me to want to go on a show where people are screaming and yelling and arguing about things that don’t even matter.

“They’ve taught me that life is precious, and you don’t get that time back.”

Tamra also has a 34-year-old son, Ryan, with her first husband, Darren Veith.

She divorced Simon in 2011, after 13 years of marriage, and married her third and current husband, Eddie, in June 2013.
