REPORT: Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s Separation Turns Ugly

RHOBH's Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky

A new report claims that the separation between Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky has turned petty.

It looks like Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s separation has turned from civil to contenious in the blink of an eye.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have been publicly separated since September but word on the street the two have been privately separated since at least the begining of 2023 if not earlier.

For the most part the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have remained friendly for the sake of the four daughters: Farrah, 35, Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. The two have also kept things pleasant because they continue to live together in their sprawling $8 million Encino estate albiet in separate bedrooms.

During a December interview with The Messenger, the RHOBH OG pulled back the curtain on her “awkward” living situation with her estranged husband.

“We’re fortunate enough that my home can fit us all to spread out,” the RHOBH star explained. “And I’m also very fortunate that we get along and care about each other very much and that we are a family no matter what.”

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s heated argument played out on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

The 54-year-old notes that she and Mauricio prioritize spending time together as a family with their four daughters.

“That’s always been what we stand for. That has not changed, and obviously, some days are not as great as others,” she said at the time. “Some days it’s like, ‘Oh, it’s a little awkward today.’ And other days, it’s like nothing ever happened, and we’re just all watching TV as a family.”

Because of this it wasn’t surpring to learn that Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky spent the holiday season together with their daughters at their home Aspen, Colorado.

While the RHOBH couple are trying their best to remain amicable, OK! Magazine reports that the Buying Beverly Hills star’s recent behavior has been rubbing Kyle the wrong way.

According to an insider, Kyle and Mauricio “agreed to spend the holidays together in Colorado” for the sake of their daughters but the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG was suprised to see photos of her husband partying with several much younger women in Aspen.

Not only was the 52-year-old founder of The Agency spotted with 31-year-old influencer Alexandra Wolfe, he was also seen partying with social media star Lele Pons, 27, and singer Anitta, 30.

“Kyle and Mauricio are allowing each other to do what they want, provided they don’t do anything embarrassing,” an insider spilled. “Mauricio has clearly touched a nerve.”

Meanwhile, Kyle Richards is rumored to be dating country singer, Morgan Wade. Although both women have denied that they are anything more than friends.

The insider hinted that Mauricio and Kyle’s $100 million fortune is the main reason they have yet to file for divorce. In fact, the source noted that they don’t have any intention of officially divorcing at this time.

“There’s no denying they push each other’s buttons,” the insider said. “But they’re going to continue to look the other way — or try to.”

Speaking of looking the other way, Kyle recently admitted to Us Weekly that she doesn’t know how long she and Mauricio can remain “normal” amid their separation.

Kyle admitted that she’s “happy” being single but it still “struggling” to find her footing amid her new normal.

“In a lot of ways, I feel happy. But I’m also still struggling because it’s all new to me. I’ve been married my whole life,” Kyle said.

“We still live in the same house and we spent [the holidays] together. I have no idea how long we’ll be like that, but we are trying to be as normal as possible in a very un-normal situation,” she explained before revealing that she and Mauricio were both attending therapy.

 “We both want to see each other happy,” the Bravolebrity confessed. “I don’t know what the future looks like. That’s the hardest part because the unknown is scary.” 

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

I don't believe any of this. Period.

Taking bets on which fake, drama filled bowl of BS gets cancelled first, RHBH or the Umansky union. Staying together for the kids is never a good idea besides all but one are grown and should be living on their own.

I didn't buy the Umanski breakup at first, but now as the season progresses, I think they are indeed dunzo. My guess is Kyle will do two more seasons (to get to that sweet 15 season place and to promote Morgan's career), and then probably hightail it outta Dodge. However, I imagine she will keep a small place in L.A. to stay close to the family and/or to remain on the show.

This is old news.

Kyle: "We are a family no matter what" ? (Whatta crock of ?). The daughters are all grown, and Portia (looks like she) is 16 going on 30 these days. Divorce his stoned ass, cash your $50M+ check, and buy a farm in Montana with Morgan.

She’s just gonna resent him more and more as he lets his manwhore flag fly more and more freely otherwise. I think the poor dear is under the delusion that Mo’s manwhore flag was in any way, shape or form hidden from the general public. (Yeah, no.) But, love Kyle or hate her, a man Ho is just gonna Ho. That’s just how that cookie crumbles. You’d think that Kyle would just finally accept this after decades of sleeping on cookie crumbs, but the human ego is a strange thing, so here we are…?

Maybe she was sticking around to help build The Agency (which she knew she would eventually own half of). Whether it's just a publicity stunt or not, it's highly unlikely to me that @sswipe Cohen would not be repeatedly referring to Kyle as "divorcing" and insinuating that she's "dating Morgan" if it weren't true. Although I'm still not ruling out that Kyle is getting to Mo' (and his sexual prowess) the best way she can ... another woman is something no heterosexual man can compete with.

What’s really hilarious to me is that the whole matter just isn’t as big of a deal as they ALL desperately WANT it to be. The collective THIRST is like Sahara Desert levels! ? It’s almost too cringeworthy to bear…almost ? It kinda reminds me of when Kim Z. was a lesbian for a hot minute. Remember that? Yeah, probably not cuz it wasn’t interesting enough to remember (except I did ?). Anyway, the best they’re gonna get out of all this is one big MEH in the end.

So true, case in point: There Garcelle sits there proclaiming that she is down with having dinner at the Y (again), Kunty openly "confessing" to past mé·nage à trois (but with a penis present - like that makes a difference). Meanwhile we have Brandi telling the world shes slept on Denise fcking Richards' clit, and can't leave out past cast members, Taylor Armstrong, Carlton Gebbia, and probably John Mellencamp's daughter.

Yep. Kyle SO wanted her Paris Hilton ‘I can’t go ANYWHERE without the paparazzi following me’ moment with headlines galore and online chatter non-stop at her newfound kitty lovin’ ways, and peeps are just like, ‘Meh, whatever.’ ? Then, she tries to throw Mo’s manwhoredom into the mix (SEE?! IT’S INTERESTING!!!! SPICY EVEN!!! IT IS, DAMMIT!!!! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!!) and peeps are like, ‘Yeah, Mo’s a Ho and water is wet. Oh, and you like cats now. Meh, whatever.’ ? Kyle is not having it! She’s hellbent on making us care and the more she tries the less we do. Poor thing. Bless her heart. ?

I hate to sound avaricious, but the Umanskis are enjoying ENORMOUS $ucce$$ (even by CA standards), and with that comes a lot of pressure and time apart ... and with that comes a LOT of opportunity. Factor in some self-indulgence, empty nest syndrome, and midlife crises/panic over getting older, and the odds of remaining committed were very low. Also, I think it's been a long time coming, which is why their separation has been so seemingly amicable. I suspect it came to a head when Kyle unexpectedly started putting herself first, and met Morgan.

I’m not familiar w/ CA divorce law but, he has I think two founding partners in the Agency. Hopefully, they put their company in an airtight LLC or the comparable keeping angry X housewives from touching the company money pile.
Snarky Enigma January 15, 2024 - 6:59 pm
I dunno if she will get a stake in the billion dollar Agency, but he is founder and CEO, and arguably, HER show is responsible for its success. But regardless of that, he/they have a personal wealth north of $100M, and under CA law, the spouse gets half ... especially if monkey business is at play. What I've always wondered, is does Bravo/NBC get a piece of The Agency, or were the Umanskis smart enough to put the "Bethenny Clause" in Kyle's contract.

a quick DDG check shows Billy Rose is the co-founder of the Agency, he's a real estate attorney, hopefully he knows enough about the law not to leave a loop for Bravo or Kyle. The Umanskys have more than enough personal assets for Morgan and Kyle to sing happy trails and build their new nest. Kyle stated in last weeks episode she wants to leave LA as soon as Portia is out of school. Can't say I blame her, hope it's not too late.

She openly dates and films soft porn sex videos with her lover, and she is upset he is seen with other women? Got over it, Kyle. He is on his own -- even if he does spend Christmas morning with his children (and with you as a second thought).

This is old news. The same old news over and over and over thanks to Kyle's insatiable need for attention! Still not separated physically or legally, let alone divorcing. Kyle has been dating one person for two years. Photos of Mauricio openly dating multiple women have been provided to tabloids for months.

Can someone tell her how silly she looks in her cowboy hat every time she steps foot in Colorado??!! ?

He'd still be with her if he hadn't got his own show. He doesn't need her fame anymore, he has his own. They have so much money they don't have to rely on each other for that any longer either. If their youngest had been a boy he might have stuck around so he could take him to sports and be the boy dad. But that would only have lasted another three years or so. They're finished.
