Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards recently removed her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky’s last name from her Instagram bio, changing it back to Kyle Richards. The couple, who had been married for 27 years, separated in July 2023. Despite their split, they were still living together in their shared home initially, but Umansky has since moved out into his own condo. While they are no longer living together, they have yet to file for divorce. The reason for not pursuing divorce at the moment is partly due to financial considerations, as Richards has a significant stake in Umansky’s luxury real estate company, The Agency, which is featured on his Netflix series, Buying Beverly Hills.
The breakup between Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky was a major storyline on the most recent season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. In a confessional during the season, Umansky expressed his feelings about the situation, admitting that he felt like Richards was becoming emotionally distant and “checked out.” Despite his efforts to save the marriage by suggesting couples’ counseling, it was clear that Richards may have fallen out of love with him. Umansky was transparent about his emotions, revealing that he was still deeply invested in their relationship and had hoped to stay married to her for the rest of his life. Richards, on the other hand, was more cryptic about the reasons behind their breakup.
The couple’s relationship struggles were further explored in the second season of Buying Beverly Hills, where Umansky shared his perspective on the situation. He expressed feelings of hurt and disappointment upon realizing that Richards may no longer love him in the same way she used to. Despite his willingness to fight for their marriage, it became apparent that their efforts in couples’ counseling did not lead to any resolution. Umansky’s candid reflections on the challenges they faced as a couple highlighted the complexities of their marital issues and the emotional toll it took on both parties. Their decision to live separately while still navigating their relationship dynamics shed light on the complexities of their situation.
As Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky continue to navigate their separation and the future of their relationship, they remain focused on managing their personal and professional lives. The decision to not pursue divorce at this time reflects their mutual understanding of the financial implications and complexities involved in such a process. Despite their romantic relationship being on uncertain ground, they maintain a sense of respect and consideration for each other’s feelings and well-being. The public scrutiny of their breakup on reality television has added another layer of complexity to their private struggles, exposing the vulnerabilities and challenges faced by both parties. Moving forward, the couple will have to navigate their changing dynamic while balancing personal growth and professional commitments.
