Kyle Richards and her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, have been navigating a complex separation for over a year now.
In the December 3, 2024, episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle and Mauricio were seen discussing their living situations post-split. Soon after their marital woes, Umansky moved into a condo of his own.
In the episode, he was seen visiting the house that was once the couple’s marital home. During this visit, the reality TV star made an unexpected revelation to the camera about the possibility of reconciliation, sharing her hope for the future. She explained,
“Mo made the decision to sign a six-month lease. I think for Mo, saying to give it six months made it easy to transition… It also gives us the time to assess where we’re at. You live your life, I live my life and maybe we’ll reconvene in six months or so and see what happens”.
However, Richards soon expressed her doubts about the future of their relationship, given their separate living arrangements. She added,
“He, however, decided to buy all brand new furniture which, of course, is more permanent. I thought, oh, well, this [separation] does not seem very temporary”.
Kyle Feels Lost As She And Mauricio Remain Undivorced After One Year Of Split
After 27 years of marriage, the couple announced their separation in late September 2023. Despite being over a year since their split, neither has filed for divorce.
Reflecting on the emotional toll of an unresolved marriage, the Halloween Ends actress opened up about feeling lost and unsure of her purpose. She candidly shared,
“All of a sudden I’m finding myself not being a wife. I’m not a wife or full-time mom … what am I doing? What do I do?”
Earlier, in an exclusive interview with US Weekly in October 2024, Kyle opened up about her thoughts on no longer living with Umansky under the same roof. She said,
“I don’t know what the future holds right now with Mauricio and me. We love each other. So that part is easy. What’s not easy is figuring out what’s next. We’re not divorced; he doesn’t live here, but we’re still figuring things out”.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky first met each other in a nightclub back in 1994. After two years of dating, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in January 1996, marking Richards’ second marriage. Together, the estranged couple shares three daughters.
