Reality TV star and actress Kyle Richards has finally addressed the rumors surrounding her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, and his romantic involvement with model Klaudia K., who is two decades his junior.
During the February 4, 2025, episode of Bravo’s Hot Mic podcast, Kyle sat down with host Alex Baskin to discuss her current dynamic with Mauricio.
When asked about the family’s Aspen vacation in late December 2024, which the estranged couple attended with their children, Kyle cryptically addressed her ex’s PDA-filled outings with the model, captured by paparazzi before her arrival in the city.
Taking a neutral stance and refraining from directly commenting on his love life, Kyle shared,
“You wouldn’t know anything had changed. The only difference was that he went [to Aspen] ahead of time. But other than that, once we were there… sometimes we’d all go out together as family or at other times, me and the girls would go out alone…”
Hinting at the rumors surrounding Mauricio and Klaudia, the Halloween Ends Here star admitted there was tension, but she refrained from directly addressing the subject on the trip. She said,
“There were a couple of times… There’s so much to talk about, but I don’t really want to talk about that right now, and he didn’t either. A lot of the time, I felt like, okay, for lack of a better word, there’s an elephant in the room that we’re not discussing…”
Kyle Richards Opens Up About Her Complicated Feelings For Mauricio Umansky
In a candid segment of the February 4, 2025, episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Richards shared an emotional and surprising insight into her relationship with Umansky.
When asked whether she still harbors feelings for Mauricio or if she has fully moved on, Kyle revealed the complexities of their bond, saying,
“Mo and I love each other so much, it’s also confusing and complicated sometimes. Other people who are separated are fighting like crazy—boom, done, divorce! Finished. But that’s not the case with us… It’s just different. It’s hard to just cut that cord”.
Earlier, in the December 3, 2024, episode of the reality show, the actress shared how she had hoped for the possibility of reconciliation with her husband. She explained,
“Mo made the decision to sign a six-month lease [at his new place]… Maybe we’ll reconvene in six months or so and see what happens. He, then however, decided to buy all brand new furniture which, of course, is more permanent. I thought this [separation] does not seem very temporary now”.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in January 1996, after two years of dating. However, after 27 years of marriage, and three daughters together, the couple announced their separation in late September 2023.
Despite being over a year since their split, neither has filed for divorce.
While the tension between Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky lingers, their deep connection shows that moving on isn’t always as clear-cut as it seems.
Even after their separation, their love is complicated, and sometimes, cutting ties isn’t as easy as signing divorce papers.
