Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky separate after 27 years of marriage.
After 27 years of marriage, Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have decided to end their relationship. The news was confirmed by People magazine, which reported that the couple has been separated for some time but are still living together.
According to a source close to the pair, they are handling the separation amicably and are focused on figuring out what comes next for themselves and their family. Despite the end of their marriage, they remain on good terms.
Kyle Richards, who is 54 years old, and Mauricio Umansky, who is 53, first met in 1994 and tied the knot two years later. In January 2022, Umansky celebrated their 26th anniversary with a heartfelt Instagram post, expressing his love and gratitude for Richards and their life together.
Representatives for Richards and Umansky have been contacted for comment by USA TODAY, but no official statements have been released at this time. However, in June, Richards shared family photos on Instagram to wish Umansky a happy Father's Day, praising him for being an incredible dad to their children.
The couple has three daughters together: Alexia Simone, 27; Sophia Kylie, 23; and Portia, 15. Richards also has an older daughter, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, 34, from a previous marriage. Despite their separation, Umansky's Instagram bio still states that he is married to Richards and is the father of their four daughters.
While the couple has not directly addressed their split, Richards posted a selfie with Umansky on her Instagram Story on the same day the news broke. They were celebrating the birthday of television personality Faye Resnick. Umansky also shared the photo on his Instagram Story.
Rumors about the state of their marriage had circulated earlier, with speculation arising when Richards was seen without her wedding ring. However, Umansky dismissed these rumors in an episode of a podcast, stating that they were not getting divorced and that the story was blown out of proportion.
In March, Richards also addressed rumors about her marriage while attending an event. She expressed her frustration with the constant scrutiny and emphasized that her focus was on her own well-being and happiness.
As of now, the future of Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky's relationship remains uncertain. However, they are committed to maintaining a positive co-parenting dynamic and finding their own paths forward.
