Kyle Richards has chosen not to apologize for the way she handled the public announcement of her separation from Mauricio Umansky. During the recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 reunion, Dorit Kemsley expressed feeling hurt by Kyle's lack of transparency regarding her relationship status, especially in light of Dorit's own marital struggles with her husband Paul 'PK' Kemsley.
Dorit mentioned that after the previous year's reunion, she and Kyle had not communicated for several months. She noticed the absence of Mauricio in Kyle's Instagram posts, which led her to suspect trouble in their relationship. Kyle responded by explaining that she expected Dorit to reach out if she had concerns about her marriage. She also revealed her tendency to withdraw from others during challenging times.
In July 2023, a source close to Kyle and Mauricio disclosed to PEOPLE that the couple had decided to separate after 27 years of marriage. Despite the separation, they continue to reside together and maintain an amicable relationship as they navigate their future.
Kyle and Mauricio met in 1994 and got married in January 1996 after Kyle's divorce from her first husband. They share four daughters together. When season 13 of RHOBH premiered, Kyle acknowledged the difficulties she faced during filming, particularly due to her personal struggles.
She expressed that the season brought unexpected challenges but highlighted the importance of her relationships with the RHOBH cast and crew. Kyle admitted to finding it challenging to cope with her personal issues while being in front of the cameras.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Kyle's journey through her separation and the impact on her personal life continues to unfold on the show.
