Kyle Richards and her longtime husband, Mauricio Umansky, have not divorced yet.
For the last few days, the internet has been filled with the rumors that the couple had reportedly decided to divorce from one another.
In the wake of the rumors, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Instagram to release a joint statement with her husband.
The July 3 statement addressed the recent reports that she and the real estate mogul husband had separated, as it read, “In regards to the news that came out about us today…Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue.”
The statement denied they had not divorced so far, but on the other hand, it did not clarify whether they were separated or not.

However, the couple did acknowledge that they had “a rough year.” It read, “The most challenging of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
“Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative,” the joint statement added.
Fans react to the situation
When the news first came out that Richards and Umansky had separated “but are still living under the same roof,” many fans were shocked and could not believe the story.
“Wow. I’m surprised. They seem still so in love and into each other,” someone tweeted.
Another chimed in, writing, “This is so sad! They are the one housewives couple that I felt would always be together.”
“This was something I honestly didn’t think would happen, thought really was more of an open type but they’d stay together,” another tweeted.
But some netizens also expressed that any couple could feel the burden of a marriage after a certain time. And if not handled well, it can even fall apart.
Adding a similar POV, someone tweeted, “Not really shocked. The changes that happen to couples when they reach the top are hard to navigate. Kyle definitely continued to spend their money to keep up with Hiltons, and I’m sure there were lots of PYTs who eagerly pursued their careers by getting cozy with Mauricio.”
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky relationship timeline
Richards and Umansky’s 27 years long marriage began after the pair first met at a nightclub in 1994. During that time, the diva had already divorced her first husband, Guraish Aldjufrie, with whom she had a daughter, Farrah Brittany.
The same year, the couple, after bonding greatly, decided to get engaged. They eventually tied the knot in January 1996.
From their relationship, they had three children: Alexia, Sophia, and Portia.
The family came into the spotlight when they were featured in Bravo’s reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2010.
In January 2021, the couple even marked their 25th wedding anniversary. That showed they were still happy in their marriage after all those long years.
“It means so much, and it’s something that we’re both incredibly proud of,” Richards told Bravo Insider that year.
She added, “And for me, it’s one of my biggest accomplishments. I mean, I think it’s refreshing, in this town to be married 25 years is a really big deal [laughs]. And we’re really proud to be good role models to our daughters.”
But this year, their marriage has been often questioned because of various instances. One such instance was when Richards was spotted without her wedding ring.
