In a recent episode of The Agency Dallas’ “Red Mic” podcast, Mauricio Umansky, a 53-year-old real estate magnate, clarified the status of his marriage with Kyle Richards, a 54-year-old television personality. The couple, who have been in the limelight for years, took the opportunity to address rumors and speculations about their relationship. Umansky firmly stated that they are neither separated nor divorced, despite facing challenges in their marriage.
Umansky expressed that the couple has been dealing with internal issues privately. “We’re not separated. We’re not divorced at this point. We are not any of that stuff,” he emphasized. He elaborated that they have been married for 27 years, describing the journey as “amazing.” However, he was quick to correct himself, specifying that they had an “amazing 26 years” and a “difficult one year.”
Umansky acknowledged the reality that most marriages go through ups and downs, including bad months and bad years. He considered himself and Kyle blessed for having 26 years without a “bad year.” This statement came as a part of his appearance on the podcast, which is hosted by his real estate brokerage, The Agency.
Two days prior to the podcast, Kyle Richards was seen supporting Umansky during his debut on the television show “Dancing With the Stars.” Alongside Richards in the front row were the couple’s daughters—Alexia, Sophia, and Portia. Umansky is also the stepfather to Richards’ daughter Farrah from a previous relationship. Earlier in the month, Umansky had mentioned to Us Weekly that his family would be his primary cheerleaders as he took on the dance floor. “Everybody’s ready [and] everybody’s already adjusted their calendars, particularly Kyle ‘cause she’s so busy,” he said.
Nearly two months before the podcast, news had surfaced that the couple, who got married in 1996, were facing difficulties in their marriage. They responded with a joint Instagram statement, refuting claims of divorce. “Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue. However, yes, we have had a rough year,” they stated. They emphasized that there had been no wrongdoing on either side and requested privacy to work through their issues.
Weeks after the joint statement, an exclusive source informed Us Weekly that the couple was working on rebuilding their “foundation.” They had even gone on multiple family vacations over the summer to strengthen their relationship.
Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards have publicly clarified their marital status, stating that they are neither separated nor divorced. While acknowledging the challenges they have faced, they also emphasized their commitment to each other and their family. Amid the swirl of public speculation and media scrutiny, the couple has chosen to address the rumors head-on while requesting the space to resolve their issues privately. Their story serves as a reminder that even long-standing relationships can face challenges, but what matters is the commitment to work through them.
