"RHOBH" Star Kyle Richards Dispels Divorce Rumors After Separation Announcement
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky shut down any speculation of “wrongdoing” in a joint statement about their shocking separation.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star and real estate broker also said that any claims about them divorcing are “untrue.”
“However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage,” the statement, posted to social media, said.
“But we both love and respect each other tremendously.”
The estranged couple also appeared to address the rumors circulating about the nature of Richards’ relationship with country music singer Morgan Wade.
“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,” the reality stars continued.
“While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
The statement concluded with the pair thanking their fans for “the love and support” before signing both of their names.
News of Richards and Umansky’s separation broke Monday — just hours after the Bravolebrity had posted a selfie with her now-estranged husband.
Richards, 54, and Umansky, 53, married in January 1996, and share daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.
Richards is also mom to Farrah Brittany, 34, whom she welcomed with her first husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.
As soon as news of their separation made headlines, fans began to speculate if Wade played a role in the duo’s decision to hit the pause button on their marriage, as a rep for Richards and Umansky told People they’d been apart “for a while.”
Over the past few months, Richards posted several photos and carousels to her Instagram feed that all featured the “Wilder Days” songstress — but Umansky was nowhere to be found.
The two women have been attached at the hip after meeting last year, with Richards even going as Wade’s date to the American Music Awards in September 2022.
Since then, the duo traveled to Mexico with friends and even went to Atlanta to spend time with Wade’s family, but what took the fan speculation over the top was the fact that the two seemed to have matching heart tattoos.
Wade, 28, has not publicly commented on their friendship or the news of Richards’ split.
