Everything We Know About Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s Split
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have officially split. That said, the d-word is currently not being used, minus Kyle’s misspoken divorce statement at BravoCon. More on that later. Either way, this separation is sad.
Kyle and Mo’s 27-year long marriage has had its fair share of ups and downs. Therefore, this announcement isn’t all that shocking. For those still trying to understand what went wrong, here’s everything that we know regarding Kyle and Mauricio’s split.
Kyle and Mauricio’s Early Years
Kyle and Mauricio met in 1994 at a nightclub called Bar One. In a 2021 interview with The Knot, Kyle explained “Mauricio thought I was Demi Moore’s sister…so he worked up the courage to come over and say hello, thinking that I was.” It worked. The pair were married in 1996.
To date, the Umanskys now have three children: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. In addition, Kyle also has a 34-year-old daughter, Farrah Brittany, with her ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie. In 2010, Kyle joined the cast of RHOBH, alongside her real estate husband, Mauricio. During their first season, a psychic foresaw that Mauricio would “never emotionally fulfill” Kyle, which now feels…spot-on.

Enter in Dana, photoshopping their faces onto a movie poster. Like rapid fire, others began to speculate on whether or not this could be true.
In the comments, Dorit sounded off, angrily denying her joke. “Is something wrong with you woman? Or are you just so miserable in your life you have nothing better to do?”
