Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills: Kyle Richards cries after news breaks of separation from Mauricio Umansky after she lost ‘trust’ and tells tearful daughters during family meeting
Kyle Richards cried after the news broke that she and husband Mauricio Umansky had separated on Wednesday’s season finale of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
‘We’ve been together since our early 20’s,’ Kyle, 55, said weeping while talking about her separation from Mauricio, 53, during the season 13 finale titled ‘Soirees and Separations’.
Kyle told Erika Jayne, 52, who went over to her house to check on her, that she felt she had let people down.
‘Complete strangers are like you know ”we looked up to you guys”,’ Kyle said. ‘You made us believe in true love and now it’s gone.’
Kyle told her the hardest part of what she and Mauricio were going through was that there wasn’t ‘one big, huge thing.’

‘All these things that I’ve been needing and wanting more from my marriage that I just can’t get,’ Kyle said.
Kyle said it didn’t have to do with anybody else and that it was just about her and Mauricio.
‘There are only two people in this marriage so everybody else’s opinion can f*** off,’ Erika said. ‘You have to make yourself happy.’
One week later, Kyle made tea in the kitchen and Mauricio walked in.
‘Things have been a lot more uncomfortable with Mau and me ever since the article came out, I think because it made it just so much real,’ Kyle said in a confessional.
‘I’m just glad it’s you, that’s the one, that’s out there having an affair,’ Mauricio quipped in apparent reference to rumors linking Kyle with country music singer Morgan Wade, 29.
‘Well, for once, it’s me,’ Kyle said as Mauricio frowned.
Later, Kyle gathered all her daughters in the living room. She told them they just wanted to talk to them about all the stuff that had come out.

Mauricio said they hadn’t told them everything because they wanted to protect them.
‘I do want you guys to know we haven’t talked about divorce,’ Kyle said. ‘Just so you guys know that. Obviously, we’re no stranger to rumors.’
Kyle told them they were trying to figure out what they wanted.
‘I don’t want to leave and I don’t want dad to leave so we’re doing this while we are under the same roof,’ Kyle said. ‘That’s been the plan. And if that, we feel, is not working and not effective, then we will go to the next step, which I don’t know. Or if it is working then great.’
Portia, 16, their youngest daughter, started crying and Kyle hugged her and started crying herself.
‘We’re not broken, just bent,’ Kyle said. ‘We are a very strong family and we always will be.’
‘I’ve come to realize that there is a big chance that we’re not going to end up together,’ Kyle said in a confessional.
A producer asked her ‘what was the issue that the two of them can’t let go of?’
‘There were things that happened that made me lose my trust that I wasn’t able to recover from,’ Kyle said in a confessional.

‘Is that going to be worth the kitchen in my beach house those earrings?’ Garcelle said.
‘Yeah,’ Sutton said.
Kyle was not happy that Mauricio told someone he thought the party was going to be in the parking lot after Kyle told him it was going to be inside the stadium.
‘The White Party really is a sentimental party to me,’ Kyle said. ‘And him thinking the party was going to be in the parking lot really shows Mau’s not listening.’
Erika prayed with her dancers backstage before her performance.
‘The only happiness I really have in my life is on stage and you are the people that make me happy,’ Erika said.
Denise told the people around her that she thought Erika would be lip synching her performance.

The show then picked up one month later. The date was July 23, 2023 and one of the breaking news headlines read that ‘Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky Have ‘Separated’ After 27 Years of Marriage.’ The other ladies were stunned.
‘Kyle never, ever gave an indication that they were separating,’ Dorit said to PK.
‘It’s pretty f***ed up,’ PK said.
‘This didn’t happen overnight,’ Sutton said to Garcelle over the phone. ‘I think that Kyle was lying to us the whole time.’

‘I think you’re right,’ Garcelle said.
Kyle and Mauricio later released a statement saying that any claims regarding them divorcing are untrue and that ‘there has been on wrongdoing on anyone’s part.’
‘When the People magazine article came out, I was with Mau and the girls and all of our phones just started blowing up,’ Kyle said in a confessional. ‘Mau was really focused on who gave the story. And I was more focused on how it was affecting all of us. I saw Alexia start to cry. We got in the car, all of us, and it was this weird, like nobody knew what to do or say. It just felt like my whole life was over in that moment, the life as I knew it.’
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills will return next week on Bravo for the first of three reunion episodes.
