Kyle Richards Separation: Needed ‘Space’ and ‘Freedom’ From Husband Mauricio Umansky

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky separated after 27 years of wedded bliss, shocking the Bravoverse. Kyle recently revealed that she wanted the separation.

Meanwhile, Mauricio joined Dancing with the Stars and made their separation the basis for his backstory. He was photographed holding hands with his dance partner, Emma Slater, after dinner. Mauricio owns a successful real estate firm, and Emma has her license. Interesting. And then Mauricio and Emma performed a super sexy dance, which he dedicated to Kyle. And now I can’t unsee it.

Page Six reported that Kyle was a guest on Live with Kelly and Mark. The show aired a preview clip of RHOBH. Dorit Kemsley questioned Kyle about her marriage in the teaser.

“I mean, have you had any thoughts recently?” Dorit asked. “Like do you think you would not end up with Mo?” Perhaps Dorit should have been watching her allegedly crumbling marriage to PK Kemsley.

Afterward, Kyle asked Dorit why she thought that. Dorit replied, “Well, like even just from Instagram, you know, I usually see you and Mo together, and it just seemed like you were spending a lot of time away from each other.” Photos from Kyle’s Instagram were shown, including snaps with her friends, Morgan Wade and Teddi Mellencamp. Mauricio was absent from the photos.

“I feel like I needed a little freedom — freedom and some space,” Kyle said. She revealed on the talk show it was her first time watching the clip. Kyle stated that she was “not thrilled with the questions” Dorit fired at her.

Kyle wasn’t prepared to share her marriage woes

“I wasn’t ready to address that stuff,” Kyle said. She added, “It would’ve been better if she had asked me that off-camera.” The actress told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, “Well, that particular day, I was really not happy. I feel like you could definitely see that.”

Additionally, Kyle shared that she was “not quite” herself and a “little angry” and a “little bitter” while filming Season 13 of RHOBH. Surprisingly, in the season premiere, the tension between the married couple was evident. Their marital discord will therefore be the focal point of this season. While Kyle finally has a juicy storyline, it probably wasn’t the one that she wanted.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 13 continues on Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
