Kyle Richards<\/strong><\/a> is weighing in on Ashley Darby<\/strong><\/a> \u201cflirting\u201d with estranged husband Mauricio Umansky<\/strong><\/a> during his appearance on The Real Housewives of Potomac.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe actually talked about this the other day. I don\u2019t know how it was portrayed because I haven\u2019t seen the scenes \u2014 I saw something on Watch What Happens Live<\/em> \u2014 but, I mean, if she was flirting, that\u2019s weird,\u201d Richards, 57, said while answering a fan question during a Wednesday, January 21, Amazon Live, per a fan\u2019s recording<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI would never \u2014 I was talking about this yesterday \u2014 be able to date anybody that any of the women, Housewives, dated or were married to. That\u2019s just weird. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m like, \u2018You\u2019re embarrassing yourself doing that on camera.\u2019 He just bumped into them, by the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/em> star said Gizelle Bryant<\/strong> texted her \u201cright away\u201d that they crossed paths with Umansky, because she allegedly \u201cfelt uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGizelle Bryant sets some clear boundaries for her Real Housewives of Potomac costars when Kyle Richards\u2018 ex Mauricio Umansky pays them a visit. In Us Weekly\u2018s exclusive first look at the show\u2019s Sunday, January 18, episode, Mauricio, 55, playfully greets the RHOP ladies in Aspen, teasing, \u201cWhat are you all doing in my town?\u201d Gizelle, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cShe was like, \u2018Just so you know, we just ran into Mauricio and blah, blah, blah,\u2019\u201d Richards said of Bryant\u2019s message. \u201cI was like, \u2018All good.\u2019 I couldn\u2019t care, you know. Everyone can do what they want. I just thought, \u2018That\u2019s embarrassing.\u2019 I don\u2019t know. Like I said, I didn\u2019t really see it though, so I shouldn\u2019t really comment.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the season 10 RHOP<\/em> trailer was released in August 2025, fans noticed that Umansky was mingling with the cast.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a smooth cat<\/a>,\u201d Darby exclusively teased to Us Weekly<\/em> in October 2025. \u201cThat guy is very smooth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Us<\/em> confirmed in July 2023 that Richards and Umansky were separating after 27 years of marriage. The twosome confirmed the news in a joint Instagram statement, sharing that \u201cclaims regarding us divorcing are untrue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky\u2019s past comments about the status of their marriage are resurfacing in light of the news of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple\u2019s separation. Back in April, the 54-year-old Bravo star spoke to Page Six about how pictures of her leaving the gym sans wedding ring sparked split speculation. \u201cA, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHowever, yes, we have had a rough year,\u201d the post read. \u201cThe most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone\u2019s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richards and the Buying Beverly Hills<\/em> star have remained cordial, being spotted together on multiple occasions while celebrating the holidays<\/a> in 2025 \u2014 but there\u2019s no reconciliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are not getting back together or rekindling their romance,\u201d a source exclusively told Us<\/em> earlier this month, noting that the pair are \u201cin a really good place\u201d with their current relationship.<\/p>\n

The insider noted that there\u2019s \u201cstill so much love\u201d<\/a> between the exes, who share daughters Alexia, 29, Sophia, 25, and Portia, 18. (Umansky is also stepdad to Richards\u2019 daughter Farrah, 37, from a previous marriage.)<\/p>\n
