<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\n\t\t\tRelated: <\/span>Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s Relationship Timeline<\/span><\/a>
\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tKyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were married for more than two decades before they shocked fans with their separation in 2023. Richards was previously married to Guraish Aldjufrie, with whom she shares daughter Farrah, from 1988 to 1992. She met Umansky in 1994, and the couple exchanged vows two years later. Richards was four months [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cMau was really focused on who gave the story and I was more focused on how it was affecting all of us,\u201d Kyle recalled. \u201cIt just felt like my whole life was over in that moment. The life as I knew it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a public statement released following the split news, Kyle and Mauricio denied that there was any \u201cwrongdoing\u201d<\/a> in their relationship, seemingly alluding to cheating rumors. Kyle doubled down on this during a conversation with Erika Jayne<\/strong> that was also shown during Wednesday\u2019s episode. Mauricio also joked that she was the focus of the cheating rumors. (Kyle has denied that she was more than friends with Morgan Wade<\/strong> while Mauricio has shut down cheating rumors on multiple occasions over the years.)<\/p>\nPerhaps the most heart-wrenching part of Kyle and Mauricio\u2019s split came when they had to speak with their kids. Portia broke down in tears hugging her mom.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe haven\u2019t told you guys everything because we try to protect you and then all of a sudden you kind of get blindsided by this public news,\u201d Mauricio told his daughters. Kyle added, \u201cWe haven\u2019t talked about a divorce. Just so you guys know that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alexia asked her parents what they planned to do moving forward. Kyle explained that they\u2019re \u201ctaking space\u201d to work things out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not broken, just bent. We\u2019re a very strong family and always will be,\u201d Kyle added, as the cameras panned to her daughters who were all wiping tears off their faces.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve come to realize that, you know, there\u2019s a big chance that we\u2019re not going to end up together,\u201d the RHOBH<\/em> star said during her confessional. It appears questions about the status of her and Mauricio\u2019s relationship will continue to arise when part one of the RHOBH<\/em> season 13 reunion<\/a> airs on Wednesday, February 28.<\/p>\n
