\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
Under Pressure<\/h3>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been so stressed and the travel, obviously, affects, you know, us,\u201d Mauricio told Kyle in the premiere after his mental breakdown at the office. \u201cAnd you\u2019re working hard and we\u2019re just busy as can be. It\u2019s just been so stressful. \u2026 I had a whole breakdown the other day at the office. \u2026 I lost my s\u2013t.\u201d<\/p>\n
Marriage Takes Work<\/h3>\n
While discussing Farrah\u2019s own relationship issues with then-fianc\u00e9 Alex Manos<\/strong><\/a> (its revealed in the finale that Farrah and Alex called off their engagement over his lack of willingness to wedding plan), Mauricio shares his perspective about marriage.<\/p>\n\u201cIt really feels like the relationship has kind of stalled right now,\u201d he said of Farrah and Alex. \u201cI know Farrah wants the fairy tale, but the reality is marriages are difficult and I\u2019m really glad and proud that Farrah is taking her time trying to figure out what to do because marriage is a huge commitment and even the best marriages sometimes don\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hilton and Hyland of It All<\/h3>\n
\u201cI think I got kind of f\u2013ked by Hilton and Hyland,\u201d Mauricio said of working with Kyle\u2019s brother-in-law, Rick Hilton<\/strong>, at the beginning of his real estate career. \u201cAnd when I say f\u2013ked, you know, like today, I\u2019m happy. But, there were 100 agents at Hilton and Hyland. They did $1 billion for the first time a year \u2014 I was 19.6 percent of their production. Then I went home and I talked to Kyle. I go, \u2018This is really going to cause a lot of stress between you and your sister and your family. And I don\u2019t want to do this move of leaving and starting a company if you\u2019re not comfortable. She was 100 percent supportive.\u201d<\/p>\nKyle Checks Out<\/strong><\/p>\nBy episode three, it\u2019s clear that there is something off with the one-time Bravo golden couple.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Kyle, I\u2019m starting to feel like she\u2019s a little bit checked out. I certainly have reached out and wanted to kiss her and she kind of said no,\u201d Mauricio told Netflix cameras. \u201cI\u2019m starting to see that and feel that and I\u2019m not there. I am still, you know, 100 percent fighting for our relationship and I am still thinking that I\u2019m going to be married to her for the rest of my life. \u2026 We\u2019ve gone to couples therapy now three times with the intention of trying to work on the marriage to try to understand and communicate with each other. So that I can understand a bit more what\u2019s really bothering Kyle with me. But we have not yet spoken to our daughters about what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Everything](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Everything-Mauricio-Umansky-Said-About-Kyle-Richards-Split-on-Buying-Beverly-Hills-Season-2-01.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
