According to a source, Kyle and Mauricio have been living together despite their separation. They are maintaining a friendly relationship as they navigate their future plans. Kyle and Mauricio got married in 1996 and have three daughters together: Alexia (27), Sophia (23), and Portia (15). Additionally, Kyle is also a mother to another daughter, Farrah Aldjufrie (34), from a previous marriage with Guraish Aldjufrie.

Umansky previously confirmed during an appearance on the “Two Ts In a Pod” podcast in April that their marriage was questioned on season 13 of RHOBH.

“There was one unfounded rumor that spread, and the other Housewives decided to discuss it, turning it into a storyline. There are definitely some rumors circulating, and Kyle and I will address them. It's unfortunate because the girls are aware of the truth behind it all.”

Richards is the sole original cast member left on the Bravo series. Umansky expressed his disappointment with the fact that her co-stars are intensifying the drama and incorporating it into the show. We did discuss the matter, accepting it as it is. To be a part of these shows, one must develop resilience and not let things affect them too much.
