Kyle Richards separated from Mauricio Umansky in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage. Quite some time later, neither has seemingly moved toward filing for divorce. Now, in a new “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 15 reunion clip, the 57-year-old is giving an update.
Plus, the “RHOBH” star is discussing their shared business and what would happen if they were to get divorced.
Part two of the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” season 15 reunion airs on April 30. Now, ahead of the sure-to-be drama-filled episode, Bravo has released a preview. In it, Richards is being questioned about her separation. However, before she spoke in the clip, Dorit Kemsley asked if Richards believed she was waiting for her estranged husband to “come back.”
She thought for a bit before saying, “No, I think it’s just not knowing what you want, and you know, I like the way it is that we can have dinner and he goes to his room and I go to my room and wake up and we have coffee in the morning.”
After that, host Andy Cohen clarified that Richards meant when she and Umansky take their family on vacation in Colorado, not that he spends the night at the home. He then asked if she felt that divorcing him would mean they wouldn’t take the family vacations.
Richards responded, “It would change, and it would be scary if it [would change for me].”
Kyle Richards Also Answered Questions About Finances
As the preview continued, Cohen read a question from a viewer, asking if she would want half of The Agency if they happened to file and then go through with a divorce. She responded, “Well, it’s mine. Half of it’s mine.”
From there, Richards’ sister, Kathy Hilton, asked, “Does he realize that?” This led Richards to defend herself and their real estate agency, saying, “We built our lives together. He literally had two nickels when I married him.”
Following the proclamation, some of the “RHOBH” cast seemed to think Umansky may challenge Richards’ take, noting, “Money changes things. Especially men.”
She went on, “It doesn’t change that half is mine, and obviously, there’s no prenup.” Towards the end, she recalled that they lived in a two-bedroom apartment with their kids early on.
‘RHOBH’ Fans Have Their Opinions
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” fans are weighing in following Richards’ update on her separation. Notably, some believe the Bravo star hopes to rekindle, whereas others have opposing theories. One person on X wrote, “The same old sh-t from Kyle… just superficial things. Is she gonna be honest one day?”
Someone else surmised, “I think she wishes they could reconcile, but she didn’t expect him to do so well single. I think she regrets her decision.” A different fan stated, “We’re so over this storyline. We’re bored.”
After that, a different X user had criticism for the show, saying, “So Kyle is still giving nothing all while Andy holds her hand and babysits her. Chile! That’s why this franchise is the way it is now!”
Lastly, another watcher replied, “Mo is totally playing her. He’s long gone from this relationship, years ago. He acts all sweet around her and allows her to think she has a chance because his multi-million dollar company is in her name, and she can take it tomorrow if she wants. She’s very, very naive.”
The Reality Star Previously Gave An Update In 2025
Richards has been asked about her status with Umansky several times since their split. Each time, the comments are amicable. One of the updates came in December 2025 when she spoke to ExtraTV. In speaking about their relationship, she told the outlet, “We are good friends. We obviously live separately and live our own lives.”
Regarding a divorce, she said, “I would assume, but I just take it a day at a time.” Of course, this interview came after the “RHOBH” season 15 trailer, where, when discussing dating, Richards stated that she could go for either Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie.
She explained the remark, stating, “We were at a dating event. Everyone kept coming up to me asking, ‘What’s your type? What’s your type?’ and I was like, ‘Listen, I know where you’re going,’ so I gave them what I knew they wanted to hear… It made everybody laugh, and hopefully now they’ll just move on.”
Richards Says She’s Not Dating
Following her split from Umansky, Richards had a reported relationship with country singer Morgan Wade. However, this seems to have fizzled out despite them remaining on good terms, as evidenced by their interactions on social media.
In March 2026, Richards told PEOPLE that she’s too busy to date. According to her, “All I do is work.” Still, she admitted that “of course” she wants to be in a relationship with someone in the future.
She said, “I hope to get married again one day. I mean, listen, I’m someone who really enjoys being married. So I won’t be single my whole life.”
