All the brutal RHOBH fan theories on why Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky aren’t divorced yet. ‘Please just get a divorce, it’s so annoying’
Kyle Richards Discovers Mauricio Umansky’s Kiss with Another Woman
Kyle Richards learned on the latest episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that her ex, Mauricio Umansky, was caught making out with another woman. The revelation came nearly two years after their separation, which they initially denied would lead to divorce.
Richards, 56, and Umansky, 54, married in 1996 and share three daughters: Alexia (28), Sophia (25), and Portia (16). Despite their split being public since July 2023, the couple has yet to finalize a divorce.
Mauricio Spotted with Nikita Kahn Amid Divorce Uncertainty
In July 2024, Mauricio was photographed kissing 33-year-old actress Nikita Kahn. This further fueled speculation about his relationship status.
Meanwhile, Kyle was rumored to be involved in a romantic relationship with singer Morgan Wade, though neither has confirmed the nature of their bond. Fans were left wondering why Kyle and Mauricio still hadn’t officially divorced.
Kyle and Dorit Discuss Their Marital Issues
During the latest RHOBH episode, Kyle and co-star Dorit Kemsley attempted to mend their strained friendship while discussing their respective marital struggles.
They admitted feeling uncertain about their estranged husbands’ intentions. Kyle described her situation as “stagnant,” while Dorit expressed concerns about her husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley, possibly dating again. Kyle dismissed the idea, saying, “I think we would know. I mean, it’s kinda hard to do that in our world.”
Shocking Revelation Through Media Headlines
A week later, the show cut to headlines exposing Mauricio’s kiss with Nikita Kahn. Erika Jayne checked in with Kyle via video call, asking, “Did you see this coming?”
Kyle, caught off guard, admitted, “Not at all. I don’t know. I don’t really know how I am.” The episode ended on that note, leaving fans speculating about Kyle’s next move.
Fans Theorize Financial Motives Behind the Delay
Many fans believe the reason Kyle and Mauricio remain in marital limbo is financial. Journalist Gibson Johns speculated that Mauricio is hesitant to divorce due to the financial entanglements tied to his real estate company, The Agency.
Mauricio founded The Agency in 2011 and has sold over $5 billion in properties. In 2024, the couple’s combined net worth was reportedly over $100 million, raising questions about how much each would retain post-divorce.
Speculations on Mauricio’s Financial Privacy
Some fans, like @itsabravoworld, suggested that Mauricio wants to avoid a public financial disclosure that could come with divorce proceedings.
Others, such as @dclaire26, argued that Mauricio isn’t concerned about love but rather protecting his financial assets. “He doesn’t want to give Kyle half,” one fan posted.
Meanwhile, @BrvoUniversitea remained hopeful for reconciliation, writing, “Deep down, I think Mo and Kyle will get back together. I don’t see them wanting to grow old with anyone else.”
Divided Opinions on Kyle and Mauricio’s Future
Other fans believe Kyle is in denial. “Mo has no plans of returning to that marriage. Start consulting legal counsel,” wrote @NiqueG_22.
Shaelyn (@FashionShanghai) added, “No, Kyle, you have been in denial!!! Mo is doing just fine!!! He ain’t telling you none of that.”
Another user, Channing (@JustChanning), said, “Ain’t no way I’d sit by while my spouse is out fully dating other women. You don’t wanna split this money and property yet… not on my watch.”
