Reality Hits Hard
Troubles in the couple’s marriage began to surface during the 13th season of RHOBH. Yet, it was the season finale that turned the spotlight on the profound issues in their relationship.
Fans responded to preview clips from an upcoming episode of “Buying Beverly Hills” where Umansky shared his stress over the constant travelling for work and its adverse impact on their relationship. One viewer noted on Instagram, “So it looks like he did express how overwhelmed he is which is the opposite of what Kyle gave us. He said in 60 seconds more than Kyle did the entire season of housewives.”
Explaining the Timeline
