Could Mauricio Umansky be on the verge of reconciling with Kyle Richards? Or has he completely given up? From the sound of his recent encounter with paparazzi, it’s hard to tell.
Mauricio Umansky’s Stance on Reconciliation
During a recent outing with his daughter, Alexia, in Los Angeles, the co-star of ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ found himself facing a question about his relationship status. When asked by TMZ if he was close to reconciling with his estranged wife, a year after their separation, Umansky could only respond with, “Oh my God, I have no idea. You gotta ask somebody else that question.”
His guarded answer suggested the future of their relationship is in Richards’ hands.
Umansky’s 54th Birthday Celebration
Days before this encounter, Umansky celebrated his 54th birthday with Richards and their family at Catch Steak. In response to questions about possible birthday presents from Richards, Umansky was initially tight-lipped. However, he eventually revealed that she had gifted him “something from Hermes” and “something nice for my new condo.”
His daughter Alexia added her two cents, praising her mother’s gift-giving skills, noting she “always spoils.”
The Couple’s Separation Tale
The separation, it appears, was entirely Richards’ call. Umansky confirmed as much in an emotional episode of his Netflix reality show ‘Buying Beverly Hills,’ where he confided in his daughters about the breakup. He expressed sadness over the end of an “amazing 26 years” with Richards and her decision to end their marriage.
However, during the ‘RHOBH’ season 13 reunion, Richards chose to keep the reasons for their separation under wraps. According to reports from Us Weekly, some months after the split, Umansky moved out of their shared house into a luxury condo in West Hollywood.
Counseling Sessions Come to a Halt
Previously, Richards and Umansky sought professional help to navigate their marital issues. In one of ‘RHOBH’ season 13 episodes, titled ‘Diamonds in the Rough,’ the couple was seen discussing their therapy sessions.
While Umansky called the experience “fun” and a period of “growing and changing,” Richards disagreed. She emotionally confessed that she wouldn’t accept for herself what she wouldn’t want her daughters to tolerate.
The vague nature of Umansky’s response to the reconciliation question leaves fans and followers in suspense. Regardless, both Umansky and Richards seem committed to maintaining a good relationship, especially for their daughters. The future of their relationship, however, remains a mystery.
