She elaborated on their current situation, stating, “When the time comes, obviously, we will address it.”
Host Andy Cohen, 56, observed that Richards likely wasn’t eager to initiate such a conversation, to which she acknowledged, “Of course not. It’s hard, and it’s not something either one of us obviously feels comfortable initiating and we just kind of let that go. … It is what it is right now.”
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star maintains regular contact with Umansky, 54, communicating via text messages either daily or every few days, with phone conversations occurring multiple times per week.
While Umansky has begun dating, Richards mentioned she’s intentionally steered clear of meeting any of his new romantic interests. She did acknowledge considering entering the dating scene herself.
Kyle Richards opens up to TODAY about her separation with Mauricio and explains what may have contributed to the breakdown of her marriage: “I’ve gone through a lot, I lost my best friend and I think that really does change you and makes you look at things differently.”

Following their separation, Richards faced speculation about her relationship with singer Morgan Wade, though both have consistently maintained their friendship is purely platonic.
Umansky’s romantic life has garnered attention, particularly when he was seen showing affection with his “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Emma Slater, in October 2023. Richards admitted on “WWHL” that these public displays were difficult for her to witness, saying she felt “taken aback” by the situation.
More recently, Umansky has been spotted enjoying multiple getaways with Russian actress Nikita Kahn.
