‘Real Housewives’ Star Kyle Richards Responds to Divorce Claims

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards has responded to reports that her marriage of 27 years to Mauricio Umansky has fallen apart, stating that “any claims regarding divorcing are untrue.”

On Monday, July 3, People reported that Richards and Umansky were separating, though they were “still living under the same roof” and “remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.”

However, just hours later, Richards took to Instagram to shout down the claims of separation. “In regards to the news that came out about us today, any claims regarding divorcing are untrue,” Richards and Umansky wrote in a joint statement. “However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously.”

“There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part,” the statement continued. “Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative. Thank you for the love and support, Kyle & Mauricio.”
