Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky SLAM Divorce Rumors, Working Through Marriage

A lot has been said about "RHOBH" star couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky and the "breakdown" of their marriage in the past few hours, but now, the couple is taking the narrative back as they took to social media to give a formal update, and no, they are not divorcing!

Yesterday, news broke that RHOBH alum Kyle Richards and her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky are separating, with People magazine reporting, "Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof. They remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family."

Richards, 54, met Umansky, a 53-year-old entrepreneur in 1994 at a club. At the time, Richards was divorced from her first husband Guraish Aldjufrie, with whom she shares her lookalike daughter Farrah Brittany (née Aldjufrie), 34. After dating for a while, the Richards and Umansky got married in 1996 and went on to have three more daughters, Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.

While Farrah is not his biological daughter, Umasky proudly describes himself as "father to four amazing daughters" and Farrah even works with him at his real-estate firm.

The couple shot to fame when their family became part of the cast of the 2010 show, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" on Bravo with Richards becoming a mainstay for 12 years before the show finally bowed out.

While the media is talking about the "end" of their marriage, Richards and Umansky took to social media to deny all the rumors and took the narrative back...

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky may be having a rough year, but they are standing strong, together as they gave a combined statement that read, "In regards to the news that came out about us today... Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue. However, yes, we've had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There [have] been no wrongdoings on anyone's part."

The statement also told off the speculators as it read, "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."

the two signed off as "Kyle and Mauricio", thanking everyone for the love and support. Comments on both posts were turned off, but the likes began pouring in for the two.

The statement said nothing about the separations, just made a strong point that the two were not divorcing and were fully committed to working out the issue between them. The narrative also trashes Richards's "involvement" with a certain country singer!

Umansky has been noticeably missing from wifey Richard's Instagram posts recently, although just as their separation story was trending, she did post a selfie with him and Faye Resnick on her Instagram Stories, pictured below:

Just a few weeks back though, Richards posted a set of pictures on Instagram, captioning them "Life Lately" and two of the pictures were with country singer Morgan Wade, with Umansky noticeably absent. He's also not been very regular on her social media for months either, although he was sure to mark Mother's Day and Valentine's Day posts with her pictures.

In one of the shots with Wade, 28, Richards posed for a mirror selfie after a gym session while in another picture, they posed while vacationing together in Aspen, Colorado making fans wonder why the "RHOBH" wife was spending more time with the "Psychopath" singer than her husband.

Wondered fans:

"Where is Mauricio?!"

"Kyle?!???!????!? Who is this lady friend?"

"I’m not judging what so ever fyi but is this a new relationship or am I wrong."

"I guess you ain’t even hiding your relationship anymore..."

"She's telling us without telling us."

Apparently, she was not telling anybody anything, and here's a two-week post where she gushed about Mauricio being the "best dad" ever.
