Kyle Richards' Support Of Mauricio Umansky On 'DWTS' Is 'Confusing' To Fans

Kyle Richardsis out here drumming up support for Mauricio Umansky as he competes on "Dancing With The Stars," and while some devotees love it, other followers do not know what to make of it.

The actress is taking the high road despite her ongoing separation from her husband, Umansky, and is determined to do things differently, unlike most failed celebrity marriages. Richards displayed her support and solidarity via social media and a major physical appearance as she urged the public to throw all their weight behind Umansky.

The television personality has left her fans guessing after posting a picture of her ex-husband with his "DWTS" dance partner and soliciting votes on their behalf. Mauricio looked dapper in a gray and black sports coat paired with a black shirt and pants as she posed alongside Emma, who looked radiant in a silver ensemble.

One fan did not bother beating around the bush when they commented, "So confused by this. Why did they put out that they separated if they aren't divorcing. Giving strangers way too much info about private things🤔," as another added, "No wedding ring" seemingly referring to the vacant space on Umansky's left finger.

Another concerned fan wrote, "Y'all are so confusing 🙃," While the fourth praised Richards for her maturity writing, "So glad you're supporting him … i hope you guys work everything out," as another follower simply wondered if the move was for "damage control."

As if the post was not enough, Richards doubled down on her commitment to Umansky coming out on top by escorting him to the DWTS studio in Los Angeles in preparation for the premiere episode.

The beauty looked all shades of cute in a stylish crimson satin shirt tucked into an edgy black leather miniskirt, which showed off her incredibly toned legs. She paired the look with matching black tights and knee-high black wedge leather boots with pointy toes.

Richards wore her rich brunette hair in a center-parted style, letting it flow down her shoulders. She opted for semi-nude makeup, bold black sunglasses, and gold earrings.

The star looked perfect as she took a stroll around the parking lot with a cow-print handbag hanging gracefully over her shoulder. Mauricio did not disappoint with his funky fashion choice, which featured a baby blue ripped shirt, white pants, and matching white and blue dancing shoes.

This new support development comes after she was spotted spending time with country singer Morgan Wade on a trip to Paris and fueling dating rumors per Daily Mail. The pair jetted out to Paris earlier in the month on a fun girls' trip and work trip. The actress is currently filming a documentary about Morgan, which may feature clips from their trip.

However, the "Curfew" actress stressed that their relationship was purely platonic and the camera was for filming purposes as she said:

'I'm like why do people just make things up about the trip. I mean they see there's a camera there, and they completely ignore that there is a camera there and act like we just... I don't know what... but I'm like there were cameras there. Can you guys just get your act together?"

Before their recent sighting, the actress described how emotionally draining the separation with Umansky has been. Richards, who stars in "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," opened up in an interview with Amazon Live about the challenging curve in her journey.

According to her, dealing with separation in a celebrity marriage and being swarmed by the media makes everything complex. In her words, "You know, this has been very hard to do. [It's] playing out with so many people having eyes on us and being in the public eye."

Per The Blast, the couple released a joint statement on their decision to separate in July following rumors of tension in their marriage. But through it all, their children remain a top priority as they even embarked on a joint vacation with their four daughters.

The pair shared a loving family picture with their kids on a luxurious yacht in Italy as they continue to co-parent in the wake of their evolving family dynamic. Richards and Umansky have been married for 27 years. They tied the knot in 1996 after meeting at a nightclub in 1994.

The estranged couple share three daughters: Alexia,27; Sophia,23; and Portia,15. But despite news of their separation, Richards revealed there are no plans for divorce yet.
