Kyle Richards Strikes Wife From Instagram Bio 2 Months After Tossing Mauricio Unmasky's Name

Kyle Richardsis keeping the rumor hill buzzing with another tweak to her Instagram bio!

This time, the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star removed the title "wife" just months after she had ditched her husband Mauricio Umansky's last name from her profile.

While neither Kyle Richards nor Mauricio Umansky have officially filed for divorce, these social media changes hint at a significant shift in their relationship.

Following recent photos capturing her estranged husband in a seemingly romantic embrace with another woman, Richards has removed the word "wife" from her Instagram profile. 

The update to the mother-of-four's bio, which now lists her as "Mom, actor, author, producer, animal lover, a RHOBH, CAA," stands in stark contrast to its previous state.  

Before the change, "wife" held a prominent spot between "Mom" and "actor." While the timing of this edit coincides with the surfacing of Umansky's photos, it is important to note that Richards has yet to officially address the situation, per TMZ.

Interestingly, Richards' Twitter bio still includes the word "wife," but this inconsistency could be due to a less active presence on that platform.

This latest update is part of a pattern of recent changes made by Richards, often following significant actions by Umansky. 

In May, after news broke that the father-of-four had moved out of their shared home, a keen eye would have noticed a change on Richards' social media pages. 

She switched from "Kyle Richards Umansky" to simply "Kyle Richards." The Blast reported on the bio change and Umansky's move, revealing details about his new bachelor pad. 

The luxury condo in West Hollywood is the same building as Matt Damon's multi-million dollar unit. Sources indicated that Umansky's move was driven by his shifting living situation with Richards, further fueling speculation about their marriage status.

While rumors of a split have swirled for months, an insider revealed that Richards and Umansky "have been living separately for the last few months."

The source noted that the move improved their dynamic as Richards plans to stay in their primary residence, while Umansky "will frequently visit" during her absences.

However, even with this new arrangement, the former pair are not yet ready to discuss divorce. The insider claims that the primary reason is the financial complexities surrounding "The Agency," the real estate company co-founded by Umansky.

After Umansky's recent photo op with a mystery blonde, one would expect Richards to stand by him, especially given his supportive stance regarding her friendship with Wade. 

The Blast reported that Umansky acknowledged the undeniable connection between Richards and the country music star. The TV personality admitted this during a candid conversation with a coworker on Netflix's "Buying Beverly Hills," saying:

"They definitely have some sort of a connection together; there's no question about that. They spend a lot of time together." 

Despite his awareness of their bond, the 54-year-old expressed a hesitance to pry deeper. He emphasized:

"Maybe one of the reasons I don't want to ask is because I don't want to put the extra pressure on her. If it's working for her and it's giving her the opportunity to be dealing with our separation … I'm good with that."

While Umansky might be okay with the two women bonding, Richards and Wade have continued to deny any romantic connections. Amid the rumors, a source close to Richards shed some light on the situation, revealing the reality TV star's emotional state.

The insider claimed the actress is experiencing a confusing mix of emotions but is "excited to have these feelings after losing connection with Mauricio in their marriage."

The source also confirmed a genuine connection between Richards and Wade. "She really cares about Morgan and there is a strong connection," they revealed.  

There is no doubt that Richards' social media activity has ignited a firestorm of speculation.  However, whether this edit signifies a definitive end to their marriage or simply a public display of frustration remains to be seen.
