Kyle Richards will not let anything disrupt family time this festive season, not even her awkward situation with estranged husband Mauricio Umansky.
The reality star revealed her plans to spend the blissful holidays with her lovely daughters and her former partner if he feels up to it. He is already in the holiday location anyway.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky decided to separate nearly 18 months ago, although she revealed that they have not had a proper discussion about dissolving their marriage yet.
Kyle Richards Is Unfazed By Mauricio Umansky's Aspen Fling
The reality star has made up her mind to have a good time with her four daughters in the white pearly mountains of Aspen for the holidays, and nothing will change that.
She shared her plans to go skiing with her daughter and added that her estranged husband is welcome to join in the fun, though she did not formally invite the realtor.
Richards is focused on letting her hair down throughout the trip and taking needed time away from reality TV's flashing lights and cameras as she navigates her and Umansky's current separate living arrangement.
Umansky was also spotted getting a sultry kiss from his girlfriend, model Klaudia K, outside a Japanese restaurant in Aspen earlier this week.
While they may have separated about a year and a half ago, TMZ explained that the reality TV couple will remain married in the eyes of the law until they officially begin their divorce process.
Umansky And His Girlfriend Were Spotted Making Purchases In Aspen
The real estate guru is living his best life as a single man, especially as the year prepares to end. A few days ago, he was spotted treating his girlfriend to a good time while they went shopping in Aspen.
Umansky and Klaudia reportedly visited Kebo Sabe, a luxury country-western store in one of the hottest holiday destinations in the world.
The father of four was also recently linked to model Nikita Kahn. Last summer, they were spotted getting hot and heavy on the beaches of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.
Umansky and Kahn were also spotted canoodling in Greece, but their fling did not last long. He has since switched to having fun with a new young blonde, Klaudia.
The Real Estate Mogul Reportedly Had An Affair Before The Recent Kissing Incident
Little wonder Richards was not pressed about Umansky's heavy PDA, as it looked like a path she had been on with him before while they were still a married couple.
As shared by The Blast, rumors of him stepping out on the "RHOBH" star have been a major talking point on the show since it began airing in 2010.
The estranged couple, who tied the knot in 1996 and welcomed four daughters, reportedly experienced an unrepairable crack in their marriage due to a loss of trust after an incident.
Richards and Umansky announced their separation last July, noting that they had a rough year as a married couple. The "RHOBH" star further explained:
"Any claims regarding divorcing are untrue. However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage."
However, the realtor did not move out of their marital home until May this year.
Why Was The Bravo Star Upset With Her Estranged Husband?
When Umansky appeared on "DWTS" alongside his dancing partner, Emma Slater, after he announced his separation, The Blast noted that Richards was there to show support and solidarity.
Things then took a sour tour when Sutton Stracke revealed on Episode 2 of the 14th season of "RHOBH" that Umansky replaced Richard's picture with Slater's photograph.
Stracke discussed it with Kathy Hilton and Erika Jayne on the show, noting that their friend and co-star, Richards, felt very betrayed and hurt by the act.
"I mean, at that point, for me, I'm like, 'Bye, Mauricio.' But I don't think Kyle did that. I just think she was hurt and kind of hopeful. Hurt and hopeful," Stracke said, noting the photo swap would have been the final straw for her if she was in the Richards' shoes.
She also addressed the dating rumors between her estranged husband and Slater on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen."
The TV personality confessed she was unimpressed seeing Umansky and Slater's lovey-dovey pictures. "I was taken aback." Richards began and then added:
"That was very hard to see. Yes, that hurt my feelings... I love him very much, and we are amicable, but that really did hurt me."
Kyle Richards Deleted The 'Wife' Description From Her Instagram Bio
The mom-of-four has shut down all speculations of reconciliation with the businessman by removing "wife" from her bio description in July.
The title previously sandwiched between "mom" and "actor" is now non-existent as she added other descriptions like "Mom, actor, author, producer, animal lover, a RHOBH, CAA." The change comes two months after Richards ditched her estranged husband's last name.
She changed her social media pages from "Kyle Richards Umansky" to "Kyle Richards." The decision reportedly comes after reports on Umansky purchasing a luxury condo in the same building as Matt Damon filled the air.
Whatever happens, Kyle Richards has kicked off her holiday adventure on a swell note!
