Kyle Richards Still Clinging to Hope for Mauricio Amid Their Split
Kyle Richards, the star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” is feeling more than a little torn over her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky. In a recent episode, she opened up about her struggles to move on after their separation, which was confirmed back in July. Despite Mauricio stepping back into the dating scene and enjoying life, Kyle is left grappling with a slew of emotions, including anxiety and impatience about the future. “He goes and lives his life… I’ve kind of been just working,” she admitted during a heart-to-heart with her therapist, revealing a growing sense of longing for what once was.
Ever the nuanced storyteller, Kyle shared her fears of venturing into new relationships. “What if he’s like, ‘I went and sowed my wild oats, and now I want to come back?’” we can’t blame her for contemplating this — after all, the reality of divorce can be daunting, especially when she describes feeling like she’d end up a “single mom” like her own mother. In her world, sticking it out in a marriage was a badge of honor, something not lost on her as she reflected on how much she valued their lengthy partnership.
But things took a deeper turn when Kyle revealed a particularly emotional conversation with Mauricio, where he expressed he was afraid he couldn’t be on his own, rather than fearing life without her. That certainly hits hard! After what felt like a waiting game from him during their struggles, Kyle expressed her sadness over the lack of fight from Mauricio, stating, “If he didn’t want to fight for me, or if he wanted to and didn’t know how. Either way, he didn’t.”
After the tumultuous ups and downs they’ve faced, it’s clear the couple is still navigating uncharted waters even as they live separately now. With Mauricio now officially out of their shared home in favor of a West Hollywood abode, fans can only wonder if this separation is a stepping stone toward reconciliation or a definitive end. As they continually juggle their family dynamics with both public scrutiny and personal heartache, we’re left eagerly flipping through the pages of this ever-evolving reality saga.
“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” continues to air Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo, where we’re sure more drama is on the way!
