Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards burst into tears onstage at BravoCon last week when the subject of her separation from Mauricio Umansky came up.
“This is not my idea of my fairy tale, clearly,” she said, wiping away tears. The mom of four daughters also mentioned that “a lot of people” are urging her to “fix everything” with Mauricio and “pull it together.”
“Obviously, that’s what I want,” she said, her voice choked by tears.
Hurtful rumors of infidelity
Kyle and Mo announced in July 2023 that they were separating after 27 years of marriage. While there was no specific reason for the split at the time, the couple stressed that there was no “wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
“We both love and respect each other tremendously,” they said in the joint statement.
Not long after the announcement, however, rumors arose that Kyle was in a romantic relationship with country singer Morgan Wade, even though they maintain that they’re “just very good friends.”
A steamy music video muddies the waters
Amid speculation that Kyle and Morgan were “more than just friends,” Morgan’s new music video dropped in August. The video, filmed months earlier, fanned the flames of a lesbian romance. Kyle said she had the support of her family prior to filming, so there were no surprises there.
“My family knew I was making the video before I made the video,” she shared.
RHOBH co-star Dorit Kemsley chimed in and explained that Kyle filmed the video well before she and Mo announced their separation.
“She filmed the video beforehand,” Dorit clarified. “It just was bad timing.”
Kyle has previously spoken about how difficult the public separation from Mauricio has been. “It’s playing out with so many people having eyes on us,” she said in August.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills continues Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
