Real Housewives of Beverly Hills husband Mauricio Umansky just hard launched his new relationship. On Thursday, June 18, paparazzi (which he probably called, let’s be real) took pictures of the Buying Beverly Hills star kissing a mystery woman in Greece. The pictures were initially posted by TMZ. A few hours later, DeuxMoi revealed that the new woman in Mauricio’s life is named Nikita Kahn.
This news comes over a year after Mauricio and Kyle Richards announced their separation. The estranged spouses were married for 23 years. Both Mo and Kyle remained mum on the reasons for the split. Kyle even said it’s nobody’s business. But she said Mauricio did something she couldn’t forgive. Many assumed this meant he cheated.
Last year, there were dating rumors about Mauricio and his Dancing with the Stars partner Emma Slater. Especially after they were photographed holding hands. But Emma insisted they were just friends. However, the PDA paparazzi photos of him and Nikita left little room for speculation. So, now that Mauricio has officially moved on, who is the new woman in his life?
How old is Nikita Kahn?
Though her exact birth date is unknown, Nikita is reportedly 33 years old. She was born Iryna Osipova in Ukraine in 1991. She graduated from Kyiv National University of Trade and Economics with a degree in Business Administration.
Meanwhile, to save you a Google search, Mauricio just turned 54 (and celebrated his birthday with Kyle). That’s not an insignificant age difference. Especially considering that Mauricio helped raise Kyle’s daughter from her first marriage, Farrah, who is 36. However, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers also pointed out Kyle’s age difference with her rumored new partner, 29-year-old country singer Morgan Wade.
What does Nikita Kahn do for a living?
When DeuxMoi first revealed Nikita’s identity, they referred to her as an actress, model, and entrepreneur. Nikita’s IMDb page says her first acting role was in the 2011 movie Catch 44, which starred Bruce Willis. Her most recent credit is an upcoming movie called Crescent City, where she appears alongside Alec Baldwin.
Nikita’s modeled for magazines like InStyle Greece and GENZO. And she attends high fashion events, like the Stella McCartney show at Paris Fashion Week, as well as the 2024 Fashion LA Awards.
According to her Instagram, Nikita is also the founder of an interior design studio called Solagio. Her work as an interior designer appeared in multiple issues of Miami Living. Could this mean she and Mauricio met through the Los Angeles real estate industry?
Nikita also has a history of philanthropy, specifically with animal rights issues. She’s a board member of the Peninsula Humane Society. In 2016, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park opened the Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center. The following year, she produced a documentary called The Last Animals. Nikita also frequently posts about animal rights issues on her Instagram.
Who did Nikita date before Mauricio Umansky?
According to Briefly, Nikita was formerly in a relationship with tech billionaire Larry Ellison. The co-founder and former CEO of Oracle, his net worth is estimated to be $130 billion. The relationship reportedly began in 2010, when she was 19 years old, and Larry was 66.
During their relationship, the two attended high-profile events like Wimbledon, major movie premieres, and the 2015 White House dinner for President Xi. In 2013, Larry opened a restaurant in Malibu that he named after her. While Larry was married and divorced four times before dating Nikita, it appears the former couple never wed.
It’s unclear when Nikita and Larry Ellison split. While they weren’t photographed at public events as much, The Sun reported that they were still together in early 2023.
How did Kyle Richards react to the news about Mauricio and Nikita?
Although it’s been a year since their split, Kyle and Mauricio are reportedly not in a rush to divorce. Their marriage has been a major part of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since Season 1. So, viewers were naturally curious how Kyle would react to the pictures of Mauricio and Nikita. After the news broke, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Kyle removed the word “wife” from her bio on Instagram. This comes after she previously removed the “Umansky” from her username.
The same day that Mauricio and Nikita’s kissing pictures came out, Kyle made an Instagram post to celebrate two years of sobriety. Her choice to stop drinking, and to adopt a healthier lifestyle, was covered on RHOBH last season. We’ll have to wait and see if Mauricio’s new romance comes up in Season 15.
