Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky are going through yet another bout of rumors about their relationship—only, these ones seem to have some validity. The couple has been together for 29 years (coming up on 30!) and is going through "a rough year" that they describe as the "most challenging one" of their marriage.

[Mauricio] thought I was Demi Moore's sister—and I had actually been told that [before]—so he worked up the courage to come over and say hello, thinking that I was her sister."

Kyle opens up about making things work with Mauricio after over two decades of marriage.
“I met my husband at 23 years old and you change a lot during those times,” she tells Us Weekly. “You know, you hit forks in the road—I think they say you change every seven years? I don’t know, I think it’s probably less than that—but you hit a fork in the road and you can either go together on that road or you see things differently and you go on different roads.”
She adds, “We’ve always been on the same page with our goals and our morals and how we want to raise our children and what we want out of life, so that’s made it easier. But, I mean, he was a kid and now he’s a man. I was a kid too and I’m a woman… but we’ve really allowed each other to be ourselves and support each other through that because that’s a big part of it.”

She adds, “We posted a picture in Aspen together and somebody wrote in the comments, ‘I’m so glad to see all the rumors aren’t true.’ And [Mauricio] looked at me and he said, ‘What are they talking [about in] this comment?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know. Let’s Google.’ We were like, ‘What?’ And then, like, a week later, people were texting me [and saying], ‘I hope everything’s okay. I was like, ‘Oh, my God.’”

Mid-August 2022
RHOBH alum Dana Wilkey posts a theory on Instagram that Dorit Kemsley is having an affair with Mauricio, writing, “The fans can’t stop talking about this! Thoughts?”
Dorit hits back in the comments section, writing, “Is something wrong with you woman? Or are you just so miserable in your life you have nothing better to do? You’re definitely one of the thirstiest people I’ve ever seen, I guess it’s just as simple as that? 🤷🏼♀️ Kyle and Mau are our friends and my kids call them uncle and auntie. Do you think this is ok for my kids to see when it’s a disgusting lie? If this is the only way you can make a buck then so be it but at least have some decency and stop trying to peddle false narratives especially when you know there is ZERO truth behind it and your whole motive is to just hurt people for no reason. It’s sad, pathetic and bound to bite you in the ass inevitably.”
September 21, 2022
Dorit goes on Watch What Happens Live and speaks about the affair rumors, saying, “I mean, what do you think I feel? Honey, listen, when something is so ridiculous, you just kind of discount it. It’s something that sticks a chord only because Mau, PK, Kyle and I, we’re friends together and it is such a nothing and to have someone start those vile rumors, it’s gross.”

So there’s definitely some stories out there, and Kyle and I address it and we’ll take it from there. It is what it is.”
He adds, “They really brought it up to Kyle, which is kind of bitchy and super mean because, particularly the girls, they actually know what’s going on and they know exactly what it’s all about.”
April 19, 2023
After being photographed without her wedding ring, Kyle tells Page Six, "It started all from a stupid picture of me without a ring on. (A) I haven’t been wearing my big diamond ring, because there’s a lot of crime these days and I’m like, ‘I’m not comfortable.' And (B) I had just come from the gym lifting weights, so I was like, ‘That thing sparked that?’ I don’t know.”

The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone's part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative. Thank you for the love and support, Kyle & Mauricio."
Meanwhile, Medium Allison enters the chat with, "My phone is blowing up from reporters now that Kyle and Mauricio have separated. So, here’s my comment 'I don’t wish Kyle ill, I hope she finds what she’s looking for. I guess I’m the only one who 'saw' this coming. People kept telling me I was picking up on Camille’s divorce NOT Kyle (Okay, you arm chair psychics can sit down now).' Mic drop."

Kyle opens up about her and Mauricio's statement during an Amazon Live, saying "We made a point to say that divorce is not being discussed. It's weird to have to acknowledge to millions of strangers that you're having problems. It would be nice to be able to work through issues in your life without everybody kind of watching and weighing in on it, but when that article came out we didn't really have the choice, so that's why we wrote that on our Instagram and posted that."
She also chats about being spotted without her ring:
