As A RHOBH Fan, I'm So Over The Mauricio And Kyle Richards Drama: Here's Why

Summary

• Fans have seen the highs and lows of Kyle and Mauricio's marriage on RHOBH since Season 1.
• Kyle admitted to separation with Mauricio, sparking rumors of a divorce that never happened.
• Fans are now tired of the back and forth drama and want Kyle to be honest about her new chapter.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have been a part of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since Season 1. Throughout 13 seasons, Bravo fans have seen the ups and downs of their relationship. From raising four daughters to starting a real estate business to battling cheating rumors, Kyle and Mauricio have always defended each other and remained in each other's corners.

That was until Season 13. Kyle couldn't hide the cracks in her marriage anymore and admitted she and Mauricio were separated. Many felt the separation was just a storyline for the show, but as time went on, it proved itself real. At the time, the two didn't talk about divorce, but as their separation continued, divorce appeared inevitable. Originally, the breakup was heartbreaking to RHOBH fans. However, now their tainted romance has run its course and the back and forth has become stale to many viewers.

Kyle Richards And Mauricio Umansky's Separation Has Run Its Course

In July 2024, Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky shared a joint statement on Instagram about the direction of their marriage. "Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue," the couple wrote. "However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously." Kyle and Mauricio squashed rumors and said there was "no wrongdoing" on either part, but the two focused on prioritizing their marriage.

While reality TV fans mourned their relationship and hoped for the best, wishful thinking and prayers soon ran their course for a variety of reasons.

Kyle Richards has a net worth of $100 million.

• In 2022, Kyle became friends with up-and-coming country music singer Morgan Wade. Their close bond instantly made fans question the true nature of their relationship. Kyle has plenty of friends, but she hung out with Morgan consistently, and their body language made it appear they were more than just friends. In 2023, rumors swirled when Kyle was in Morgan's music video "Fall In Love With Me." The women kissed passionately in the video. Between Morgan's lyrics, the kiss, and the two traveling together during her divorce, fans and family demanded answers.
• During Season 13's reunion, host Andy Cohen pressed Kyle about the nature of their friendship: were they or weren't they dating? According to USA Today, Kyle stumbled on her responses. She said she never pursued a romantic relationship with Morgan but that she loved her. Cohen pressed further if something would ever happen between the two. Kyle had a hard time answering.

I don't know. I'm evolving, I'm changing. I'm clearly going through some evolution of my own and I don't know what the future holds.

• Even more frustrating for fans, Kyle wouldn't say the reason for the demise of her marriage. She felt lonely after the death of her best friend, and things spiraled when Mauricio wasn't there for her. Reality Tea reported that Kyle shared that she had trust issues with Mauricio, without divulging what broke her trust. The dishonesty about what happened in their union rattled fans.
• Between Kyle's dismissive answers about what broke the camel's back in her marriage to her unique bond with Morgan, fans grew even more tired of all of the dating rumors that involved Mauricio. Page Six shocked everyone when photos were released of Mauricio holding hands with Emma Slater from Dancing With the Stars. Later, countless videos followed on TikTok of Mauricio partying at different clubs with younger women. In the summer of 2024, Mauricio was seen kissing a model in the airport. The photos of Mauricio kissing another woman were the nails in the coffin for Kyle. Shortly after the photos emerged, Kyle deleted "Wife" from her social media bios.

Fans grew tired of the highs and lows of their separation. Primarily because direct answers weren't being given. Kyle never admitted to dating Morgan (although Kyle travels with Morgan for her shows) and Mauricio acted like the family was working through their issues but had clearly moved on.

As sad as it is, fans are ready for the two to pull the plug on their marriage and be honest about their situation. Ok! Magazine reported a source close to Kyle shared that she is "more than ready to divorce." Their divorce will inevitably be a powerful one in the tabloids considering the two didn't sign a prenup when they married in 1996.

Season 14 Needs To Show More Of Kyle Richards' Single Life

The only way for fans to move on from the Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky drama is for Kyle to be authentic and genuine about her new life as a single mother of four. Her sobriety journey, dating, anguish against Mauricio, and relationships with her sisters are all things that should be explored in the new season.

The uncertainty of their marriage was a storyline on RHOBH for so many seasons that it's now old. Focusing on the new journeys in their lives — and how they co-parent their four daughters — is an important next step for the series that fans deserve to see.

More importantly, although Kyle has denied a romantic relationship with singer Morgan Wade, fans want an honest update on their relationship. After all, Kyle joined the reality TV series to showcase her lavish and blunt reality.

As an original, iconic Housewife, Kyle Richards deserves a happy and fulfilled second chapter in her life.
