It’s already been about a year since Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky made the surprising (at the time) announcement that they were separating after 27 years of marriage.
A lot can happen in a year. However, aside from Mauricio moving out of his and Kyle’s Beverly Hills mansion, they’ve seemingly stayed pretty involved in each other’s lives. Both fans and their Real Housewives of Beverly Hills castmates alike have expressed confusion about Kyle and Mauricio’s reluctance to make the final call.
Now, a source has revealed that Kyle and Mau plan to continue taking their time figuring things out. Getting divorced is not a priority right now.
Source: “Going through a separation has been challenging enough” for Kyle and Mauricio
A few months ago, Kyle made it clear that she, Mauricio, and their four daughters planned to stay close. Just last week, they all came together and celebrated Mau’s birthday.
According to a source who recently spoke to PEOPLE, Kyle and Mau do want to move forward as their own people. However, they’re still trying to find the right balance for their family.
The source explained that the two are “working on how to establish their individual lives while remaining connected as a family.”
The insider continued, “After being in a routine for decades, they have had a lot to figure out while navigating their new normal. Going through a separation has been challenging enough that no one is rushing to get a divorce.”
Many have wondered if there were other reasons for Kyle and Mau’s reluctance to divorce. They didn’t sign a prenup when they got married. Now, they have a significant amount of wealth and assets that would need to be divided.
Others speculated that Kyle wants to continue using the situation as an RHOBH storyline. At any rate, it looks like whatever they’re doing seems to be working for them!
Filming for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is currently underway. Season 14 is expected to premiere on Bravo in late 2024 or early 2025.
