Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky, once considered one of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ most solid couples, are facing the emotional and legal complexities of ending their marriage.
Although they officially separated in October 2023, the divorce remains unfinished, and according to sources close to the couple, the situation has been emotionally taxing and legally tangled.
An insider revealed that the divorce has been “hanging over their heads for a long time”, not because they haven’t tried to move forward, but because their assets are so deeply intertwined.
Unraveling their shared financial empire — which includes real estate, businesses, and years of marital earnings — has become a significant obstacle, preventing them from “getting through it” and finalizing the split.
A Health Crisis Brings Complicated Feelings
Despite their estrangement, Kyle Richard’s emotional connection to Mauricio was put on full display recently when he suffered a skiing accident, fracturing his collarbone.
Mauricio shared a vulnerable moment from the hospital on Instagram, posting a photo in bed and writing,
“Let’s get this surgery done so I can heal. Play hard, sometimes you get hurt but the care here has been incredible.”
In a surprising show of care, Kyle rushed to be by his side — a move that, according to the insider, revealed the lingering emotional ties between them.
Kyle’s willingness to show up for Mauricio in a vulnerable moment suggests that fully detaching — emotionally and physically — has been harder than either expected.

Emotionally Stuck: Why They Can’t Fully Let Go
According to the source, the divorce feels extremely “final” to both of them — which is part of why it’s been dragging on.
“There’s some part of each of them that’s struggled to fully let go,” the insider explained.
Even though the love may have changed, that sense of finality is daunting, especially after sharing a long marriage, children, and countless public moments together.

The skiing accident reportedly stirred up some old feelings, but despite that, the source made it clear:
“There is no chance they are getting back together.”
The emotional tug is real, but reconciliation is not on the table. Both Kyle and Mauricio know it’s time to close this chapter.
Still Acting Like a Family — For Now
Interestingly, while they’re separated, the pair has continued to maintain a united front as a family. They still spend time together on occasion, participating in family activities — a testament to their desire to preserve a sense of normalcy, especially for their children.
However, the source emphasized that this arrangement isn’t sustainable long-term.
