In July 2023, it was revealed Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, were separating after 27 years of marriage.

"In regards to the news that came out about us today... Any claims regarding divorcing are untrue," they both shared to Instagram at the time. "However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously."

Adding “there has been no wrongdoing on anyone's part,” the estranged pair acknowledged they needed to “work through” their issues privately. “While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative,” they concluded prior to thanking fans for their love and support.

Since then, Umansky has been spotted kissing different women and seems to be moving on with his life.

As for Richards, there has been a ton of speculation about her and Wade, who she became friends with in 2022.

Kyle Richards separated from Mauricio Umansky in July 2023.

After announcing her separation from Umansky, Richards shut down fodder about her and Wade in July 2023, insisting the stars were simply good friends.

The next month, the pair did more to fuel the rumor mill when Richards starred in Wade’s music video for her song “Fall In Love With Me.” In the clip, Richards stars as a homeowner fantasizing about having a relationship with her neighbor Wade. The video was very salacious, going so far as to show the duo kissing.

Regardless of all of the chatter, Richards and Wade insist they're just friends. Interestingly, Kesha also knows Wade and Richards are chummy as well.

"Kesha and Morgan ended up doing a song together, 'Walked on Water,' the song Morgan wrote," Richards shared. "It's such a beautiful song."
