From Instant Attraction to a 'Fake' Split? Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky's Relationship Timeline in 13 Photos

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky met at Bootsy Bellows – previously called Bar One – nearly two years after she divorced her first husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.

In a 2021 interview with The Knot, Richards revealed that their kids now go to where they met three decades ago.

"Twenty-seven-plus [years ago]! [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," she recalled.

Umansky popped the question to Richards at Shutters restaurant in Santa Monica, Calif., after hiding his rosebud-shaped ring box in a bouquet of flowers.

Nearly five months after their wedding, Richards gave birth to their first child, Alexia Umansky.

Richards' third and Umansky's second child, Sophia Umansky, arrived days before they celebrated their wedding anniversary.

In an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the cast members talked about Umansky's alleged infidelity. Further details about the speculation were not publicized.

But years later, RHOBH alum Dana Wilkey alleged that Mauricio was having an affair with Dorit Kemsley, but the fashion designer vehemently denied that was the case on social media.

Kemsley further addressed the issue during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live, calling the buzz "gross."

"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," she said.

Umansky debunked the claims that he was divorcing his wife on the "Two T's In a Pod" podcast.

"We're not getting divorced," he said. "I mean it's so dumb. That one stupid story that came out there, and then the girls all, you know, decided to talk about it on the Housewives, and so now it's a storyline."

A few months after the divorce rumors started, sources confirmed to People that they had been separated for a while – though they were still living in the same house.

Richards and Umansky released a joint statement clarifying that the claims were untrue.

In his interview with People after the Dancing With the Stars week three performance, Umansky confirmed that he and Richards are separated but "not throwing in the towel."

A source told Life & Style that Richards and Umansky are only faking their separation to make Season 13 of RHOBH's plotline more interesting.

"If you know Kyle, you know that she just wanted a juicy storyline to save her spot on the Bravo series," the unnamed source said. "She knows what she's doing."
