LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills' star Kyle Richards and her real estate broker husband Mauricio Umansky's divorce speculations recently swirled on the internet. However, Mauricio put the record straight with his latest Instagram post.
The couple had been married for around 27 years but a new report claimed that Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof on amicable terms. Kyle and Mauricio first met back in 1994 and got engaged later that year. They eventually tied the knot in January 1996 and went on to welcome three daughters, Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. Kyle is also the mother of 34-year-old Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie.
