Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE at the “An Unforgettable Evening” charity event held in Los Angeles on March 11, Kyle revealed that she is currently embracing single life. The 57-year-old reality star stated, “All I do is work,” indicating a strong focus on her career in the aftermath of her separation. She emphasised her excitement about her production company, House of 18, which has several television projects in development. In addition to her production work, Richards has continued to act, recently appearing in the Netflix series “Lincoln Lawyer,” among other projects.
Despite her busy schedule, Kyle is open to the idea of finding love again in the future. In an earlier interview, she expressed a desire to marry once more, noting, “I mean, listen, I’m someone who really enjoys being married. So I won’t be single my whole life.” This perspective showcases her hopeful outlook as she navigates her new status.
In a recent episode of “RHOBH” that aired on December 11, Kyle disclosed that she has indeed entered a new relationship, having “fallen hard for” someone after her separation from Mauricio. However, she chose to keep this relationship private, stating that she wished to honour her former partner’s request for privacy. She explained, “When I’m in love with somebody, I want to share that. I’m an open person like that,” but acknowledged that her partner might not share the same desire for openness.
Though she did not disclose the identity of her new partner, there has been speculation surrounding a romantic connection with singer Morgan Wade, particularly after Richards appeared in Wade’s music video for the song “Fall in Love with Me.” This development has captured the interest of fans and the media alike, as it suggests a new chapter for the reality star.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Umansky, 55, has also been adjusting to life as a single man following their split. He has openly discussed his new dating adventures and mentioned that his daughters have been offering him guidance in this area. “The biggest advice that they give from their perspective is: ‘Dad, we want you to be happy,'” he noted, while highlighting their concern for him to date someone appropriate for his age.
As both Kyle and Mauricio navigate their separate lives, they continue to prioritise their family. The couple shares three daughters: Alexia, 29, Sophia, 26, and 18-year-old Portia Umansky, alongside Kyle’s daughter, Farrah Brittany, from her previous marriage. Their commitment to maintaining an amicable relationship for the sake of their children has been a central theme in their post-separation journey.
Moving forward, it appears that both Kyle and Mauricio are keen to embrace their new identities and the opportunities that single life presents. Kyle’s busy work schedule and growing production company may keep her occupied, but her willingness to pursue love again suggests a hopeful future ahead. Similarly, Mauricio’s foray back into the dating scene is likely to be supported by the love and advice of his family.
In summary, while Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky are charting new paths separately, they remain committed to their family and appear to be finding their footing in this new phase of life. With Kyle focused on her career and both parties exploring new romantic possibilities, fans of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” will undoubtedly be eager to see how their stories unfold in the future.
