Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky may have just celebrated the holidays in Aspen with their family, but are they back together, as a recent rumor suggested?
Following a report in which it was alleged that the 56-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her realtor spouse, 55, enjoyed a “touchy and warm” outing at Kate Hudson and Cade Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party, an insider is shutting down rumors of a potential reconciliation.
“They are not getting back together or rekindling their romance,” a source told Us Weekly on January 6. “[But there’s] still so much love between them [and they’re] in a really good place right now.”
“Kyle and Mau have done a good job maintaining normalcy in front of the girls especially during the holiday season,” the source explained, noting that the ex-couple, who split in 2023 after 27 years of marriage, spent the holidays together for their kids.
In addition to sharing Alexia Umansky, 29, Sophia Umansky, 25, and Portia Umansky, 17, Mauricio also played a big role in the life of Kyle’s oldest daughter, Farrah Aldjufrie, 37.
“The girls aren’t pushing [a romantic reunion] either,” the insider continued. “Of course it would be great if they called off their separation, but the family knows it’s most likely not going to happen.”
Rather than aim for a reconciliation, Kyle and Mauricio have made an effort to maintain their friendship while living separately — and seeing other people.
“They are genuinely friends right now and still have so much fun together,” the source said. “They have been loving towards one another but that doesn’t mean they are getting back together.”
Still, the insider went on, “everyone” in their lives “loves the dynamic right now.”
“Everyone is very happy. They have come a long way and are back in a good place,” the source added.
As RHOBH fans may have seen, Sophia shared a video on TikTok after Christmas in which Kyle and Mauricio were seen sitting next to each other in a dimly lit room and enjoying a movie.
“My parents watching their little movie and eating their little popcorn on the floor like little kids,” she captioned the clip.
“Stop it. They’re our babies,” Alexia replied.
Then, days later, an insider suggested that Kyle and Mauricio appeared to be back on at Kate’s New Year’s Eve bash.
“They were really enjoying one another’s company. They had their arms around one another and were very touchy and warm with one another all night,” an eyewitness told Page Six on January 1. “They were very obviously together and wanting to spend the party by one another’s side. If you didn’t know they had split up, you would presume they were still happily married.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 airs Thursdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
