Kyle Richards is grappling with heartache after discovering photos of her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky locking lips with model Klaudia K in Aspen. Sources reveal that the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 55, felt especially wounded upon seeing images of Umansky, 54, kissing Klaudia, 33, following a cozy sushi dinner date on a Tuesday night.
An insider describes the emotional toll it has taken on Richards, noting that “seeing Mau kiss that woman in Aspen—where he and Kyle created countless memories together as a couple—is particularly painful.” The couple has a family home in Aspen, a place they have visited numerous times with their children, making it deeply significant for Richards.
This holiday season marks their first apart since revealing their separation in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage. They share three daughters—Alexia, 28, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16—and Richards has a daughter, Farrah, from a previous relationship. The emotional weight of the situation is compounded by the fact that this is a Christmas season fraught with new beginnings for both.
Though it’s not the first time Umansky has been seen with another woman, this particular occasion has been especially tough for Richards, who is still processing her feelings. Back in May, Umansky moved into a luxury condominium in West Hollywood, further highlighting their changed circumstances.
“It’s been a lot for her to take in,” the source continues. “Kyle and Mau are handling their new reality better than most, but it’s undeniably strenuous.” The ongoing separation has been particularly challenging as they navigate co-parenting their daughters amid this tumultuous period.
Adding to the complexity, Umansky was recently coming out of a relationship with actress Nikita Kahn before his public display of affection with Klaudia K. The split appears to have happened just days before Umansky’s new romance blossomed, signaling a swift transition from one relationship to another.
Reps for both Richards and Umansky did not respond to requests for comments on the situation. As Richards copes with the revelations, her journey through this heartbreak will undoubtedly be watched closely by fans and followers alike.
