Anitta is opening up about that viral ski trip with Mauricio Umansky.
The Brazilian singer, 31, and Umansky, 54, made headlines in December 2023 after they shared photos and videos via Instagram of them enjoying a vacation with YouTuber Lele Pons in Aspen, Colorado. At the time, Umansky filmed Anitta and Pons, 28, hitting the slopes in just a white towel.
“I knew this was coming!” Anitta said on the Thursday, March 13, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen when she was quizzed about the viral moment.
“Anyways, he’s a great person, I love Mauricio,” Anitta continued, adding that she met Umansky on the Aspen trip.
As for her unorthodox skiwear, Anitta explained, “Lele’s crazy and I just say yes to the craziness.”
Host Andy Cohen then grilled Anitta on whether she is still in touch with Umansky, who separated from his wife, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, in July 2023.
“We always talk. We became very good friends,” the singer said. Cohen then emphasized, “Very good friends?” Anitta responded, “No, we became good friends.”
Cohen went on to ask, “He’s single, anything romantic?” Anitta denied that there was anything romantic between her and Umansky.
Back in December 2023, Anitta shared a video of Umansky dancing shirtless in a bar via her Instagram Story. Umansky also played videographer on the trip as he filmed Anitta and Pons hitting the ski slopes in nothing but a towel. (Pons and Umansky competed on the same season of Dancing With the Stars earlier that year.)
At the time, Richards, 56, denied that her estranged husband and Anitta were dating. “That’s not true,” Richards told the Daily Mail, adding that Umansky was “allowed to do what he wants.”
Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that Richards and Umansky had separated after 27 years of marriage. The two addressed their split in a joint social media statement that same month.
“We have had a rough year,” they wrote, in part, at the time. “The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately.”
