Kyle Richards didn’t hold back when addressing her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky’s public display of affection with another woman.
On Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the reality star, 56, admitted she was still ‘a little bit shocked’ after seeing the viral photos of Umansky, 54, kissing Nikita Kahn in Mykonos.
‘I have a lot of mixed feelings, that’s why I’m saying I’m just processing it all,’ she confided to her sister Kathy Hilton.
But Kyle, who was recently spotted helping Teddi Mellencamp recover from brain surgery, wasn’t about to stand by and do nothing.
‘I am not going to be sitting here having “wife” on my Instagram bio with him running around with people. Why would I?’ she said, pulling out her phone and promptly deleting the word from her profile.
In a confessional, she admitted that the moment was a turning point.

‘In the past, it’s been hard for me to think about taking “wife” off my bio or my married last name, but the picture changed that for me.’
She also pointed out that Umansky had quietly updated his own Instagram long before she did.
‘He took “husband and father” off his bio and just put “CEO of The Agency,”’ she told Kathy.
‘Why am I going to have that on there still after seeing that? I feel stupid.’
The couple, who announced their separation in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage, share three daughters—Alexia, 28; Sophia, 24; and Portia, 16.
Umansky is also stepfather to Kyle’s eldest daughter, Farrah Aldjufrie, 35, from her first marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.
Kyle’s bio update comes amid persistent rumors about her relationship with country singer Morgan Wade.
Speculation about the pair intensified following Kyle’s split from Umansky, especially after she appeared in Wade’s Fall In Love With Me music video—sharing a steamy bath and even a kiss with the singer.

Though Kyle has repeatedly insisted they are just close friends, she addressed the rumors head-on during the RHOBH reunion finale in March 2024.
When host Andy Cohen asked if she could see herself dating Wade in the future, Kyle gave an unexpectedly open-ended response.
‘I don’t know,’ she said.
She then reflected on her personal transformation:
‘I’m evolving, I’m changing,’ she admitted. ‘I’m clearly going through some evolution of my own, and I don’t know what my future holds right now.’
