Kyle Richards arrived in Aspen on Sunday looking deep in thought as she geared up to reunite with her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky in the posh ski town.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 55, donned a stylish animal-print ensemble and cowboy hat, her tense expression revealing that just days earlier, Mauricio had been photographed kissing model Klaudia K outside a restaurant.
Despite reportedly being 'heartbroken' over the new romance, Kyle put on a brave face as she strolled around the Colorado getaway, even walking her dog through the quaint town.
But the mood shifted when she later reunited with Mauricio, and in photos obtained by TMZ, the pair were seen walking the dog together, deep in conversation, with her frown turned upside down.
At one point, the real estate mogul even wrapped his arms around her waist, per the outlet, a public display of affection that was hard to miss.
This PDA comes on the heels of Kyle, who split from Mauricio in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage, being spotted enjoying lunch with his parents and their daughters — a stark contrast to the images of Mauricio smooching Klaudia K.

Hours before Kyle’s Aspen outing, a source told Page Six that she was 'particularly heartbroken' by Mauricio’s kiss in the place that holds so many memories for the couple.
'Kyle and Mau have a family home in Aspen. They've traveled there countless times with their children, so it's a place that has a lot of meaning for her,' the insider said.
The source added that, while the pair are handling the split better than expected, 'it’s still a difficult time for Kyle.'
Her emotional reaction came after the 54-year-old Mauricio was photographed locking lips with 33-year-old Klaudia K, who happens to be just five years older than their eldest daughter, Alexa.
The kiss came just a week after Mauricio’s breakup with Nikita Kahn, who reportedly ended things with him.
Meanwhile, Kyle threw shade at Maurico's midlife crisis on the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills After Show which streamed on Tuesday night.
She said: 'I would say this to his face — which I actually have — but kind of watching how he's been navigating through this situation there's been times I thought "Oh this is giving major midlife crisis vibes."
'All the way down to a car he bought for our house in Aspen that I just call the "midlife crisis mobile."'

Mauricio's outing comes after a devastating detail regarding his and Kyle's contentious split surfaced on a recent RHOBH episode.
She was married to Umansky from 1996 until their split in 2023, though they still share a home together.
They are parents to three daughters: Alexia, 28; Sophia, 24; and Portia, 16.
He is also stepfather to Kyle's daughter Farrah Aldjufrie, 35, from her first marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.
During the show, Kyle revealed that Mauricio had swapped out a photo of him and Kyle with a photo of him and his Dancing With the Stars partner from Season 32, Emma Slater.
The housewives were stunned by this story, and so were fans, who wasted no time in taking to social media to bash Umansky.
Umansky and Slater had tongues wagging in October 2023 when they were spotted holding hands after dinner.
The duo quickly shut down dating rumors, chalking it up to friendship — but the gossip train didn’t stop there.
At one point, the real estate mogul even wrapped his arms around her waist, per the outlet, a public display of affection that was hard to miss

Not long after the speculation cooled, Mauricio turned up the heat with a passionate airport kiss in Greece, locking lips with 33-year-old actress Nikita.
By August, the romance was in full swing as the pair indulged in a luxe getaway at the One&Only Mandarina resort near Puerto Vallarta.
Nikita, the Ukrainian-born stunner, flaunted her toned abs in an orange triangle bikini top paired with seafoam green string bottoms, her highlighted blonde hair swept into a chic high bun.
Makeup-free and glowing, she was a vision of effortless beachside glam.
Their love story seems to have started earlier in the summer when they were first spotted canoodling on the sands of Mykonos in July.
Walking hand-in-hand toward the waves, the duo oozed chemistry, leaving little doubt that Mauricio was savoring his newly single status.
In May, Kyle confirmed publicly that Mauricio had moved out of their home in Encino, California, and into a West Hollywood bachelor pad.
She confessed that this change was very challenging at times, especially when it came to filming.

'Shooting scenes after he moved out was very difficult,' Kyle said to Us Weekly.
'We were catching up in front of the cameras, so emotions were raw. He would check on me, and I was just a mess sometimes,' she added.
Meanwhile, Kyle has sparked rumors of a budding romance with country singer Morgan Wade.
The Halloween actress and Wade have been spending time together, fueling speculation with their undeniable chemistry and matching tattoos.
