Recently, Mauricio Umansky – real estate entrepreneur and husband of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards – has become the center of attention after being seen with a much younger model, 22 years his junior. This new romance has sparked widespread speculation, especially following Mauricio and Kyle’s separation in mid-2023 after 27 years of marriage.
After years of being one of The Real Housewives’ most stable couples, Mauricio and Kyle shocked fans in July 2023 by announcing their separation. While they insisted they remained on good terms and had not yet filed for divorce, both have since made significant changes in their personal lives.

In December 2024, 54-year-old Mauricio was spotted hand-in-hand with a young model at an upscale restaurant in Aspen, Colorado. Soon after, intimate photos of the two embracing and kissing surfaced online. According to sources, Mauricio’s new girlfriend is a rising model in the fashion industry, known for her striking looks and friendly personality.
Their public appearance quickly caught the attention of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans. Although Mauricio has not officially commented on the relationship, the affectionate images between him and the young model have fueled speculation.
Kyle Richards, 55, has since shared her thoughts on her ex-husband’s new romance. In a recent interview, she admitted that seeing Mauricio move on with someone new wasn’t easy for her.
"Of course, it stings a little. We were together for so long and shared so many memories. But I also understand that life moves forward, and we both deserve to find happiness in our own ways."
While Kyle acknowledged the emotional difficulty, she emphasized that she would not let it dictate her decisions. She confirmed that she and Mauricio still maintain a good relationship, especially for the sake of their children.
A close source revealed that while Mauricio seems to be enjoying his new relationship, he actually has mixed feelings about the future. According to one of his friends, he is "very sad and conflicted" about the situation because he believes this relationship may not last.
"Mauricio isn’t someone who moves on too quickly. He’s still adjusting to life after Kyle. While he seems happy on the outside, I think deep down, he has a lot on his mind."
Some of Mauricio’s friends have also shared that he is somewhat skeptical about the long-term potential of this romance. "He knows that dating someone so much younger may not provide the same stability as his marriage with Kyle. But for now, maybe he just wants to experience something different."
Although they have not officially filed for divorce, it’s clear that both Kyle and Mauricio are moving in separate directions. Kyle is focusing on personal projects and family life, while Mauricio explores new romantic possibilities.
But the big question remains—will Mauricio truly find happiness in this new relationship, or is this just a temporary phase after a 27-year marriage? And is Kyle genuinely ready to let go of the past and embrace a fresh start?
Only time will tell. But one thing is certain: Mauricio and Kyle’s love lives will continue to capture public interest for the foreseeable future.
