In a dramatic twist that has sent shockwaves through the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fanbase, Kyle Richards has publicly denied explosive rumors claiming she demanded a staggering $25,000 per month in alimony from her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky. The reality star, who has been at the center of countless headlines in recent months, broke her silence on the allegations, firmly denying any such demands while also dropping a bombshell revelation: her divorce proceedings with Mauricio are nearing their final stages.
Speaking out for the first time since the rumors surfaced, Kyle addressed the speculation head-on. “I have never asked for $25,000 a month in alimony from Mauricio,” she stated firmly in an exclusive interview. “These accusations are completely false, and it’s disappointing to see such baseless claims being circulated. Mauricio and I are working through this process respectfully, and that’s what matters to me.”
The denial comes amid swirling rumors about the couple’s split, which has been the subject of intense scrutiny ever since whispers of marital trouble began circulating earlier this year. Kyle and Mauricio, who have been married for 27 years and share four daughters, were once considered one of the strongest couples in the Real Housewives franchise. However, their recent separation has left fans reeling, with speculation about financial settlements and custody arrangements dominating the headlines.
Adding fuel to the fire, insiders close to the couple have claimed that the divorce proceedings have been anything but smooth. “While Kyle and Mauricio are trying to keep things amicable, there have been disagreements over financial matters,” a source revealed. “But the $25,000 alimony rumor is completely untrue. Kyle has her own successful career and doesn’t need to rely on Mauricio financially.”
Despite these reassurances, the rumor mill has continued to churn. Some fans have speculated that the alimony claims are part of a larger narrative to paint Kyle in a negative light as the divorce saga unfolds. Others have pointed to Mauricio’s immense real estate empire—he is the founder and CEO of The Agency, one of the most prestigious real estate firms in the world—and questioned how the couple’s assets will be divided.
However, Kyle’s latest revelation about the divorce proceedings being “almost complete” has added a new layer of intrigue to the story. While she refrained from sharing specific details, her comments suggest the couple is close to finalizing the terms of their split. “This has been an emotional and challenging time for both of us, but we’re focused on moving forward and doing what’s best for our family,” Kyle said.
Fans of RHOBH have taken to social media to express their shock and sadness over the ongoing drama. One fan wrote, “I never thought I’d see the day when Kyle and Mauricio would split. They were the ultimate power couple!” Another commented, “If Kyle says the $25,000 rumor is false, I believe her. She’s always been a strong, independent woman and doesn’t need anyone’s money.”
Meanwhile, Mauricio has remained largely silent on the matter, choosing not to publicly address the alimony rumors or the status of the divorce. Sources close to him insist that he is focused on maintaining a positive relationship with Kyle for the sake of their daughters. “Mauricio has a lot of respect for Kyle and wants to handle this as gracefully as possible,” an insider shared. “They’ve built a beautiful life together, and even though things didn’t work out, they’ll always be connected through their family.”
As the divorce drama unfolds, many are wondering how it will be portrayed on the upcoming season of RHOBH. Kyle’s personal life has always been a major storyline on the show, and fans are eager to see whether her split from Mauricio will take center stage. Some have even speculated that the tension surrounding the divorce could lead to explosive confrontations with her fellow cast members, particularly as rumors about her friendship with country music star Morgan Wade continue to swirl.
For now, Kyle appears determined to put the rumors to rest and focus on the next chapter of her life. “I’m at a point where I want to move forward with positivity and grace,” she said. “There’s so much more to life than the gossip and drama, and I’m choosing to focus on what truly matters.”
While Kyle’s denial of the $25,000 alimony rumor may have temporarily silenced the speculation, it’s clear that the RHOBH star’s personal life will continue to be a hot topic of conversation. With the divorce proceedings nearing completion and a new season of the show on the horizon, fans can expect plenty more drama, revelations, and surprises from one of Beverly Hills’ most iconic Housewives.
As the saying goes, the truth always comes out in Beverly Hills—and this story is far from over.
