Kyle Richards revealed that she began a new relationship after her split from Mauricio Umansky.
Kyle Richards is describing her romantic life in this place. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star acknowledged that she resumed dating after divorcing Mauricio Umansky in 2023 after 30 years of marriage, but she did not reveal the identity of the partner.
"Since separating from Mau, I was in a relationship I was in a very vulnerable place in my life and I fell hard for this person," on the December 11 episode of RHOBH, Kyle added that although she had been open about the romance, the person she was seeing wasn't, which ultimately caused the relationship to end. "All the speculation and the gossip and the talking is what ultimately ended it."
She continued by saying that she "could have weathered the storm, but this is not for everyone."

During a sit-down with co-star Erika Jayne, the 56-year-old who had previously been believed to be dating country singer Morgan Wade—made the revelation, expressing annoyance at the incessant inquiries about her romantic life.
"I am so tired of people asking about my dating life," she added. "Erika, if you were seeing someone that you cared very much about, that specifically says, ‘Please, I’m not a part of this group. Be respectful.’ Would you betray that person, just because people are curious?"
The reality star, who has four children with Mauricio—Farrah Aldjufrie, 36; Sophia Umansky, 25; Alexia Umansky, 29; and Portia Umansky, 17—went on to say that she felt caught between a rock and a hard place.
"I’ve always told everybody just to be honest and I’m always an honest person,” Kyle clarified. "I’m not a liar but I don’t know what people want from me. I am single now, OK."
"I was seeing someone who I cared about very much," she added. "If it was only me, I would give all the answers they want. But it’s not just about me."
“She’s open, understanding. Finally willing to be vulnerable," Erika continued. "I’m very proud of Kyle.”
Even though she was happy with Kyle's revelation, she cautioned that the rest of their cast will also be expecting answers after years of seeking them but not receiving them.
The singer of "How Many F--ks" clarified, "Even though this relationship is over, the women are still going to question Kyle until she addresses it once and for all and clears everything up."
