Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, embraced the Independence Day spirit with their children.
The power couple, parents to daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15, along with Farrah Aldjufrie, 34, Kyle’s daughter from a previous relationship, were captured enjoying a parade and family time.
This strategic show of unity came after intense speculation about the state of their marriage. Addressing these rumours, the couple released a joint statement on Monday: “Regarding the news that emerged about us today… Any claims regarding our divorce are false. However, yes, we have had a difficult year.”
“The most challenging of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no misconduct by anyone.”
In the midst of these marital challenges, the couple showed courage and decided to celebrate America’s birthday together. By documenting their holiday on social media, Kyle and Mauricio showed the world their resilience and commitment to family.
In contrast to their celebration, country singer Morgan Wade, who is rumored to be involved with Kyle, posted a solitary photo on the beach.

Further fueling the rumors are the alleged matching heart tattoos reportedly sported by both Kyle and Morgan.
Despite the whispers and innuendos, the couple held their heads high. Mauricio, on his Instagram page, shared a wholesome family album of their Fourth of July festivities.
Unfazed by the ongoing speculation, the couple painted a picture of happiness and family unity.
The couple, married since January 1996, are reportedly still cohabiting despite their separation.
Mauricio, addressing persistent rumors about his marriage, previously said on the Two T’s In a Pod podcast: “I mean, it’s so dumb. That stupid story that came out, and then all the girls, you know, decided to talk “. about it on Housewives, so now it’s a story.”
Together, the couple owns three properties: a sprawling mansion in Encino, California, a house in La Quinta, California, and a vacation home in Aspen, Colorado.
The Halloween star once mentioned how the La Quinta house, initially purchased as a vacation home, became his primary residence during the COVID-19 pandemic out of a desire for a “change of scenery.”
The reality star and former child actress, a household name even before her stint on the Bravo reality show due to her connections to Kathy Hilton and Paris Hilton, has been a part of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since its inception in 2010.
Mauricio has been a constant support for Richards throughout his career. During a November 2021 interview with E! News, she said, “I’ve always been 100 percent behind her, no matter what she does.”
Despite the rough patch, Kyle and Mauricio fondly remember their years together. They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary a year and a half before the announcement of their separation.
Reflecting on their marital journey, Kyle told Bravo: “It means a lot, and it’s something we’re both incredibly proud of… I mean, I think it’s refreshing, in this city being married 25 years is a great deal. And We are very proud to be good role models for our daughters.”
- Echoing her sentiments, Mauricio stated: “To be honest, it feels easy and it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long… And, you know, I definitely intend to spend the rest of my life with her. So, I hope so.” It will be at least another 25 years, and maybe another 50.”
