Kyle Richards removes ‘Umansky’ from her bio

Kyle appears to have removed Umansky from the end of her name on Instagram. As of May 2, it just reads Kyle Richards instead of what she previously had: Kyle Richards Umansky.

The name wipe comes months after Richards told fans in an Amazon livestream on February 29 that, despite still living under the same roof, she and Umansky were “allowed to” date other people.

Fans noticed Kyle Richards had changed her name earlier this week amid news Mauricio had moved out of the family home in Encino, and Umansky has no mention of his estranged wife in his Instagram bio.

Kyle may have removed Umansky from her name, but she can’t let go of one thing: the role of “wife” in her Instagram bio. She kept it as, “Mom, wife, actor, author, producer, animal lover, RHOBH, CAA.”

In October 2023, Umansky told People he and Richards are “separated” but are “not throwing in the towel” just yet. “We’ve been married for 27 years, we’re having a bit of a rough patch,” he said.

“Sometimes life throws you different things” and “you’ve got to work through it,” Umansky added. So technically, Kyle is still a wife and married, but they are not in a relationship.

Mauricio moves out

Mauricio Umansky has bought a place in West Hollywood and moved out of his family home with Kyle. She was still making dinner for her estranged husband but things have now taken a turn.

The two previously lived in a 10,600-square-foot home, known as the Smokey Robinson Estate, which was once owned by the Tears of a Clown singer. However, that marriage era is now over.

Kyle is not putting her home up for sale, she revealed, while the former couple’s oldest daughter, Alexia Umansky, has just moved into her first home with her boyfriend, Jake Zingerman.
