Diamonds might crack, but they never break.
Kyle Richards is very much proof of that exactly one year after she and husband Mauricio Umansky shocked more than just Bravo fans by separating after 27 years of marriage.
"Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue," The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star announced on Instagram July 3, 2023 in response to reports of their breakup. "However, yes, we have had a rough year, the most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone's part."
"Although we are in the public eye," Kyle—who shares daughters Farrah, 35, Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16, with Mauricio—added, "we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative."
But twelve months later, the reality stars' lives look completely different.
Mauricio has moved out of their marital home while Kyle has continued to shoot down dating rumors about her and country singer Morgan Wade.
As for what really caused the dissolution of the Halloween Ends actress' marriage to the real estate mogul? Kyle got extremely candid about their relationship troubles on RHOBH's most recent 13th season and revealed what ultimately broke their decades-long bond.
Now, the exes are figuring out their own futures on their own terms.
On the first anniversary of their split, look back at everything Kyle and Mauricio have said about their heartbreaking decision to separate, where the estranged couple stands today and how they feel about their new normals.
