The phrase "goodbye, Kyle" has a whole new meaning.
Kyle Richards made a major change to her Instagram just days after her estranged husband Mauricio Umansky was spotted kissing a new woman amid their separation.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently removed "wife" from her social media bio. Now, it simply reads, "Mom, actor, author,producer,animal lover, a RHOBH , CAA.”
Kyle, who confirmed in July 2023 that she and the real estate mogul had broken up after 27 years of marriage, previously dropped Umansky from her Instagram profile in May.
Of course, many fans are speculating Kyle's subtle move is a response to Mauricio's suspected new romance.
Earlier this week, Mauricio proved he is very much moving on with his life when he was photographed arriving in Mykonos, Greece and passionately kissing a blonde woman inside the airport.
While the Buying Beverly Hills star and Halloween Ends actress have yet to file for divorce, his July 16 PDA fest and her official declaration of being single all but prove a reconciliation is off the table.
Plus, Mauricio recently moved out of their family home and into a new Los Angeles bachelor pad.
"That was weird," Kyle—who shares daughters Farrah, 35, Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16, with Mauricio—admitted in May. "I always knew when that day came it would feel strange, very real. I'm a mom of four, I have a busy household."
And while Kyle shared during a March episode of RHOBH that "it's hard for us to say" the word divorce, Mauricio confirmed during season two Buying Beverly Hills that they are moving on with their love lives.
"The rules are that I'm not gonna be asking you what you're doing," he explained. "I don't want you to be asking me what I'm doing. You go out. You date. Like, we are separated."
