Kyle Richards is said to be “done” with her decades-long marriage to Mauricio Umansky.
After Kyle, 55, was seen admitting on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion that years of cheating rumors had chipped away at her and made her insecure, and confessing to being curious about kissing rumored flame Morgan Wade, 29, an insider revealed Kyle’s “final straw” with Mauricio, 53, and noted that the real estate mogul isn’t convinced that she and Morgan are just friends.
“[Mauricio] is currently sorting things out and is going to pack up and leave. Kyle has told him she is done with the relationship,” a source told the Real Housewives Zone on Instagram on March 14. “The final straw for Kyle was finding messages on his Instagram with other women.”
Amid season 13, Kyle admitted to feeling that Mauricio had engaged in inappropriate messages with other women on social media, which likely only fueled the insecurity she was already feeling about things being said about her spouse.
Now, months later, Kyle continues to be seen with Morgan while sightings of her and Mauricio are few and far between.
“She is happy spending time with Morgan which has caused a big strain on her marriage with Mauricio. Although there is no evidence Kyle and Morgan are more than friends, Mauricio is over it,” the Zone‘s source shared. “He absolutely believes there is more to their friendship than what she tells him.”
According to another report, Kyle is unsure if she’ll return to RHOBH after going through a difficult 13th season as her marriage problems were exposed.
“This season, when I was struggling so much personally, and I felt like people were coming at me when I really just needed friends and support, I really thought, ‘How can I continue to do this?’” Kyle recently confessed, as noted by Life & Style. “Why would I put myself through this?”
As Kyle weighs the pros and cons, money will certainly be a factor when it comes to the time to negotiate.
“Kyle’s still on the fence about returning for season 14, but that could be a very clever negotiating tactic,” an insider explained. “Of course, Bravo and Andy Cohen want Kyle to stay. Her storyline was way more interesting than anyone else’s, which puts Kyle in the driver’s seat.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 is expected to go into production sometime next month.
