The door between Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky is slowly creaking shut.
On Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the reality star, 56, reacted to the viral images of her estranged husband, 54, kissing an unknown woman in the Mykonos airport going public.
While driving to a mammogram appointment with her sister Kathy Hilton, Kyle confessed she was still “a little bit shocked and still processing” the photos. She knew Mauricio was dating other people amid their separation, but always believed she’d see him and his new romantic partners “out and about” in public spaces — not plastered online for the world to see.

“I don’t want him to feel guilty, because he’s allowed to do what he wants. But it’s also like, why are you being irresponsible? I don’t know,” she told Kathy. “I have a lot of mixed feelings, that’s why I’m saying I’m just processing it all.”
In a conversation with cameras, Kyle wondered how Mauricio’s new girlfriend would affect their cordial relationship.
“Am I going to feel differently now? Is he not going to want to be as nice to me now? Is he not going to be allowed to if he has a new person in his life that doesn’t like that? All these thoughts are going through my head,” she explained.
At the doctor’s office, Kathy and Kyle resumed their discussion while waiting for their results.

Kyle couldn’t help but feel concerned for Mauricio and noted that he’s most likely “freaking out” knowing that she and their daughters Farrah, Alexia, Sophia and Portia have seen the photos. When she confessed she thought Mauricio would send her a text addressing the pictures, Kathy snapped her sister out of it and reminded her that The Agency founder was a “single, grown man.”
“When people are quiet, that tells you a lot,” she added.
Kyle took a beat of silence before reaching for her phone and pulling up her Instagram account.
“I am not going to be sitting here having ‘wife’ on my Instagram bio with him running around with people. Why would I?” she said as she pulled the plug and removed “wife” from her profile.
She told cameras of the move, “In the past, it’s been hard for me to think about taking ‘wife’ off my bio or my married last name, but the picture changed that for me.”
When Kathy suggested that Kyle look into the mystery woman and who might have called the paparazzi, she shut down any ploys to snoop around.
“It doesn’t matter, I don’t even care. I don’t want to dig, I don’t care. I don’t care who she is,” Kyle replied. “That doesn’t matter. [All I care] about is, right now, I need to move on.”
