Mauricio Umansky refuses to watch RHOBH Episodes Covering His Upcoming Split: ‘It Will Make More Noise’
Kyle and Mauricio have been married since January 1996. The couple, who first met in a nightclub in 1994, have daughters Alexia (27), Sophia (23) and Portia (15), as well as Kyle’s eldest daughter Farrah Brittany (b. Aldjufrie), 34, from his first marriage with the former Guraish Aldjufrie.
A source close to the estranged couple told PEOPLE in July that the pair “have been separated for some time, but they still live under the same roof. They remain friendly while they figure out what’s next for them and their family.” At the time, Kyle and Mauricio denied rumors they were divorcing, but admitted they had a “tough year” in a joint statement posted on Instagram.

On Wednesday’s episode of the Bravo show, Sutton expressed her concern over Kyle’s diet and exercise changes, noting that her friend had “lost a lot of weight” and spent their bachelorette trip to Las Vegas exercising for three hours and abstaining from alcohol.
“I didn’t see her wedding ring. I don’t know, I don’t know what it is,” she shrugged in a conversation with her friend.
In the confessional, the 52-year-old Sutton boutique owner added: “Kyle is behaving in a way I’ve never seen. Now. We have tabloid rumors that Mo is cheating. So I just feel like when all these numbers are there, it gives something … something’s wrong.”
