Kyle Richards says Mauricio Umansky texted her on their 30th wedding anniversary, and the message left her sad. The exchange landed while the pair remain separated since July 2023, which keeps their split in a holding pattern instead of a legal one.
30th Anniversary Text
Richards said Umansky wrote, “today's always such a hard day and I love you.” She added that he told her, “I don't know how we got here,” and said the note “just sent me off.”
“I'm just having a moment. Today's my 30-year anniversary. It makes me sad,” she told Vicki Gunvalson in a preview for Kyle Richards Says She and Mauricio Umansky Get Along Great. For a couple whose separation has stayed public for more than a year, a text like that keeps the personal fallout in the open rather than letting it fade into old news.
Alexia, Sophia, Portia
Richards said she and Umansky share three daughters: Alexia, 29, Sophia, 26, and Portia, 18. She also said they built their lives and wealth together, a reminder that this split reaches beyond sentiment and into the structure of what they created as a family.
That same history is why the anniversary message hit harder. Richards said, “The thing that bothered me the most honestly was people saying that we gave them hope that true love existed, and now, that went out the window for them.”
The Agency and April
In April, Richards said she would fight to claim her half of The Agency if the couple filed for divorce. She also said she worries that filing would change their current dynamic, which leaves the separation in a careful middle ground: no divorce filing yet, but a business issue already waiting in the wings.
Richards has said she and Umansky are peaceful enough to coexist, but that position sits alongside her willingness to push for a share of The Agency if the split turns legal. That is the part readers should watch: not the anniversary text itself, but whether it stays a private wound or becomes the trigger for a formal filing that forces a decision on what they built together.
Vicki Gunvalson
Gunvalson told Richards, “My heart is breaking for Kyle because they've got everything everyone is looking for and 30 years of marriage. All of a sudden, it's dissolving.” She also said, “You should be. You let your family down. You let your kids down.” Richards responded, “When I hear Vicki say that the pain still lives within her, it scares me. I want to be past this. I don't want to be Vicki.”
For now, the anniversary text matters because it shows how much unfinished business still sits inside Richards and Umansky’s separation. The open question is whether that message stays emotional or becomes the last pause before a divorce filing forces the split into something harder to unwind.
