Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have put on a united front, amid rumours they are “separating”.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars, who tied the knot in 1996, jetted off to Italy with their daughters for a family holiday.
Mauricio took to Instagram over the weekend to share a snap from the trip, which he captioned: “Summer Vacay 2023 on point.”
Kyle and Mauricio share three daughters – Alexia, 26, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. The actress also has daughter Farrah, 34, from her first marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.
Last month, it was reported that Kyle and Mauricio had separated after 27 years of marriage.
In a statement shared to Instagram, the couple wrote: “In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue.”
“However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part.”
“Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative,” they added.
While Kyle and Mauricio have denied they’re getting a divorce, that hasn’t stopped fans from questioning her close friendship with country music singer Morgan Wade – with many speculating the pair are secretly dating.
Amid the speculation, Kyle and Morgan decided to poke fun at the speculation by playing love interests in Morgan’s new music video for her song ‘Fall in Love With Me’.
In the three-minute video, Kyle and Morgan play neighbours who admire each other from afar, before they strip down together for a bath.
The video ends with the pair feeding each other fruit, and leaning in for several kisses.
Morgan explained: “I’ve done several music videos and every time there’s someone in it they always assume we’re dating or something’s going on. If you go on the Internet, you’ll see people are obsessed with us being friends.”
Kyle jokingly added: “Excuse me, they want to know why I’m friends with you.”
“We thought it would kind of be a good idea to kind of poke fun at that and troll the trolls a little bit,” Morgan said. “The Internet is going to be popping off about this one I’m sure.”
“Well, if they’re gonna talk, you might as well give them something to talk about,” Kyle added.
