Kyle Richards has revealed why she hasn’t been wearing her wedding ring, amid rumours she’s separated from her husband Mauricio Umansky.
During an Amazon Live stream, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star insisted that her not wearing the band has nothing to do with the “hard time” her and Maurico have been going through.
She said: “You guys may know there was a picture of me without my ring on and people must assume now, ‘Oh because Kyle and Mauricio have been going through a hard time, that’s why I didn’t have my ring on.’ That’s not why I didn’t have my ring on.”
Kyle then explained: “I didn’t have my ring on because I lift weights, and it will bend the ring, ruin the ring, and it hurts. So, I take the ring off when I’m lifting weights.”
The 54-year-old revealed the photos of her without her ring on were taken after she had been working out in her gym and her daughter Portia told her it was time for school.
She said: “I jumped in the car and we were running to grab muffins and coffee she wanted to bring for her teacher in the morning, and paparazzi saw me without a ring. And that sparked a lot of stuff on the show that actually wasn’t even true, and you’ll understand when you see the season.”
“But that is not because Mau and I have been having a hard time. That has nothing to do with why I didn’t have a ring on my finger.”

It comes after Kyle and Mauricio shut down rumours they are getting a divorce, but admitted that the past year of their marriage has been “rough”.
In a statement shared to Instagram earlier this month, 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.”
Kyle and Mauricio tied the knot back in 1996.
The couple share three daughters – Alexia, 26, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.
The actress also has daughter Farrah, 34, from her first marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.
