Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky issued a joint statement confirming the recent news of their separation, RadarOnline.com has learned. The newly separated couple also denied any “wrongdoing” on either one’s part amid rumors Kyle has already moved on with a female country singer.
In the latest development to come just hours after it was revealed the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her husband of 27 years were separating, the pair released a statement confirming the news but also striking down any reports that they are divorcing.
“In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue,” the pair wrote early Tuesday morning.
“However, yes, we have had a rough year,” they continued. “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 parishes privately,” Kyle, 54, and Mauricio, 53, added. “While it might be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
“Thank you for the love and support,” they concluded. “Kyle & Mauricio.”
