Kyle Richards and her husband Mauricio Umansky have been on RHOBH for 13 out of the 27 years they’ve been married.

Saying that she and Umansky are trying to keep their situation as normal as possible, Richards shared with US Magazine that they still live in the same home.

Richards also stated that she didn’t know how long she and Umansky would be in between being together and being separated, saying, “That’s the hardest part because the unknown is scary.”
