Get the details on the estranged RHOBH couple's finances amid their separation.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have been navigating many emotional moments amid their separation, which they first announced in July 2023. While the pair have yet to formally divorce, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member has been candid in the past about the couple's finances when they married nearly two decades ago. Kyle has opened up about if she signed a prenup with The Agency founder when they wed in 1996. Here's what we know.
Did Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky sign a prenup when they married?
Kyle and Mauricio did not have a prenuptial agreement when they got married.
A prenuptial agreement is a legally binding contract both parties sign before entering into a union of marriage. The contract is meant to specify how a couple decides to divide their assets, debts, and spousal support in the event of death or divorce, and Kyle and Mauricio didn't agree to such a contract when they wed in 1996.
“We did not have a prenup. My husband did not have a penny when I married him…" Kyle said during a January appearance on Jeff Lewis Live. "He was in the clothing business when I met him, making no money."
Kyle added that the couple "built everything together."
“He didn’t have any money when I married him and it’s our money," she continued. "Let’s be very clear about that. It’s [a] very clean cut. Everything is half regardless."
Are Kyle and Mauricio back together?
As of July 2024, one year after they announced their split, the pair remains separated.
Previously, Kyle went on to detail how the split after 27 years of marriage was affecting their daughters, Alexia, Sophia, and Portia Umansky, and Kyle's oldest daughter, Farrah Brittany, from her past marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.
“It’s really tough. I do feel like my entire identity is being a wife and a mom, and that’s been really hard to wrap my head around.. And that’s what I think learning who I am without that even though obviously no matter what, I’m a mom," Kyle said. "I have four daughters, and they are my best friends, but he’s also my friend, and I do love him very much, and that’s what’s also hard.”
