RHOBH fans were shocked by Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky's rumored split last year.

Despite separation, neither Kyle nor Mauricio have spoken ill of each other.

Mauricio was recently asked about reconciliation & gave a surprising, evasive response.

Kyle & Mauricio, married since 1996, confirmed their separation in 2023.

Daughter Alexia learned about their issues through the press.

Mauricio hinted he might be open to reconciliation, but the decision is Kyle's.

For his birthday, Kyle gifted Mauricio something special for his condo.

Both have been linked to other people—Kyle with Morgan Wade, Mauricio with various women.

Fans still hold hope that Kyle & Mauricio might rekindle their relationship.
