Real Housewives' Kyle Richards denies reports she's divorcing Mauricio Umansky after 27 years of marriage

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Kyle Richards has denied reports she and husband Mauricio Umansky have separated after being married for 27 years.

On Monday (Tuesday in Australia), a source told People the couple "been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof," and that they "remain amicable as they figure out what's next for them and their family."

However, Richards has now addressed the report in an Instagram statement, saying "any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue".

"However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage," the reality TV star conceded.

"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."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 54, and Umansky, 53, said their 'I dos' in January 1996, two years after meeting at a night club.

Richards – who already had daughter Farrah Brittany, 34, from her first marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie – went on to have three daughters with Umansky: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23 and Portia, 15.

The couple were spotted celebrating fellow RHOBH star Faye Resnick's birthday together at a party last night, before the claims of a separation emerged.

The star posted a snap of herself and her husband to her Instagram story, posing with their co-star with a caption written across the image reading "We love you."

News of the alleged split also comes only two weeks after the reality TV star posted a sweet tribute to her husband for Father's Day.

"Happy Father's Day @mumansky18 so grateful that our girls have such an incredible Dad," Richards wrote.

"Leading them with love and instilling in them to be adventurous and live life to the fullest ... Always there for them and not knowing how to say "no" ... They would definitely agree you get the best Dad award."

Umansky had previously predicted reports regarding trouble in paradise for himself and Richards would come up.

In April, Richards revealed that many of her co-stars had been questioning that couple's status in the most recent season of RHOBH.

"It started all from a stupid picture of me without a ring on," she told Page Six.

Richards explained she had many reasons not to wear the sparkly rock gifted to her by Umansky.

"A, I haven't been wearing my big diamond ring, because there's a lot of crime these days and I'm like, 'I'm not comfortable,'" she said at the time.

"And B, I had just come from the gym lifting weights, so I was like, 'That thing sparked that?' I don't know."

Umansky later spoke on an April 10 segment of the Two Ts in a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge podcast about the matter.

While teasing what Season 10 has in store for viewers, the star predicted that many stories would unfold upcoming and around the time the segments are aired.

"We're not getting divorced. … I mean, it's so dumb," he said.

"[There's] that one stupid story that came out there and then the girls all, you know, decided to talk about it on the 'Housewives,' and so now it's a storyline."

The Dealmaker author shared that viewers will see him and his wife "address" the chatter. "It is what it is," he added.
