Mauricio Umansky Shows PDA With New Girlfriend as Kyle Richards Processes Split

When Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards’ ex Mauricio Umansky was spotted kissing Nikita Kahn at an airport on July 17, fans assumed his marriage to Richards was officially over.

Now, Umansky has been seen once again with Kahn. TMZ obtained photos of the duo walking along the beach on August 17.

Kahn donned a bikini, while Umansky strutted around shirtless with a bathing suit on. Not shy about public displays of affection, the pair were spotted holding hands on the sand. In the water, Kahn straddled Umansky, hinting at a kiss.

The couple displayed their affection at One&Only Mandarina, a resort just outside Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Interestingly, these pictures surfaced just hours after it was announced that Umansky’s Netflix show Buying Beverly Hills was canceled. According to Deadline, the show, which followed Umansky’s real estate firm The Agency, was cut due to “viewing numbers versus the cost of production.”

When the first photos of Umansky and Kahn kissing initially emerged, Richards’ sister Kathy Hilton spoke up on July 23 about how Richards was coping. “Eventually it was gonna happen, and I think it’s very difficult to see,” Hilton shared with Entertainment Tonight. Noting her concern for Richards, Hilton added that Richards “looks the best she’s ever looked.”

On August 10, another insider spoke about Richards’ reaction, stating she was “humiliated” by the photos. “Mauricio was gallivanting in public with this young chippie to show her what she’s missing,” the source said. The insider explained that the pictures marked “the end of their marriage right there!” “Mauricio had hoped their marriage would fall back into place,” the source added, “but he figured he was a sucker letting grass grow under his feet while Kyle took her time making up her mind! Now, he has forced her hand—and he doesn’t feel bad about it one bit!”

Richards’ costar Garcelle Beauvais also spoke about the images on August 14. “It’s hard seeing people go through things and it’s so public, that’s really hard to watch,” Beauvais told Us Weekly. “I feel for Kyle, for sure. And it’s hard seeing pictures of [your ex moving on] even if you don’t want them back.” Beauvais added that even if Richards doesn’t want Umansky back, it’s “hard” to see him moving on.

While Richards and Umansky have not confirmed whether their separation will lead to a divorce, after the photos surfaced, Richards removed the word “wife” from her Instagram bio.
