They looked like a couple.
They acted like a couple.
But insiders say it means nothing.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky celebrated the New Year together in Aspen, Colorado. However, sources say their marriage is still over.
A January 2026 insider told Us Weekly that the separated Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple is not getting back together.
“They are not getting back together,” the source said.
“There’s still so much love between them. They’re genuinely friends. But this is not a reconciliation.”
Why They Looked Like a Couple Anyway
Kyle and Mauricio have been separated since July 2023.
They have not filed for divorce.
And they still spend time together, especially during the holidays.
Their Aspen trip set tongues wagging.
Daughter Sophia shared a cozy video of her parents watching a movie on the floor together.
Soon after, Page Six reported that the exes looked “very obviously together” at Kate Hudson’s New Year’s Eve party.
“They had their arms around one another,” a source claimed.
“They were touchy and warm all night. If you didn’t know they split, you’d think they were still married.”
Friends Not Lovers
Despite the optics, insiders say nothing romantic is happening.
“They’ve come a long way,” the source explained.
“They’re in a really good place as friends.”
The pair share four daughters.
Farrah, Alexia, Sophia, and Portia.
And according to the insider, the girls are not pushing their parents to reunite.
“Of course it would be great,” the source said.
“But the family knows it’s most likely not going to happen.”
Kyle’s New Mindset Says It All
Kyle has been open about her emotional journey since the split.
On the RHOBH After Show, she admitted she once feared ending up alone.
“What scared me the most was being alone,” she said.
“Am I going to be alone one day?”
That fear is gone.
She now lives by a simple rule.
“Whatever will be will be.”
“I’m no longer afraid of that,” Kyle added.
“There’s a security in knowing if it happens, it happens.”
Both Have Moved On
Mauricio has been linked to several younger women since the separation.
Kyle confirmed she “fell hard” for someone after the split.
She never named names.
Fans still speculate about country singer Morgan Wade.
What is clear is this.
Kyle and Mauricio still care deeply.
They still laugh together.
They still show up for their family.
But love does not always mean a second chance.
