Mauricio Umansky Shares Impressive Weight Loss Journey Amid Separation from Kyle Richards
Mauricio Umansky, real estate broker and husband of Kyle Richards, revealed his remarkable fitness transformation just ten days after news broke of their separation following 27 years of marriage. Taking to Instagram, Umansky shared a series of photos capturing his weight loss journey, explaining that he had initially planned to post them on his birthday but decided to share them amidst the recent noise surrounding their separation.
The Instagram post included two mirror selfies of Umansky at the gym, followed by a throwback picture showcasing his shirtless physique. In the caption, Umansky admitted that six years ago, he was out of shape and overweight, but he has made it his goal to improve his health and fitness each year. He also humorously noted that posting such pictures is typically reserved for moments right after a workout when one is feeling pumped up.
While Umansky received numerous praises in the comment section, his wife, Kyle Richards, couldn’t resist making a playful joke about his transformation. Richards, a star of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” commented, “Must be ozempic 😜🤣,” referring to a drug known for its association with weight loss, although originally approved for treating type 2 diabetes. Umansky playfully responded with laughter emojis, indicating that he found her comment amusing.

The reference to Ozempic has sparked some controversy, as the drug’s growing popularity among celebrities for weight loss has drawn concern from doctors. Some medical professionals worry that the trend may divert attention from individuals who genuinely need the drug to manage their diabetes.
Richards has faced accusations of using Ozempic herself, but she previously denied these claims in a January Instagram comment. In a subsequent interview with ExtraTV, Richards expressed her frustration with the allegations, emphasizing her commitment to rigorous exercise and a disciplined diet as the foundation of her physical well-being.
The joint announcement of their separation was made by Richards and Umansky via Instagram, following earlier reports suggesting that they had been living apart while maintaining an amicable relationship. The couple’s decision to part ways after nearly three decades together marked a significant transition in their lives, prompting public interest and support for both individuals as they navigate this new chapter.
“Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof,” the source said on July 3. “They remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.”
“In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding divorcing are untrue,” the statement read in part. “However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage. But we both love and respect each other tremendously.”
