Following recent speculation about a cryptic message she posted, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards clarified that it wasn't related to her reported separation from husband Mauricio Umansky. The message, "Parting is such sweet sorrow," accompanied a photo of trees in Colorado and was quickly deleted from her Instagram story.

Richards addressed the rumors directly in an Instagram comment, explaining that the message simply referred to her leaving Aspen, Colorado, where she had been vacationing with her family. This clarification comes shortly after reports surfaced about the couple's alleged separation after 27 years of marriage.

Despite the separation rumors, the couple and two of their daughters were seen together celebrating the 4th of July in Aspen. Umansky shared photos of the family on Instagram, including one of him and Richards with their dog, where he is still wearing his wedding band. Days later, both Richards and Umansky released joint statements on social media denying the divorce rumors, acknowledging a "rough year" but emphasizing their love and respect for each other.

While they admitted to facing challenges in their marriage, they requested privacy to work through their issues. They also urged the public to refrain from spreading false narratives. Richards and Umansky have been married since 1996 and share three daughters. Richards also has a daughter from a previous marriage.
