Kyle Richards dropped the word “wife” from her Instagram account and shared a brand new selfie, a day after her ex Mauricio Umansky was spotted kissing a mystery woman.
The 55-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star showed off her figure on Thursday, celebrating her two-year alcohol-free streak.
She also updated her Instagram bio, which now reads, “Mom, actor, author, producer, animal lover, a RHOBH, CAA.” Her previous bio had the word “wife” in the second position.
Her Twitter profile still has “wife” in it, even though she rarely uses the platform. Kyle dropped Umanksy from her social media name in May, but kept “wife” in her bio.
In her new post, the TV personality posed at her gym, wearing a black sports bra and black leggings.
Kyle Richards, 55, dropped the word ‘wife’ from her Instagram account and shared a sizzling new selfie, a day after her ex Mauricio Umansky, 54, was spotted kissing a mystery woman
Mauricio was spotted passionately kissing a mystery blonde woman in Greece this week, a year after he split from his estranged wife.
She flexed her biceps as she took a mirror selfie of her toned body.
She also added a lengthy caption to the post, writing that the “hardest part” of sobriety was “the resistance” from friends and those who loved “the party Kyle.”
“This week marks my 2 year anniversary of being alcohol free (July 15th). I can remember a time when the idea of not drinking alcohol for 2 weeks seemed impossible,” her lengthy caption read.
“I’m proud that I’ve had the willpower to stay on this path. I know a lot of people would love it if I started drinking again.”
“Even friends with the best intentions. Everyone loved ‘Party Kyle.’ I think that was the hardest part of it all. The pushback from other people. The old me, the people pleaser, had a hard time with that. And I realized right away that I wasn’t going to get a lot of encouragement.”
“But I’ve popped enough splits and twirled enough ponytails to know when it’s time to call it quits (okay, I may still pop a split here and there. Sorry) But my mental and physical health became far more important to me than feeling like I had to be ‘on’ at a party or social occasion.”
“I’m not going to lie… the fact that I looked better because I didn’t drink was also an incentive to stay on the path I’m on. But the real reward is how I feel inside. I feel strong, energetic, and grateful for my body. I want to take care of it, like it has taken care of me.”
She continued: ‘It would have been a lot harder to get through these difficult times if I had been drinking.’
“I want to wake up every day feeling the best I can. Mentally and physically strong enough to face whatever comes my way.”

In addition to her sober journey, the TV personality has also been on a fitness journey, working with fitness trainer Cory Gregory
‘A lot of strangers come up to me and tell me that I’ve inspired them to start their own alcohol-free journey. That makes me happy and inspires me in turn. So, thank you for that.’
She concluded the caption by saying, ‘I often think of the Ernest Hemingway quote, “I drink to make other people more interesting.” Personally, I prefer to see people and situations as they are. AND without the fear #alcoholfree.’

A day earlier, on Wednesday, photos surfaced of her ex Mauricio, 54, passionately kissing a mystery blonde woman in Greece this week – a year after his split from Kyle.
The 54-year-old property magnate Umansky looked happier than ever as he was greeted by a glamorous companion at Mykonos airport.
The couple wrapped their arms around each other and exchanged a warm kiss, before embracing with smiles.
The woman appears to be at least 20 years younger than Umansky, but her identity is currently unknown.
Umansky had previously sparked rumors of a relationship with his DWTS pro partner Emma Slater, 35, but this is the first time he’s been spotted in real life with a new woman.

Kyle and Mauricio split in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage, but continued to live together until May, when they confirmed he had moved out.
The couple have three daughters: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16, and Kyle is also mother to daughter Farrah, 35, whose father is her first husband Guraish Aldjufrie.
Kyle recently responded to rumors of a possible romance with country music star Morgan Wade, 29.
She debunked a blind article that claimed she and Morgan were planning to go public with their relationship on the cover of a magazine.
During an Amazon Live session, Kyle said, “That’s not true. That blind item isn’t about me,” adding, “It has to be about someone else! So I’m wondering who it is. Now you’ve got me curious.”
The blind item hinted at a younger country singer planning to reveal her romance with an older woman on the cover of a prestigious magazine, a speculation that many have linked to the reality star.
The original rumor was emailed to TwoMe and read: ‘Country singer is going public with her relationship. The couple in love have shot a coveted magazine cover that will be released soon and will come as a shock to many.’
The email it was sent in read “cougarmeetscountry@deuxxx.com,” leading many fans to link it to Kyle and Morgan.
The couple’s friendship has been in the news since Kyle announced that she is divorcing her husband Umansky.

Rumors of Kyle and Morgan’s romance reached a fever pitch in August after Kyle appeared with Morgan in the music video for her single Fall In Love With Me. The video featured the two women looking smitten and climaxing with a passionate kiss.
In March, Kyle said she was “curious” about kissing a woman when discussing her steamy cameo in the music video.
“I’ve never kissed anyone on camera, let alone a woman, or off camera,” the Halloween actress told host Andy Cohen during the Real Housewives Beverly Hills Season 13 reunion.
“So I was very nervous and anxious, but if I’m honest with myself, I was of course curious to be able to say yes,” she added.
Kyle also noted that the video, which was released in August 2023, was filmed a month before it was revealed that she and her estranged husband Mauricio had split in July 2023.
