Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s past comments about the status of their marriage are resurfacing in light of the news of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple’s separation.Back in April, the 54-year-old Bravo star spoke to Page Six about how pictures of her leaving the gym sans wedding ring sparked split speculation.“A, I haven’t been wearing my big diamond ring, because there’s a lot of crime these days and I’m like, ‘I’m not comfortable.’ And B, I had just come from the gym lifting weights, so I was like, ‘That thing sparked that?’’” Richards said at the time. “When this stuff would come up before, I would like, cry and I was devastated.

But now, I’m more like, ‘OK, I’ve done this before. Let’s do this. Bring it on. Come on. Let’s see what you got for me here.’”While Richards insisted that she and Umansky were fine, she did admit that she wasn’t looking forward to reliving the drama when season 13 of RHOBH premieres later this year.“Obviously, you don’t love that because when the show airs in six months, I will be dealing with this and people are going to be talking again and more fake stories and lies.

I am in my unbothered era when it comes to that. That is for sure,” she said.Richards and Umansky, who wed in 1996, are the parents of daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.

Richards also shares daughter Farrah Aldjufrie, 34, with ex-husband Guraish Aldjufrie.“My reaction, I mean, these are stories.
