In a recent development, reality TV star Kyle Richards from 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' has found herself relating to the concept of micro-cheating. Amid her separation from her longtime husband Mauricio Umansky, Richards 'liked' a cryptic Instagram post about this nuanced phenomenon. The incident was spotted by the account @facereality16, and it has caused quite a stir among fans and followers.
Micro-cheating, as described by influencer Sameeksha Dhoundiyal, encompasses a range of behaviors such as secretly messaging someone, deleting messages, complaining about your partner to others, maintaining contact with exes or past acquaintances, lying about your relationship status online or offline, being flirtatious with someone else, trying to impress someone who is not your partner, having secretive friendships, and even stalking someone you find attractive.
Richards and Umansky publicly confirmed their separation back in July 2023, after being married for 27 years. They emphasized that there was no wrongdoing on either side, but rumors have persistently suggested that Umansky may not have always been faithful. Furthermore, Richards' unusually close friendship with country singer Morgan Wade has raised some eyebrows.
Viewers of 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' have observed arguments and a disconnect between Richards and Umansky throughout the current season. In a recent episode, during a playful card game, another cast member, Sutton Stracke, pulled a card that asked about appropriate behavior for husbands regarding communication with other women on social media. Richards responded with a somewhat heated, 'Murder. I've had a fight with Mau over that. I hate that. 'Liking' people's photos, following people— you don't do that.' She further added, 'Mau gets a lot of DMs from women. They don't care that he's married, and they're always the aggressor. It just makes you realize there's a lot of f**king a**holes out there.'
Despite their separation, Richards and Umansky have managed to maintain a healthy co-parenting relationship. They continue to live under the same roof and even travel together. Richards has openly expressed that she cannot imagine her life without Umansky. To date, neither of them has filed for divorce.
The ongoing drama surrounding Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky's relationship has captivated fans and sparked discussions about the intricacies of micro-cheating. As their story unfolds on and off the screen, viewers will undoubtedly be curious to see how this situation evolves and whether it will lead to a final resolution or a potential reconciliation.
