Facing single life after a long marriage
Recounting her emotional reset after separating from Mauricio Umansky, Richards admitted her biggest fear was loneliness. She once found it hard to even call herself single.
With time, she discovered unexpected comfort in solitude. Richards says she’s actually pretty good at being on her own, and that personal growth has reshaped her identity.
Mauricio Umansky: separation, rumors and public attention
The couple separated in summer 2023. They have not filed for divorce, but their split has fueled headlines and relationship rumors about both parties.
Recent public pairings
- Mauricio has been seen with several women since the separation.
- Most recently, he appeared affectionate with Celisa “CJ” Franco of FBoy Island fame.
Meanwhile, Richards was linked to singer Morgan Wade last year, though she repeatedly described that connection as a close friendship.
The BravoCon moment that ignited speculation
At BravoCon, a Season 15 trailer included a line that set social media abuzz. Richards hinted she could be open to relationships with either men or women, which many interpreted as a bisexual reveal.
She later told Variety the remark was intended to be funny for her co-stars and stressed she dislikes labels. Richards said her perspective is evolving and she’s open to possibilities.
How she describes her romantic preferences now
Richards told reporters she never imagined pursuing relationships with women before, but now sees that path as “an option.” She emphasized curiosity over definition.
She also rejected scripted setups. “I don’t want to be set up,” she said, preferring to let connections develop naturally.
Public image, family history and personal context
Richards married Mauricio in 1996, four years after ending her first marriage. She often references family roles when discussing identity and change.
- Long marriage to Umansky shaped her public persona.
- Motherhood and career have been central to her self-definition.
- Now she’s reexamining priorities and what she wants next.
Where things stand today
For now, Richards remains focused on work, family, and self-discovery. She’s navigating choices without pressure and is open to unexpected outcomes.
Her remarks about dating, labels and being comfortable alone continue to shape public interest as fans track her next moves.
