“Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Teresa Giudice addressed rumors regarding “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” personality Kyle Richards and her husband, Mauricio Umansky, on the July 13 episode of her podcast, “Namaste B$tches,” co-hosted by Melissa Pfeister. On July 3, People magazine reported that the pair “have separated after 27 years of marriage.” The Agency CEO and the “Halloween” star took to their respective Instagram accounts on July 3 to address the matter. According to their statement, “[a]ny rumors of [them] divorcing are untrue.” They shared, however, that they went through difficulty in their marriage over the past year.
While recording the July 13 “Namaste B$tches” episode, Pfeister referenced that some RHOBH fans believe Richards and her friend, country singer Morgan Wade, 28, might be romantically linked and stated that they may “have these matching tattoos.” Giudice seemed skeptical when Pfeister said there are rumors Wade and Richards wear matching rings.
“Really? I mean, I don’t know. I mean, listen, I don’t know, and if that’s the case, listen, I want — hopefully Kyle to be happy, I want Mauricio to be happy. And I wish their family the best,” said Giudice.
When Pfeister asked Giudice if she felt that Richards had a sexual preference for women when they co-starred together during the first season of the Peacock series, “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip,” which premiered in 2021, Giudice replied, “No.” She referenced that Umansky visited Richards during the production of the show.
“She filmed with us that night … and in the morning, she came back, walk of shame, because she spent the night with Mauricio because he was in town while we were there for ‘The Ultimate Girls Trip.’ Which was awesome,” stated Giudice.
Giudice also stated that she wanted to reach out to the RHOBH star when she saw the reports about her separation. She said, however, that she believed that Richards may “want to be left alone when stuff like that is going on.”
