When you’re a billionaire and featured on reality TV and are married to a reality TV star, it can be hard to escape the press and enjoy some semblance of a private life.

Mauricio Umansky’s Ethnic Background
First and foremost, before we can get the details of the highly public split between the billionaire and reality TV star, we’re going to look at Mauricio Umansky’s ethnic background.
Mauricio Umansky is a real-estate tycoon born on June 25th, 1970, in Mexico.
He is the CEO and the founder of a brokerage firm called The Agency.
He is also the star of the hit Netflix show ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ which features the clients that Umansky’s company deals with on a professional level.
The show is another example of just how popular reality Real Estate TV shows have become. It centers on his agency and the high-end sales it helps close.
Umansky’s agency works with socialites, millionaires, billionaires, celebs, and Hollywood elites, which makes for some amazing TV.
Mauricio Umansky is of a multicultural ethnic background, which is why Mauricio Umansky’s ethnic background is such a commonly searched phrase online. Born in Mexico, Mauricio is of Mexican, Russian-Greek, and Jewish descent. His mother, Estella Sneider, is a Mexican TV host, radio presenter, sex therapist, author, and psychologist. She raised Mauricio in Mexico.
His wife Kyle, who is of English, Welsh, and Irish descent, even converted to Modern Orthodox Judaism when they got together.

Kyle Richards has been married to Mauricio since 1996.
The couple has three children together and has frequently worked together, both in private and in front of the cameras, as she has appeared on his show ‘Buying Beverly Hills’ and he has been featured on her show ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ which also featured Mauricio’s mother.
Kyle Egan Richards Umansky was born on January 11th, 1969. She is best known for her work on ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ though she has actually been acting and in the entertainment business since she was just a child when she appeared on ‘Little House on the Prairie.’
Kyle also played in her fair share of horror movies as a youngster, including John Carpenter’s Halloween, and Halloween Kills and Halloween ends more than 40 years later.
Kyle was named after a New York Giants football player by the name of Kyle Rote.
After acting as a youngster, she turned her attention to fashion and, later, reality TV. She would land a role in ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ in 2010, and is currently the last original member of the cast still remaining.
In 1994, Kyle met Mauricio, and two years later, they were married.
They have three daughters (Alexia Umansky, Sophia Umansky, and Portia Umansky) together, and up until 2023 were very much in love. In the summer of 2023, however, rumors began circulating regarding their relationship.

Note – Kyle also has a daughter (Farrah Aldjufrie) from a previous relationship with Indonesian businessman Guraish Aldjufrie.
Are Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards still together?
After nearly three decades of marriage, in the summer of 2023, People Magazine published an article that claimed that Mauricio and Kyle had separated and would soon be divorced.
Initially, the couple released a joint statement denying they were getting divorced but acknowledged that their marriage was in troubled waters.
In August 2023, the couple would share an insight into a summer holiday spent in Italy as a family.

Does this confirm that they aren’t splitting? No. It’s clear their marriage is struggling, but it is also clear that they are trying to work things out.
To add fuel to the fire, there were rumors circulating that Kyle was romantically involved with country music singer Morgan Wade.
This, of course, raised questions about Kyle’s sexuality, but the two women would claim they were just friends.
However, shortly afterwards, Wade would have Kyle feature in one of her music videos, in which the two women would exchange sultry looks with each other. Mauricio, however, didn’t seem to mind as he would comment three fire emojis on Instagram in response to the video, while also commenting ‘so good.’
So, for now, Mauricio and Kyle are trying to resolve their issues and save their marriage, but it is clear to see that things are not easy.
Hopefully, now that we’ve looked at Mauricio Umansky’s ethnic background, his relationship with his wife, and a little more about their personal struggles, we’ve cleared a few things up and have helped you get to know the pair. Can they save their marriage, we certainly hope so, and so do their fans.
