Kyle Richards Playfully Attributes Her Husband’s Weight Loss to Ozempic

• Kyle Richards playfully suggested that her husband Mauricio Umansky’s weight loss can be attributed to Ozempic.
• She made this remark on Instagram after Umansky revealed that he has been on a fitness journey for six years.
• Richards’ lighthearted comment comes in response to recent rumors about their divorce, which they have denied.

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards humorously teased her husband Mauricio Umansky’s fitness journey in a comment left under a shirtless selfie he recently shared.

In an Instagram carousel posted on Friday, the 54-year-old Umansky showcased the results of his six-year journey to get fit. The carousel, which has garnered over 51,300 likes as of Saturday, included two recent photos taken at the gym by the “Buying Beverly Hills” star and a third picture from a few years ago.

“I was planning on posting this for my Birthday but I was in Aspen and there has been a lot of noise,” he wrote. “6 years ago I was fat and out of shape.”

“The plan is to get better every year,” he added. “I need to post this to keep me going and every guy know you don’t post unless you just worked out and are all pumped up lol.”

Among the comments was one from Richards, his wife of 27 years, who jokingly wrote: “Must be Ozempic.”

Richards, 53, has previously refuted rumors that she uses weight-loss medication like Ozempic after receiving numerous comments speculating about her use of semaglutide in a photo she posted on Instagram on January 5, in which she was wearing workout clothes.

In an interview with Extra in February, Richards expressed her frustration with these accusations.

This light-hearted comment also comes shortly after reports emerged claiming that Richards and Umansky were heading for a divorce. As previously reported by Insider’s Eve Crosbie, the rumors began circulating after an unnamed source mentioned the couple’s separation in an article published by People on July 3.

In response to the reports, both Richards and Umansky shared a joint statement on their Instagram accounts denying the rumors.

While acknowledging the challenges they have faced in their marriage over the past year, they stated that there has been no wrongdoing and requested privacy to work through their issues.

“Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately,” they added. “While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
