In the world of reality television, the private lives of stars are often thrust into the public eye. Mauricio Umansky, known for his appearances on Bravo's Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, is currently finding himself caught in the storm of public scrutiny as he deals with his separation from his estranged wife, Kyle Richards. The couple, who shocked fans in July with the announcement of their split after 27 years of marriage, have continued to live under the same roof but in separate rooms.

According to an insider, Mauricio is growing tired of the constant drama surrounding their separation and has decided to distance himself from the "misery" that has overshadowed their once incredible relationship. The source revealed exclusively to DailyMail.com, "His relationship with Kyle was incredible, they have their kids, their wonderful memories, and now it is misery. He has a choice to stay in that misery or try to move away from it. He is choosing to move away from it, that is why he didn't attend BravoCon. It is just endless drama that he doesn't need."

BravoCon, a recent event that brought together stars from various Bravo reality shows, saw Kyle Richards openly discuss the details of their split, even referring to it as a "divorce" for the first time. Mauricio had reportedly been dreading the event, as he prefers to work through their issues behind closed doors. Prioritizing their privacy, Mauricio believes that their time on reality television has contributed to the breakdown of their relationship, an affliction he refers to as the "reality show relationship curse."

The insider shared, "Mauricio truly believes in the reality show relationship curse, it sucks that he is now part of it but to rise above it is his only option. He is hoping they can deal with it behind closed doors in the foreseeable future, even though that will be impossible."

During a panel at BravoCon, the emotional topic of her marriage caused Kyle to break down in tears. She emphasized, "We love each other very much and we are family no matter what happens. We're trying to figure it out. We know we love each other."

Mauricio, who recently participated in Dancing with the Stars, has shown resilience amidst the public chaos, shutting down rumors of a romance with his dance partner, Emma Slater. The couple has yet to take legal steps or consult lawyers, signaling that they may not be on the path towards divorce. It is uncertain how their assets would be divided, as they do not have a prenuptial agreement in place.

Amidst the challenges of their public separation, Mauricio and Kyle have three daughters together: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia Umansky, 15. Additionally, Kyle's eldest child, Farrah, from a previous marriage also works with Mauricio at his real estate company, The Agency.

As the public eye remains fixated on their situation, Mauricio's desire for privacy and the resolution of their issues behind closed doors is clear. In the midst of the storm, Mauricio remains hopeful that they can rise above the public scrutiny and find a way to navigate their separation with dignity and respect.
