According to sources, there’s no going back on Kyle Richards’ relationship with estranged husband Mauricio Umansky as they are also being accused of dragging out their split for the sake of reality TV.

Around the same time, Kyle addressed a rumor that she moved out and is selling their Encino mansion – where the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars had been living in separate rooms.

Insiders told TMZ that the couple’s relationship reached a point of no return, and their closest loved ones would be shocked if they decided to reconcile.

The outlet was also told that some people close to Kyle and Mauricio think they’re dragging out their divorce and airing out their marital issues for the sake of reality TV.

But those around them aren’t shading the couple for doing this, and they believe exploiting the drama for business is a smart plan, so long as both stars are willing.

The sources claimed neither star has a reason to quickly file for a divorce because the couple has several homes between which they can bounce if things become too tense in the same house. They’ll apparently maintain a close friendship for the kids’ sake and also because of their shared history.

In a March 18 post, Kyle posed with her new dog Georgie – as fans speculated that she took the photo from a new home.

“Did you move??” asked one fan in the comments, to which Kyle responded, “No.”

A different user claimed, “House [is] for sale,” with a second adding, “Yes. It’s listed for 85 million.”

“No it’s not,” Kyle reacted, via Heavy.

“Kyle would likely never sell the house, she has emotional attachment. With her wealth and their business they could keep it no problem. Gives their girls stability. I doubt selling that home is on her top priority list,” a separate fan expressed.
