As for his personal life, Mauricio seems to be navigating some tough times. As fans might know, he has been married to ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘ star Kyle Richards since 1996. However, in October 2023, it was confirmed that the two had separated officially, though they continue to live in the same house. Together, the couple is navigating their new circumstances while trying to be there for their four daughters – Farrah Brittany, Alexia Umansky, Alexia Umansky, and Portia Umansky.
