Kyle Richards made a rare public appearance with estranged husband Mauricio Umansky during a frosty reunion Thursday morning in Los Angeles.
Two years after their shock split, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 56, and her real estate mogul ex, 55, appeared noticeably distant as they sat outside a café, seemingly locked in a serious discussion.
Sitting between them? An unidentified blonde woman with a laptop open on the table, appearing to play mediator.
Kyle, dressed in a yellow floral top and hiding behind dark sunglasses, looked stone-faced as she angled herself toward the woman — keeping her body turned away from Mauricio.
The Bravo star, who’s long been rumored to be in a romance with country singer Morgan Wade, didn’t crack a smile during the chilly exchange.
Mauricio, sporting a casual tee and jeans, also looked tense — sitting with legs apart and an unreadable expression as the conversation unfolded.

After the sit-down, Kyle made a brief move toward her ex, leaning over to seemingly offer a polite goodbye.
The chilly meet-up came just a month after the former power couple shared a frosty hug while arriving at Cipriani in Beverly Hills to celebrate their daughter Alexia’s 29th birthday.
Kyle and Mauricio also share three other daughters: 36-year-old Farrah, 25-year-old Sophia, and 17-year-old Portia.
Though they announced their separation in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage, the couple has yet to file for divorce.
In August 2023, just one month after their split, Kyle famously starred in Wade’s whimsical music video for Fall in Love with Me, where the two kissed, fed each other, and even shared a bubble bath.
Despite ongoing rumors of a romance with Wade, Kyle has not been publicly seen on any dates.
Mauricio, meanwhile, has been spotted with several women since the split, including models Nikita Kahn, 34, and Klaudia K, 33.
Meanwhile, fans worried Kyle might be stepping away from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills were reassured when creator Andy Cohen teased her return for season 15.

‘Kyle is coming back,’ Cohen revealed on Jenna & Friends with Jenna Bush Hager on June 13. “I don’t know if I’m supposed to announce that, but she is.”
He also hinted that Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, Jennifer Tilly, and Kyle’s sister Kathy Hilton would all be part of the new season’s cast.
Fashion designer Rachel Zoe is set to join the show as a newcomer.
‘Now, the great thing is she legitimately knows Boz, Sutton, Jennifer Tilly, Kathy Hilton. So, she knows them and she’s in that universe.
‘She’s going to fit right in perfectly,’ Cohen added.
Production on RHOBH season 15 has not yet begun.
