Richards, who is the longest-serving Real Housewife Of Beverly Hills and the only one to have lasted since season one, cut a casually stylish figure that day.

Her leggy new sighting comes days after she and Umansky united Tuesday to celebrate the Fourth of July in Aspen with their children.

Amid the speculation about Richards and Wade wearing rings, a separate wave of conjecture surrounded Richards and Umansky last spring after she was seen on an outing without her wedding ring.

He insisted, ‘I mean, it’s so dumb. That one stupid story that came out there, and then the girls all, you know, decided to talk about it on the Housewives, and so now it’s a storyline.’
Richards did not acknowledge the split on social media Monday, as she put up a slew of pictures of herself with her longtime friend Faye Resnick in a series of Instagram Stories posts to wish Resnick a happy 66th birthday.
Richards and Umansky are reportedly still living together amid their separation. They currently own three homes together, so it’s unclear which they are living in.
They purchased a sprawling mansion in Encino, California, for a whopping $8.2 million in October 2017.
The abode was formerly owned by Smokey Robinson, according to Page Six, who lived there from 1988 to 2002.
The 10,600-square-foot home was renovated right before it was sold to the pair, and it now boasts seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, eight fireplaces, a home theater, library, two powder rooms, numerous living spaces, a formal dining room, and modern kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances.
Outside, it offers a 1,600-square-foot guesthouse, a pool, spa, man-made creek, gazebo, and putting green.
The home was unfortunately burglarized in December 2017, while the family was vacationing in Aspen. The robber reportedly took over a million dollars in jewelry.
Afterwards, Kyle admitted that she considered selling the home, but ultimately decided to keep it.
‘There was one point after our house was burglarized that I thought, you know, I might have to sell my house,’ she said.
‘But then I look at my dogs and see how much they love this house and I think, I could never leave.
‘They’re so happy and it makes me so happy sitting out here in the morning having my coffee on the porch in my rocking chair, watching my dogs.’
They also own a home in La Quinta, California, which Kyle once explained that they first purchased as a vacation home but became their main residence during the COVID-19 pandemic because they needed ‘a change of scenery.’ They bought it in 2014 for $2.3…
