Kyle Richards jumped to the comment section on Mauricio Umansky’s latest Instagram post on Friday as he showed off his fitness progress and jokingly penned, ‘Must be ozempic.’
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star, 54 – who denied that she was getting a divorce from the real estate broker, 53 – has previously slammed rumors that she has taken the drug to achieve weight loss.
In a slew of photos, Mauricio could be seen taking a few shirtless mirror selfies inside of a home gym to flaunt his toned figure. He could be seen wearing a pair of black shorts while a backwards cap was placed on top of his head.
While proudly showing off his progress thus far, he appeared to flash his wedding band following reports that the pair are ‘trying to work out their marriage.’
In the caption, Mauricio wrote, ‘I was planning on posting this for my Birthday but i was in Aspen and there has been a lot of noise. 6 years ago I was fat and out of shape,’ adding that, ‘the plan is to get better every year.’

To conclude the message, he added, ‘I need to post this to keep me going and every guy know you don’t post unless you just worked out and are all pumped up lol.’ Along with the latest progress snaps, he also shared a throwback image from when he was ‘out of shape.’
Kyle, who tied the knot with Umansky in 1996, typed out that he must be taking ‘ozempic,’ referencing to the claims that she took the drug – which she has adamantly denied.
In May, Kyle addressed speculation during an interview with Page Six, and stated, ‘I can say that I have never tried it and I have never taken it.’
She continued, ‘I’m not on any weight loss drug. If you know me, you know I have terrible anxiety so that would scare me to death. I have never, ever ever taken it.’
The star has often showed off her incredible figure on Instagram in an assortment of selfies, with some taken at the gym. Richards gave a shout out to her personal trainer, Cory Gregory, whom country singer Morgan Wade, introduced her to.
While the mother-of-four has denied taking Ozempic, other celebrities have publicly admitted to using the drug, such as Chelsea Handler, Sharon Osbourne, and also Golnesa ‘GG’ Gharachedaghi.
Aside from Richards, some of her fellow Real Housewives co-stars have also been accused of taking the drug, such as Erika Jayne, which Kyle commented on.
‘I don’t know about Erika, I have no idea, but I’m wondering why don’t people talk about her enough, she’s way skinnier than me,’ she explained, adding, ‘I’m like, ‘Why are people talking about me?’ I’m so confused because she’s really lost a lot of weight.’

Last month in June, shortly before news of Kyle and her husband’s separation came to light, Mauricio spoke to DailyMail.com and defended his wife over Ozempic rumors.
The real estate broke revealed, ‘We just kind of laugh. We don’t really care about it. We laugh about it. She’s already made her statement, and it is what it is. I mean, you know, there’s just nothing you can do about that.’
He then gushed, ‘She has been so amazing that you know, she completely quit drinking, and she literally works out every single day of her life, and it shows. And she’s f***ing crushing it.’
Umansky applauded Richards’ dedication to a fitness regime and labeled trolls ‘jealous,’ explaining, ‘It’s jealous people that don’t believe that you can do something without a substance. So … just good mental power.’
Earlier this month on July 3, a source told People that Kyle and Mauricio ‘have been separated for a while now but are still living under the same roof’ after 27 years of marriage and amid speculation that Richards had sparked up a romance with singer, Morgan Wade.
However, the pair soon issued a joint statement to deny plans for divorce – but made no comment on separating.
‘In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue,’ the text read. ‘However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage.’
‘But we both love and respect each other tremendously. There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part,’ the pair typed out and then asked for privacy as they ‘work through’ their ‘issues.’

‘While it might be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.’ In conclusion, the two added, ‘Thank you for the love and support,’ and signed both their names at the very bottom.
The reality star and real estate broker tied the knot back in 1996 and share three daughters: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. Mauricio is also stepfather to Richards’ daughter, Farrah, 34, from her previous marriage to Guraish Aldjufrie.
On Friday, during an interview with Billboard, Erika Jayne claimed that the couple were ‘not splitting’ but admitted, ‘They have had a very hard time. They’ve acknowledged that.’
She explained that she didn’t want to ‘fill in the blanks’ for Kyle and added, ‘I just know that, you know, it’s been very hard and you’ll get to see that. And she will be able to explain for herself and that’s where I’d like to leave that.’
To further prove that going their separate ways was not in the books, both Kyle and Mauricio, along with their daughters, whisked themselves away to celebrate the Fourth of July together in Aspen.
An insider revealed to Us Weekly published on Wednesday that the couple are taking steps to patch up their relationship. ‘They almost ended their marriage.’
‘But after the [split] news broke, they decided to give their relationship some more care and are building back up their foundation,’ the source expressed, adding that Kyle and Mauricio ‘really want to find a way to make it work.’

Along with Friday’s comment on Mauricio’s fitness post, Kyle and the real estate broke have recently dabbled in other flirtatious exchanges.
Earlier this week, Umansky shared a photo on Instagram as he read his book titled, The Dealmaker, and penned in the caption, ‘Can’t put my own book down lol. Who’s read the whole thing?’
The reality star humorously responded in the comment section, ‘I was going to ask you why are you reading your own book again?’
The two have also shared other posts recently that had captured special moments from their recent getaway to Aspen as they spent quality time together and were also joined by their daughters, and Alexia’s boyfriend, Jake Zingerman.
