Kyle and Mauricio tied the knot in 1996.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais has admitted that she was ‘suspicious’ over Kyle Richards’ marriage to Mauricio Umansky.
The 54-year-old’s marriage to the real estate mogul, 53, was firmly placed in the spotlight last week amid reports that they had decided to get a divorce.
The couple, who tied the knot in 1996, denied the claims in a public statement, but explained that they had gone through a ‘rough year’.
After it was revealed that Bravo cameras have picked back up to capture the fallout at the end of season 13, the RHOBH star gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from the upcoming scenes.
Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen asked the Coming to America actress: ‘Was Kyle’s marriage a topic of conversation this season?’
‘Yes, for sure,’ she replied. ‘Sutton [Stracke] and I were suspicious.’

Discussing whether she had reached out to Kyle since her marriage made headlines, Garcelle added: ‘I sent her a text asking her if she was okay, and she said, ‘I’m hanging in there.”’
Kyle and Mauricio first met in the early 90s and walked down the aisle in 1996, before going on to welcome daughters Alexia, Sophia and Portia together.
The Halloween actress is also mom to daughter Farrah Brittany from a previous marriage, with her eldest child working alongside Mauricio at The Agency brokerage.
Their relationship was thrown into the spotlight this month when an insider alleged that they had decided to go their separate ways after 27 years of marriage.

Swiftly addressing the rumors, the couple released a joint statement to squash speculation – but admitted that they had faced a rough patch.
‘In regards to the news that came out about us today… Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue,’ they shared on their separate Instagram pages.
‘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. Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through parishes privately.

‘While it might be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.’
In the wake of the drama, Bravo bosses decided to briefly resume filming on season 13 of RHOBH, to ensure it was included in the upcoming episodes.
‘This development has rocked the Bravo world,’ an insider told Page Six.
‘Producers know fans want a glimpse into how Kyle and Mauricio came to this decision.’
Andy, who serves as executive producer on the Real Housewives, teased that viewers would see the drama unfold.
Appearing on his SiriusXM show, a fan questioned: ‘Are you guys going to pick back up filming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after Kyle and Mauricio announced their split, like you did with Sandoval?’
Clearly struggling to find the right words in response, Andy replied: ‘What am I going to say to this?
‘I want to say that this will be included next season of Beverly Hills in some way shape or form. That’s all I’ll say.’
