Watch: Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky Address Divorce Rumors

Like Kyle Richards once said, the truth always has a way of rising to the top.

And these days, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is setting the record straight on where she stands with husband Mauricio Umansky after breakup rumors surfaced online.

In the July 11 post, Kyle posted a slew of pictures from her recent vacation to Aspen, including a group shot of herself, Mauricio and daughters Farrah, 34, Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23 and Portia, 15.

After one user wrote, "We love 'damage control' Kyle," the 54-year-old responded, "If y'all like to read into every little crumb, read into this [middle finger emoji]."

Kyle's post also showed a video of the family in the car on the way to her niece Whitney Davis' wedding—with Mauricio behind the wheel and the Bravo personality smiling from the passenger seat—as well as footage of sister Kathy Hilton.

She captioned the photo dump, "June," with a heart-eyes emoji

The post comes one week after Kyle and Mauricio, 53, addressed speculation they were divorcing after 27 years of marriage. 

"Any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue," read a joint statement shared to Instagram July 4. "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 continued, "While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative. Thank you for the love and support."

Since then, Mauricio has also posted several family snapshots with Kyle. In a July 4 post, the couple were seen smiling next to one another alongside their dog.

"Happy Independence Day," the real estate agent wrote in the caption. "Hope everyone is having a great day :)."
