Kyle Richards’ husband, Mauricio Umansky, recently shared his fitness transformation on Instagram, just ten days after news broke that he and Kyle have separated after 27 years of marriage. Umansky, a 53-year-old real estate broker, posted a series of photos that showcased his weight loss journey. The photos included selfies of Umansky at the gym, as well as a shirtless throwback photo.

In the caption for the post, Umansky explained that he had originally planned to share the photos for his birthday, but due to being in Aspen and dealing with a lot of noise, he decided to share them at a later date. He also expressed his determination to improve his fitness every year, stating, “the plan is to get better every year.” Umansky humorously added that he needed to post the photos to keep himself motivated, noting that guys typically only post pictures when they have just worked out and are feeling pumped up.

While Umansky received praise in the comments section, his wife Kyle also saw his transformation and left a playful comment suggesting that his weight loss may be due to Ozempic, a drug popular among celebrities for weight loss. However, Umansky replied in agreement with his wife’s comment, indicating that the transformation was achieved through his own hard work.

Ozempic, which is FDA-approved for those with type 2 diabetes, has raised concerns among some doctors who believe that it is being used as a weight loss tool by individuals who do not have diabetes. Dr. Caroline Apovian from Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston expressed frustration with the trend, stating that it takes away from patients who actually need the drug to manage their diabetes.

Kyle Richards herself has been accused of using Ozempic but has denied these claims. In a previous Instagram comment, she defended her dedication to exercise and healthy eating, emphasizing that she puts in a lot of effort to maintain her physique and does not take any shortcuts.

The couple announced their separation in a joint statement on Instagram, confirming that they have been living apart for some time but remain amicable. They acknowledged that the past year has been challenging for their marriage but reassured fans that they still love and respect each other.

As the public follows their journey, it is clear that both Kyle and Mauricio are focused on their individual well-being. While Kyle continues to refute allegations about her use of Ozempic, Mauricio’s fitness transformation serves as a testament to his commitment to health and self-improvement. Whether they decide to reconcile or pursue separate paths, their dedication to personal growth is evident.
