Kyle Richards on the beginning of her relationship with Mauricio Umansky
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky's love story began at a point when they had little more than their love for each other. In a recent interview on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live, Kyle revealed the financial struggles they faced early in their marriage. Without a penny to their name, the couple relied on the support of family, with Kyle's mother lending them money and Mauricio's grandparents extending a helping hand during tough times, including a Christmas when they couldn't afford presents.
"We did not have a prenup. My husband did not have a penny when I married him. My mom lent us money when we were first married. There was one Christmas that we didn't have any money for Christmas presents. My mom gave me money and his grandparents helped us. We built everything together,” she said while going down memory lane. 
With there was no prenuptial agreement in place, Kyle firmly stated that their financial assets would be divided equally, as they are pondering over a fair 50-50 split. “It's our money. Let's be very clear about that. It's very clean cut. Everything's half, regardless. That's not an issue for me. We would probably just keep our homes. We don't fight. We're not a toxic couple. You never would see fighting in our home ever... We would just go our separate ways and maybe keep the houses," she shared.

If it was one of those situations where you're like, 'Oh, I can't stand this guy,' this would be so easy for me. It would be very easy. I can guarantee you that I do not want to be in this position. I never wanted to be in this position.
