'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star previously said 'any claims regarding us divorcing are untrue'
"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards claims her recent message about saying goodbye has nothing to do with her separation from Mauricio Umansky.
In a since-deleted Instagram story, the reality television star uploaded a picture of trees in Colorado with the message, "Parting is such sweet sorrow," US Weekly reported.
After the speculation on what the quote meant, Richards commented on Instagram, saying that the message has nothing to do with her estranged husband.
"This was in regards to having to leave Aspen!" she commented on an Instagram post about her message, adding "deleted."
