After 27 years, it was an impressive development – except, perhaps, for Allison DuBois.
There have been a lot of developments since then, so let’s dive in and discuss whether Kyle and Mauricio are still married.

Remarkably, Mauricio’s report matches last fall’s report that Kyle was looking for space after more than a quarter of a century of marriage.
“She told me, ‘Listen, the rules are that, you know, you go out, date, do whatever you want,’” Mauricio detailed.
He described Kyle as telling him: “’I’m not going to ask what you’re doing. I don’t want you to ask me what I’m doing. Like, we’re separated.’”

“You know, you’re pregnant and breastfeeding. And then it was working and juggling the kids and you kind of forget, and then it resurfaces again,” Kyle described.

“And I think I reached a, I would say, breaking point, honestly,” Kyle explained.

“And I’ve been through a lot,” she emphasized. “I lost my best friend and I think that really changes you and makes you see things differently.” Kyle is referring to the tragic suicide death of Lorene Shea in 2022.
