BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA: Bravo fans recently had reason to wonder if the ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ star Kyle Richards found herself a new husband. Kyle, who is married to real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky, shared an image with her best friend Justin Sylvester on her Instagram, which sparked a heated debate in the comments section.

The 'RHOBH’ housewife shared a photo of herself with Justin as the two are seated in an upscale restaurant in Beverly Hills, and Justin is caught lovingly staring at the housewife as she smiles at a small silver box in her hands. The box closely resembled an engagement ring box, but it was perhaps her caption that confused most netizens. Kyle wrote, “For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health… #bffs. 🎄❤️”

The "sweet" photo made several netizens wonder if the Beverly Hills housewife is engaged to Justin, who apparently identifies as gay. One person commented, “That’s not her husband! Is she getting divorced now?” Another joked, “I glanced at this and thought to myself mauricio looks different. 😂” A netizen asked, “Who is the man?” Meanwhile, another wondered aloud, “Where is Maurício ?? Are you divorced ?!” Summing up the confusion, someone tweeted, “I thought that was a marriage proposal. 💀💀💀” Someone even thought Justin was Mauricio and stated, “I totally thought that was Mauricio for a full minute.”



 

A few “true” fans of ‘RHOBH’ jumped to the rescue by responding to the confused comments, as one wrote, “Y’all have gone crazy. If you can’t see Kyle is having a will and grace moment idk what to tell ya. Why assume she left her husband 😂😂😂😂 do you even really follow her? That’s a No Lol.” Another added, “I wanna see more Justin on the show 🫶🏼 love your friendship.” A fan added, “YALL KNOW THIS MAN IS GAY RIGHT LMAO.” Meanwhile, a netizen wrote, “Geez people!! Why so confused?? It says #bff in the caption. 🙄”

For the uninitiated, Justin was originally Kyle's assistant and starred on 'RHOBH' before becoming a familiar face in entertainment news. Justin earlier explained in an interview in 'Today with Hoda & Jenna' how Kyle was a true friend by giving him her unconditional support. He noted that she went on to give him her love and friendship and that the reality star's acceptance of him made a world of difference. The two have been best friends ever since she invited him to her "Gays and Gals" party.
