Mauricio Umansky

Ten days after it was announced that he and Kyle Richards had ended their 27-year marriage, Mauricio Umansky posted a photo of his physical transformation.

The 53-year-old real estate broker captioned a series of Instagram pictures showing his weight loss journey, saying, “I was planning on posting this for my Birthday but I was in Aspen and there has been a lot of noise.

Umansky started the post by posting two images of himself posing in front of a gym mirror. He posted a shirtless throwback photo after the selfies.

Umansky continued in the caption, “6 years ago, I was overweight and out of shape. The goal is to improve annually. “I have to post this to keep myself going, and every guy knows you don’t post unless you’ve just worked out and are all pumped up,” the author wrote. “.

While the company owner received praise in the comments section, Richards, 54, also noticed his transformation and left a comment. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wrote, “Must be ozempic. It must be, Umansky wrote in response to Richards. “.

Richards was referring to Ozempic, a medication accepted by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes. Celebs have started using it more frequently to lose weight, though. Some medical professionals have complained that the trend is frustrating them.

According to Dr. Caroline Apovian, co-director of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital’s Center for Weight Management and Wellness in Boston, “the Hollywood trend is worrying.”. We’re not discussing celebrities who want to drop 10 pounds. We are referring to individuals who have already or will soon pass away from obesity. “.

Apovian continued, “You’re taking from diabetic patients.”.
Despite the fact that we have life-saving medications, the American public cannot access them when they most need them.

Richards has been accused of using Ozempic herself, but she has since denied this in an Instagram comment from January. Richards described the accusations as “frustrating” in an interview with ExtraTV in February because she puts “really hard work” into maintaining her physical appearance.

People who know me well understand that I wake up every day at around 5:30 a.m., so I find it offensive when they say that. m. 6 a. m. I’m in the gym for at least two hours, she said. “I put a lot of effort into my diet, exercise, and self-care, so when people like to assume that I took the simple route, it’s frustrating. “.

After sources told PEOPLE they had been split up for some time but were still cohabitating amicably, Richards and Umansky made the announcement of their split in a joint Instagram post hours later.

The source stated on July 3 that Kyle and Mauricio are still cohabitating under the same roof despite their separation. As they determine what will happen to them and their family, they continue to get along. “.

In reference to the news that was released today regarding us. Any claims of a divorce are false, according to the statement.
We have, however, had a difficult year.
Our marriage’s toughest one yet.
However, we have a great deal of love and respect for one another. “.
