It’s been about six months since Mauricio Umansky and Kyle Richards confirmed their separation. Since then, we’ve seen Mau partying it up in Aspen with Brazilian singer Anitta. He sparked romance rumors with his Dancing with the Stars partner Emma Slater by holding hands with her in public. In the early days of the separation, he seemed pretty eager to move on. Allegedly, that’s not the case.

The Buying Beverly Hills star recently chatted with E! News about his dating life. He claimed that he was in no rush to start dating while he navigated his split from Kyle. He could have fooled us.

Obviously, the split from Kyle has taken a toll on the entire family. Mau has to find a new place to live. Their four daughters are devastated. When talking about his life after separation, Mauricio shared how he’s taking things “one day at a time.”

“I’m spending a lot of time by myself and kind of getting to learn myself and enjoy myself,” Mauricio said of his single life.

When some people go through a breakup, they immediately run to Tinder and start swiping like their lives depend on it. That’s not the case for Mauricio. He said he’s more focused on himself, and of course, The Agency.

Mauricio added, “I’ve been enjoying that process. I’m not in a rush to do anything at the moment. Not in a rush—period. I am enjoying the journey, and I’m learning from myself.”

Mauricio has been sharing “the journey” on social media. For example, just the other day, he was performing a TikTok dance with his friend on the side of a snowy mountain. He’s also promoting the heck out of Season 2 of Buying Beverly Hills, which is expected to add more context to his breakup from Kyle.

Buying Beverly Hills Season 2 premieres on Netflix on Friday, March 22.

Below Deck’s Ben Willoughby on His ‘Unheard Of’ Docking as Bosun

At this point, we all know that yachting isn’t for the faint of heart, but for Below Deck star Ben Willoughby, Season 11 has been particularly difficult.

He came into the charter season as the lead deckhand, but when bosun Jared Woodin got fired by Captain Kerry Titheradge, Ben suddenly had to step up into the bosun role. Then, the interior crew ended up short-handed when Cat Baugh decided to exit. In Season 11, Episode Season 7, Ben accurately described the state of affairs as “full circus mode.”

With the circus behind him, Ben chatted with Us Weekly and reflected on his first docking experience as a bosun. Everyone lived, and the boat successfully made it into the dock. But in retrospect, Ben felt surprised by how they pulled it off.

With the boat down two crew members, there was a ton of pressure on the last charter. After Jared got fired, the interior crew planned on picking up some of the slack. Cat’s exit threw a wrench in that plan. Ben recalled that when it was time to dock the boat after an especially long charter, everyone was feeling the pressure.

“This is the longest charter we had all season — four days long. We’re already a man down [with Jared], but it’s nothing that I think we can’t handle. It’s unheard of [though when we] first [are] coming off the dock,” Ben explained.

He continued, “You’ve got two deck members [on the boat] while Sunny [Marquis] is on the tender. You wouldn’t do that. I don’t even know if it’s legal, to be honest.”

Ready for the challenge

Although Ben’s first days as a bosun on St. David were a little rough and possibly illegal, he confessed that he was more than ready for the challenge. Before Season 11, he worked as a bosun on a different vessel. He said he felt pretty bummed that he didn’t get the job in the first place.

Ben explained, “So, when I was asked to come back, and I was actually taking a step down back to the lead deckhand, I was like, ‘Damn, I’ve got to bite my tongue a bit here and see what kind of circus this person’s running.’”

When reflecting on the tumultuous charter season, Ben said that it was initially “difficult” to go back into the lead deckhand role — especially with Jared as his superior. Ultimately, Ben was glad that Jared got to be the guinea pig for the bosun role. He got to see all of Jared’s failures as a big learning experience. When he stepped in to replace Jared, Ben said he knew exactly what not to do.

“I’m glad that he took the first run at it, so I could see how to do it and what Kerry was like and where he demanded things,” Ben explained. “Especially in the docking situations … I could tell that Jared was stumbling and fumbling. So I knew that that’s where I just had to be on my A-game.”

Below Deck Season 11 continues on Bravo, Monday nights at 9/8c.

Quad Webb’s Biggest Married to Medicine Regret Revealed

Throughout her 10 seasons on Married to Medicine, we have seen Quad Webb in quite a few messy predicaments, but does she have any regret? From accusations about “lesbian relationships” to nasty rumors about robberies, Quad has always been an essential part of the drama. This season, her reign of chaos caught up with her, and the rest of the cast tried to ice her out of the group.

Quad is normally unapologetic about her reality TV shenanigans. However, a Watch What Happens Live caller recently challenged her to confess to one regret from her time on the show. Just one.

It took her a second to come up with a regret, but her answer surprisingly had nothing to do with any of the ladies. Instead, she described a cringeworthy scene she shared with her ex-husband Dr. Greg Lunceford in Season 5.

Embarrassed by Dr. Greg

Quad admitted that she’s “not perfect” and has “made a lot of mistakes.” It seemed like she almost wanted to reference a regret related to the M2M ladies. Then, she backtracked and started thinking about her ex-husband.

“My ex-husband and I, we were in a marital focus group, and we were kind of trying to work through some of our issues,” Quad recalled.

She continued, “The biggest regret I had is when I was pouring my heart out to him. He literally began to foam out the mouth and shake and fall out as if he was having convulsions.”

If you don’t know what Quad is referring to, thankfully Bravo has the clip living in infamy on YouTube. Please relive this moment with us because the behavior is truly unhinged. Sorry, Quad.

On WWHL, Andy Cohen seemed a little puzzled that this moment was Quad’s biggest regret. How is Dr. Greg making a fool of himself a regret for Quad? She clarified how this moment felt like a nasty combination of hurt and embarrassment, making her regret the whole scene.

“I was embarrassed for him,” Quad explained. “I was embarrassed that’s what you feel about our marriage. It was kind of hurtful.”

Watching back the clip of the martial focus group, you could tell that Quad was sincerely trying to make progress in her marriage. It’s a shame that Dr. Greg was so callous. At least these days, Quad can rest well knowing he’s someone else’s problem.

Married to Medicine Seasons 1-10 are all streaming on Peacock.

Farrah Aldjufrie ‘Hopeful’ for ‘Amazing Parents’ Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky Amid Their Split

A little bit of optimism never hurt anyone, right? Farrah Aldjufrie has a lot of it when discussing her parents’ separation. The Buying Beverly Hills star recently shared that she’s feeling hopeful for her parents, Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky.

It’s been about six months since the reality TV power couple announced their separation. Kyle and Mau have slowly started divulging bits and pieces about what went wrong. The information they failed to give us on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been teased in Season 2 of Buying Beverly Hills.

In a sneak peek from Buying Beverly Hills Season 2, we saw Mauricio sit down and break the news to his daughters about the breakup. At the time, Farrah admitted to having a hard time wrapping her head around the news. However, she recently talked to Us Weekly, and it sounds like she’s had a slight change of perspective since filming Season 2.

Staying positive

Of course, dealing with your parents breaking up is tough. Having it play out on not one but two reality shows must be a doozy. When asked about the family’s rough patch, Farrah admitted that it was unfamiliar territory for their household. Regardless, she said that she and her sisters feel confident that there’s a “bright future” ahead for them. Whether or not that bright future ends with a divorce remains unclear.

“We’re very, very hopeful. We’re a very strong family, we’re very resilient,” Farrah told the outlet. “We have two amazing parents, the best sisters in the world. Given the circumstances, I don’t think it could be any better or we could be handling it any better.”

Farrah said that she and her sisters are all trying to look for silver linings where they can find them. Meanwhile, Kyle recently shared that Mauricio is looking to move out of their shared home. Perhaps a little distance will make everything a little easier to navigate for the whole family.

Buying Beverly Hills Season 2 premieres on Netflix on Friday, March 22.
