Kyle Richards ditched the word 'wife' from her Instagram and shared a sizzling new selfie, a day after her ex Mauricio Umansky was seen kissing a mystery woman.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 55, showed off her figure on Thursday, as she celebrated two years of alcohol sobriety.
She also updated her Instagram bio, which now reads: 'Mom, actor, author, producer, animal lover, a RHOBH, CAA.' Her previous bio had the word 'wife' in the second position.
Her Twitter profile still has 'wife' in it, though she seldom uses the platform. Kyle previously dropped Umanksy from her name on social media in May, but kept 'wife' in her bio.
In her new post the TV personality posed in her home gym, wearing a black sports bra and a pair of black leggings.

She flexed her bicep while taking a mirror selfie of her toned physique.
She also added a lengthy caption to the post, writing how the 'hardest part' of sobriety has been 'the resistance' from friends, and those who loved the 'party Kyle.'
'This week was my 2 year anniversary of being alcohol free (July 15th) I can remember a time when the idea of going 2 weeks seemed impossible,' her lengthy caption read.
'I'm proud of the fact that I’ve had the willpower to stay on this path. I know many people would love for me to start drinking again.'
'Even friends with the best of intentions. Everyone loved "Party Kyle". I think that was the hardest part of all of this. The resistance from others. The old me, the people pleaser, did struggle with that aspect of it. And I realized right away that I wasn’t going to have a ton of encouragement.'
'But I've dropped enough splits and whipped enough pony tails to know when it's time to call it a day (ok, I may still drop a split here and there. Sorry) But my mental and physical health became a lot more important to me than feeling like I had to be "on" at a party or social setting.'
'I'm not going to lie… the fact that I looked better because I wasn't drinking was also incentive to not veer from the road I am on. But the real reward is how I feel on the inside. I feel strong, energetic and grateful for my body. I want to take care of it like it has taken care of me.'
She went on: 'It would have been a lot harder going through these difficult times if I had been drinking.'
'I want to wake up every day feeling my best. Mentally & physically strong enough to face whatever comes my way.'

Along with her sobriety journey, the TV personality has been on a fitness journey as well and works with fitness trainer, Cory Gregory
'Many strangers come up to me and tell me that I have inspired them to start their own alcohol free journey. That makes me happy and inspires me in return. So, thank you for that.'
She wrapped up the caption writing, 'I often think of the Ernest Hemingway quote "I drink to make other people more interesting." Personally, I prefer to see people and situations just as they are. AND without the hangxiety ❤️ #alcoholfree.'

The day prior, on Wednesday, pictures emerged of her ex Mauricio, 54, passionately kissing a mystery blonde woman in Greece this week - one year after splitting from Kyle.
Real estate mogul Umansky, 54, looked happier than ever as he was greeted at Mykonos airport by a glamorous companion.
The pair wrapped their arms around one another and shared a steamy kiss before smiling at each other while hugging.
The woman appeared to be at least 20 years younger than Umansky but her identity is currently unknown.
Umansky had previously sparked dating rumors with his DWTS pro partner Emma Slater, 35 - but the sighting marks the first time he has been seen romantically with a new woman.

Kyle and Mauricio separated in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage but continued to live together until May, when they confirmed that he had moved out.
The pair share three daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 24, and Portia, 16, with Kyle also mom to daughter Farrah, 35, whose father is her first husband Guraish Aldjufrie.
Kyle recently addressed rumors of a potential romance confirmation with country music star Morgan Wade, 29.
She debunked a blind item that claimed she and Morgan were planning to go public with their relationship on a magazine cover.
During an Amazon Live session, Kyle said, 'That is not true. That blind item is not about me,' adding, 'Gotta be about somebody else! So, I wonder who it is. Now you have me curious.'
The blind item hinted at a younger country singer planning to unveil a romance with an older woman on a prestigious magazine cover, a speculation many tied to the reality star.
The original rumor was emailed to DeuxMoi and read: 'Country music singer is set to premiere their relationship in a very public way. The loved-up pair shot a highly coveted magazine cover which will drop shortly and be a shock to many.'
The email that sent it in read '[email protected],' causing many fans to link it back to Kyle and Morgan.
The pair's friendship has made headlines since Kyle announced her separation from husband Umansky.

The Kyle and Morgan romance rumors hit an all-time high in August, after Kyle joined Morgan in her music video for her single Fall In Love With Me, which featured the two women pining for each other and climaxed with a passionate kiss between them.
In March Kyle shared that she was 'curious' about kissing a woman as she discussed her steamy cameo in the music video.
'I never actually kissed anybody on camera — let alone a woman — or off camera,' the Halloween actress told host Andy Cohen during Season 13 Real Housewives Beverly Hills reunion.
'So I was very nervous and anxious, but if I'm being honest with myself, I was obviously curious in order to say yes,' she added.
Kyle also insisted that the video — which was released in August 2023 — was filmed a month before it was revealed that she and her estranged husband Mauricio had separated in July 2023.
