Fans are red, white and confused.
Mauricio Umansky was seen wearing his wedding ring while spending the Fourth of July with his estranged wife, Kyle Richards — just one day after their separation was revealed.
The real estate broker took to Instagram Tuesday to share a carousel of photos and videos from the annual Independence Day parade in Aspen, Colo.
Though Umansky began the nine-slide post with a group shot featuring the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star and two of their daughters — Alexia, 27, and Portia, 15 — he made sure to include a picture of just them two (and one of their many dogs).
And on the Agency founder’s left hand, which he used to hold the pup’s leash, was his wedding band.
“Happy Independence Day. Hope everyone is having a great day 🙂 🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸,” he nonchalantly captioned the post, prompting one person to comment, “So we are going to act like nothing is happening? 😂😂.”
“Kyle can’t even fake a good smile!” someone else observed, as others also pointed out the duo’s seemingly forced “body language.”
“Y’all are just messing with us now huh,” another netizen remarked, which was followed by the comment: “😂😂😂😂 suddenly they come out like a big happy family … stop faking it what a coincidence right after the tabloids said they were separated they do this! but for like a month both didn’t even care to like each other pictures or posted any pictures together 😅😅😅.”
On Monday, a source told People that Umansky, 53, and Richards, 54 — who celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary in January — “have been separated for a while now.”
However, the source made sure to note that the two “are still living under the same roof” and “remain amicable as they figure out what’s next for them and their family.”

Hours later, the Bravolebrities released a joint statement via their respective Instagram accounts to make it clear that “any claims regarding [them] divorcing are untrue.”
“However, yes, we have had a rough year. The most challenging one of our marriage,” they admitted. “But we both love and respect each other tremendously.”
The estranged couple also appeared to address speculation about the nature of Richards’ somewhat new and seemingly intense relationship with country music singer Morgan Wade.
“There has been no wrongdoing on anyone’s part,” they insisted. “Although we are in the public eye, we ask to be able to work through our issues privately. While it may be entertaining to speculate, please do not create false stories to fit a further salacious narrative.”
Shortly after, the “Buying Beverly Hills” star and the “Halloween” actress were seen dining together at a restaurant in Aspen and seemed to not have any other guests with them.
The pair are also parents to daughter Sophia, 23, while Richards welcomed daughter Farrah, 34, with her first husband, Guraish Aldjufrie.
