Bozoma Saint John is sharing her honest thoughts on Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s relationship. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Thursday, March 5, where she revealed how she really feels about her fellow cast member and her estranged husband, who are currently separated.
During her sit-down with Andy Cohen on WWHL, Boz was asked about how she felt meeting Mauricio for the first time. The duo formally met during RHOBH Season 15, Episode 7, when she was out to dinner with Dorit Kemsley and Kyle, before Mauricio unexpectedly crashed the gathering, which left Boz a little shook.
“Wait, let me tell you, Mauricio has aura,” Boz told Andy. “He does. IÂ got it.”
This allowed Boz to understand Kyle a bit more, as she has been going through her separation from Mauricio since July 2023. “In that moment I was like, ‘Oh, Kyle, oooh girl…you in danger,'” she noted. “Yeah, yeah, he has aura.”

Boz continued, noting to Andy that unexpectedly meeting Mauricio at that dinner “absolutely” helped her understand Kyle. It also helped Boz understand why Kyle hasn’t filed for divorce from him just yet. “Cause I was like, ‘Girl, don’t let that man in the wild. Go get him back. Get your man,'” she said with a laugh.
During the WWHL After Show, Boz also addressed Kyle’s current state of mind after Dorit, who is also going through a separation, had said that Kyle needs to do “inner work on herself” before judging others. “I mean, I think Kyle is in a world of hurt as well; she just doesn’t show it in the same way Dorit does,” Boz noted.
