She has been happily married to Mauricio Umansky for almost 19 years, but little has been known about the fiancé Kyle Richards had when they met.

After squirming for a while when she was grilled about the mysterious relationship on Watch What Happens Live, Kyle told Andy Cohen: ‘Michael Tuck, CBS. Action news.’

Former flame: Kyle Richards has revealed she was engaged to CBS newscaster Michael Tuck (seen right in 1995, a year after their split) when she met husband Mauricio Umansky
Tuck is 24 years the actress turned reality star’s senior – she will turn 46 next month and he is in his late 60s.
The newscaster was an anchor at CBS from 1990 until 2000, after appearing on News 8 in San Diego.
With her family in the audience, Kyle couldn’t help but squirm when Andy brought up the topic during the TV appearance on Tuesday.

Kyle was also married to the father of her eldest child Farrah, Guraish Aldjufrie, at the age of 18, but they separated after two years in 1990.
The brunette beauty then had a relationship with Tuck before meeting real estate broker Mauricio in 1994.
Kyle was four months pregnant with her second eldest daughter Alexia when she married Mauricio in January 1996, and the pair went on to have two more daughters together.
