AceShowbiz - Brazilian superstar Anitta and renowned real estate broker Mauricio Umansky found themselves at the center of a social media frenzy after a viral ski trip to Aspen in late 2023.

The visuals of Anitta, 31, and her friend Lele Pons skiing in nothing but towels while Umansky, 54, captured the moment on video quickly captivated fans, leaving many wondering about the nature of their relationship.

Anitta addressed the buzz during her appearance on "Watch What Happens Live" with Andy Cohen. "I knew this was coming!" she exclaimed when facing the host's curiosity.

She shared her genuine fondness for Mauricio, calling him "a great person" and "a great guy." The singer explained that she only met him a day before the memorable ski run. "Lele's crazy and I just say yes to the craziness that she proposed," Anitta elaborated. "Mauricio was the video maker. I met him that day or the day before or something like that."

When pushed for more details, Anitta reassured viewers that the two have remained in touch and have become "good friends." Andy Cohen's inquiry into whether there was any romantic connection between the pair was met with a coy pause by Anitta before she responded with a definitive, "No."

This viral moment came five months after Mauricio and his wife Kyle Richards, star of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", had announced their separation.

Mauricio has since moved, enjoying numerous flings with younger women. While Kyle was aware that they're free to see someone else, she couldn't help but feel hurt by his public display of affections.

On a recent episode of RHOBH, she stated, "Seeing these photos, I think makes it pretty clear that this is permanent, and I don't think it's going to be easy to come back from that."

She also revealed the emotional impact of these public incidents and her mixed feelings about their ongoing separation. Kyle has since removed "wife" from her Instagram bio, underscoring the ongoing changes in her life.

For his part, Umansky apologized to his estranged wife, "You know that I would never want to do anything on purpose that would hurt you or the kids. I really am sorry for hurting you."

Despite the turmoil, both Kyle and Mauricio are reportedly navigating their split amicably and focusing on co-parenting their three children.

As for Anitta and Mauricio, the narrative of their viral adventure remains one of fun and friendship, with both stars evidently enjoying life amidst the chaos of fame.
