"Rumor had it over the holidays that you and Mau were canoodling, and there were rumors that you were going to get back together. What's your response?" Andy Cohen, the executive producer of The Real Housewives franchise, asked Kyle.
"It honestly was just that someone just made that story up," Kyle replied.
She added, "I don't know where that story came from. We were with the whole family. He was kind of doing his own thing and I was with my girls."
During a recent episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dorit Kemsley was shown wondering why Kyle hadn't officially filed for divorce yet. She wondered if a part of Kyle was hoping to reunite with Mauricio down the road.
Andy therefore asked Kyle if she's gotten "any closer to filing for divorce" from Mauricio, 55.
"So, umm, we have had conversations that we had not had during this season since then," Kyle said during her WWHL appearance late last month.
"We still haven't filed, but we've had conversations about what it's going to look like and all of that."
Kyle and the real estate broker sparked rumors they may be reconciling when they were spotted looking pretty cozy at Kate Hudson and Cade Hudson's celebrity-packed New Year's Eve party in Aspen, CO, Page Six reported.
The reality TV star and Mauricio were also photographed in Aspen on Christmas Eve with their daughters Alexia, 29, Sophia, 25, and Portia, 17, as well as Kyle's daughter Farrah, 37.
Sophia captured many of the family's sweet moments on TikTok, including when Kyle and Mauricio apparently watched a movie together.
"My parents watching their little movie and eating their little popcorn on the floor like little kids," she wrote over the footage.

Kyle and Mauricio got married in January 1996 and separated in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage.
While Kyle considered herself single in October, she told People at the time it won't be that way forever.
"Right now, I'm just enjoying being by myself and with my girls and traveling and enjoying the time I have off from shooting," she said.
"I just had a girls' weekend in Nashville. We had the best time. It's like all the fall vibes. And I'm good."
Kyle also noted that she "of course" hopes she'll "get married again" one day because she "really enjoys being married."
Kyle was last rumored to be dating musician Morgan Wade.
Romance speculation swirled after Kyle appeared in Morgan's music video for her song "Fall in Love with Me."
During The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Season 14 reunion special, Kyle reportedly said she felt "guilty" about dragging Morgan into the spotlight and it caused her "anxiety" because she "doesn't want to be a part of that."

"The biggest advice that they give from their perspective is: 'Dad, we want you to be happy. We want you to enjoy yourself, but be age-appropriate,'" Mauricio said at the time.
Mauricio said his daughters talk to him about dating all the time and want him to "be out there" more.
Back in April 2025, Kyle insisted that she and Mauricio were still "very good friends" and planned to stay that way.
"Mauricio and I get along really well," she shared last year. "You know, we both want the best for each other. We love our daughters... I have his back. He has mine."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills premiered its fifteenth season in early December on Bravo.
Kyle will also be one of the Housewives starring on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th, which is slated to premiere on Bravo later this year.
Bravo had announced the cast of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th in January.
