Anitta is opening up about her December 2023 ski outing with Lele Pons and Mauricio Umansky.
During a March 13 appearance on Watch What Happens Live!, the Brazilian superstar, 31, shared details behind the viral photos of her and Pons, 28, wearing only towels as they sipped champagne on the slopes with Umansky, 54, months after news broke of his separation from estranged wife Kyle Richards.
“I knew this was coming,” Anitta told host Andy Cohen, executive producer of the Real Housewives franchise, which introduced fans to Richards and Umansky. “I realized this was coming, like, five minutes ago.”

The “Envolver” singer added, “If I realized it before, I would have called him and said, ‘What do I say?’”
Anitta said Umansky is a “great person,” whom she met on the ski trip to in Aspen, Colorado and now remains “very good friends” with, noting that they continue to “always talk.”
Cohen then repeated her words and said, “Very good friends?”
“No, we became good friends,” replied Anitta.
The Watch What Happens Live! host urged that Umansky is “single” at the moment before wondering if “anything romantic” happened between him and the “Lose Ya Breath” artist.

“No,” she insisted.
Cohen also inquired about whether Anitta is “dating anyone” at the moment, to which she responded, “I don’t know.”
In December 2023, Umansky shared videos on his Instagram Story of his time on the slopes with Pons and Anitta — including one of them stripping down from clothes to bath towels. “Okay, so I’ve been officially asked to be the videographer for these two girls’ shenanigans,” he said at the time.
“Ay, ay! We are the funnest girls in the world, in the mountains! We know how to have fun, it’s time,” shouted Anitta in the clip.
The same week, Richards, 56, shared a picture of herself in Punta Mita, Mexico, enjoying the sunset by the ocean. “Sometimes we just need to escape reality for a bit,” she captioned the post, for which she turned off the comments.

Earlier this week, Richards and Umansky had an emotional, yet awkward chat on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills about the July 2024 photos of him kissing another woman.
He apologized for the moment, and she noted that they “are separated, and we’re allowed to do what we want in this time. It’s just strange.”
A new documentary about Anitta, titled Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta, is now available on Netflix.
