Mauricio Umansky showed his support for Emma Slater during the “Dancing With the Stars” tour, sparking rumors of romance due to their strong chemistry, although they have denied dating. Umansky’s estranged wife, Kyle Richards, expressed discomfort seeing them together, amidst their ongoing separation without having filed for divorce.
Emma Slater received support from her former “Dancing With the Stars” partner Mauricio Umansky during the show’s tour, amidst their past romance rumors and his separation from estranged wife Kyle Richards.
Oh, the glitz and the glam! Mauricio Umansky and Emma Slater found themselves back together, but this time, it was during the Dancing With the Stars tour. A little reunion that had fans buzzing, for sure.
Emma couldn’t hide her excitement. She took to Instagram, gushing about how thrilled she was to see Mauricio again. “So happy to see @mumansky18 last night,” she wrote. It’s like, if you’ve met him, you know he’s a gem. And guess what? He totally stole the spotlight, just by being there in the audience.
They even shared a cozy moment backstage. The Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, California, became their mini rendezvous spot. And when it was time to say goodbye? That happened right outside the venue.
Mauricio wasn’t shy about his feelings either. He hopped onto Instagram Stories, calling the DWTS crew “rockstars.” You could feel the love and admiration he had for the whole experience.
Now, let’s take a quick detour. Did you know that DWTS has been like Cupid for some of its contestants? Yep, engagements, babies, and true love have all sprung from the dance floor. Take Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev, for instance. They danced their way right into each other’s hearts. But back to our main story…
Mauricio and Emma were quite the pair in season 32. They even tackled the Argentine tango before getting the boot in week six. Post-season, Emma didn’t miss a beat and jumped right into the live tour, dancing alongside Alan Bersten, Gleb Savchenko, Rylee Arnold, and other pros.
Rumors started swirling around Mauricio and Emma. Their chemistry was undeniable, sparking whispers of a possible romance. Especially when they were caught holding hands in October 2023. Dinner dates and hand-holding? Sounds like a plot from a rom-com!
But hold up, they set the record straight. In a rehearsal video, they addressed the rumors head-on. “For full clarity, we are not dating,” Mauricio clarified. It was just a moment, caught by the paparazzi, that got blown out of proportion.
Kyle Richards, Mauricio’s estranged wife, had her say too. On a podcast, she admitted that seeing Mauricio with someone else was strange. After nearly 28 years of marriage, it’s understandable.
In July 2023, amidst the whirlwind of rumors, Kyle and Mauricio made it clear they weren’t heading for divorce. They acknowledged the rough patch in their marriage but asked for respect and privacy. They remain separated, with no immediate plans for divorce.
Life’s a dance, they say. And for Mauricio, Emma, and Kyle, it seems the music’s still playing. Let’s see where their steps lead them next.
