Mauricio Umansky dedicated his latest DWTS performance to his wife, Kyle Richards, amid rumors he’s dating his dancing partner Emma Slater.
Two days after being spotted holding hands with his Dancing With the Stars partner, Emma Slater, Mauricio Umansky dedicated his latest performance on the ABC dancing competition to his estranged wife, Kyle Richards.
On Tuesday night’s episode of DWTS, Mauricio Umasnky and Emma Slater danced to the song ‘Rise Up’ as the theme for this week’s performance was the “most important year of your life.”
The Buying Beverly Hills star dedicated the performance to Kyle because the year they got married was the most pivotal year of his life. Together, they were able to “rise up” and face any challenges head-on, all while building a beautiful family.
Mauricio opened up about the performance on Instagram.
He shared:
Tonight’s Dance on @dancingwiththestars is about life and how it’s not always perfect. When you think it’s impossible to move mountains, you’re at your lowest moment, and you think all doors are closed, you need to rise up and rise unafraid and move mountains. My time was 1996 when Kyle and I got married and Alexia was born. We had Farrah and Alexia. I was 26 when I was fired from my job and was broke. Kyle was my rock, and together we rose up, and we rose up 1000 x, and we moved mountains a lot of them. It’s been an incredible journey. Tonight’s dance is dedicated to Kyle and my Family. Some #BTS
This all comes just two days after TMZ caught Mauricio Umansky getting cozy with his Dancing With the Stars partner, Emma Slater, in Beverly Hills.
The two were photographed holding hands after exiting a restaurant on Sunday evening following a one-on-one dinner. There were no other signs of PDA between Mauricio Umansky and Emma, but they were coming off very couple-y.
Despite the photos, a source insisted that Mauricio Umansky and Emma’s dinner was strictly business as they were discussing their performance for Tuesday’s episode of DWTS.
Yet it seems like Kyle Richards didn’t get that memo.
On Monday, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG raised eyebrows on Monday when she deleted an Instagram post supporting Mauricio’s venture on DWTS.
Kyle deleted an Instagram post from September, where she urged her followers to vote for Mauricio and Emma on DWTS.
“Tonight!! @dancingwiththestars premiers with @mumanksy18 & @theemmaslater ? HOW TO VOTE ? YOU CAN VOTE UP TO 20 TIMES,” Kyle wrote alongside a DWTS promo picture of Mauricio and Emma.
It’s unclear when the post was deleted, but Bravo fans noticed it was missing from Kyle’s Instagram feed after Mauricio and Emma were spotted holding hands on Sunday.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 13 premieres Oct. 25 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
