Kyle Richards and her daughters were in the ballroom audience when Mauricio Umansky made his debut on Dancing With the Stars season 32 on Tuesday night.

On the heels of her trip to Paris with Morgan Wade, 28, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 54, was spotted with her kids and Paul “PK” Kemsley as Mauricio, 53, danced a jive and was nearly eliminated from the ABC dancing competition.

“I am married to Kyle Richards,” Mauricio declared in his pre-dance interview. “We’ve been going through a rough year and I’m really hoping that Dancing With The Stars is gonna get my mind off it and to have some fun.”

As RHOBH fans have heard, Kyle and Mauricio reportedly separated after 27 years of marriage earlier this year but denied they are getting divorced — despite the ongoing rumors that have linked Kyle to Morgan.

After introducing himself to viewers, Mauricio took to the dance floor with pro partner Emma Slater, 34.

Following his performance, Mauricio received 15 out of 30 points and landed in the bottom two. However, he was ultimately chosen to move on over comedian Matt Walsh, who was sent home.

Throughout the episode, photos and videos of Kyle and Mauricio were shared, including a clip posted by PK that featured Kyle and her daughters sitting in the front row.

“Here at [Dancing With the Stars] to support [Mauricio Umansky],” PK wrote in a caption.

In a video shared to Mauricio’s page, he was seen backstage with fellow Bravolebrity Ariana Madix, 38, of Vanderpump Rules.

Mauricio also shared an image of his family, including Kyle, his daughters, and his mom, to his Story.

As for Kyle, she posted a photo Mauricio shared of himself and Emma and encouraged her fans and followers to tune in when her reportedly estranged husband made his debut.

Prior to the taping, Kyle confirmed she’d be present during an Amazon Live appearance.

“I will be there cheering Mauricio on with my girls. I feel like he’s gonna do great. He’s very excited,” she revealed. “He’s really, really enjoying that, so I will be there cheering him on for sure.”

Dancing With the Stars season 32 airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.
