The 'Buying Beverly Hills' real estate agent and 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star separated in July after 27 years.
Mauricio Umansky was all smiles as he reunited with his former dance partner, Emma Slater, from Dancing With the Stars. The heartwarming encounter occurred backstage at the DWTS Live 2024 tour Slater is currently hosting.
Expressing her joy on Instagram, Slater, 35, shared a photo with Umansky, 53, and couldn't contain her excitement. She wrote, "So happy to see @mumansky18 last night at the DWTS tour 😆😆😆😆 ahhhh super grateful that we were partnered on the show, if you met him you already know he’s just the best," followed by, "Annnnnd he stole the show just by being in the audience 😂😂😂😂."
Umansky and Slater had previously teamed up on season 32 of Dancing with the Stars, where they showcased their skills but were eliminated after their performances during the "Monster Night." Despite their elimination, their chemistry on the dance floor sparked romance rumors, especially after Umansky's separation from his wife, Kyle Richards, was announced.
In October, speculation heightened when Umansky and Slater were spotted enjoying an intimate dinner date and holding hands, fueling rumors of a blossoming romance. However, Umansky quickly addressed these rumors on his Instagram Stories, stating, "For full clarity, we are not dating."
Umansky's separation from Richards was confirmed in September. The couple initially denied reports of their breakup but later went public with their split, expressing that they were currently separated but not discussing divorce.
Meanwhile, Richards has been linked to country singer Morgan Wade, with whom she shares a flirtatious rapport on social media. Despite denying any romantic connection, fans speculate about their relationship, especially after witnessing intimate moments backstage at various events.
Focusing on his journey, Umansky has shared his perspective on his estranged wife's relationship, expressing his acceptance and understanding. He prioritized handling the separation privately and respecting Richards' choices.
