Mauricio Umansky was spotted holding hands with his'Dancing With the Stars'partner, Emma Slater, amid his broken marriage.
Earlier this month, the 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star told the public that he was still trying to work things out with his wife of over twenty-six years, Kyle Richards. However, it may now be over for good as Umansky was spotted holding hands with his 'DWTS' partner.
Mauricio Umansky Takes Relationship With Emma Slater To Next Level
The 'Buying Beverly Hills' creator is currently separated from his estranged wife, Kyle Richards and he is moving on quick as he was spotted out to dinner with his 'DWTS' partner, Emma Slater, in Beverly Hills Sunday.
Following dinner, they were spotted holding hands and looking like a couple outside of the ballroom, seemingly taking their relationship to the next level.
A source also spoke out, admitting that the hand-holding came after the two shared a deep conversation over dinner, including their upcoming dance on this week's show, which will highlight Umansky's most important year of his life. He chose 1996, the year he married Kyle Richards and the year he was fired from the fashion industry, which is when he began his career in real estate.
The reality television star reportedly opened up to his 'DWTS' partner, Emma Slater, about the events that occurred that year, which helped their connection stronger.
Earlier this month, Umansky claimed that even though he and Kyle Richards are “officially separated,” the two were still holding on to their relationship and trying to make it work.
