Mauricio Umansky & Emma Slater Spark Dating Rumors
Rumors are swirling about Mauricio Umansky and his “Dancing with the Stars” partner Emma Slater!
On Sunday, the two were spotted holding hands after a dinner at celeb hotspot Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills.
In photos obtained by Page Six, Slater was seen wrapping her arm around Mauricio’s waist!
An eyewitness revealed that they even kissed while inside the sushi restaurant.
According to TMZ, the two had a deep conversation before they were spotted walking hand in hand outside the restaurant.
The sighting comes a week after it was speculated that he could be dating his real estate co-worker Leslie Bega.
He reacted to the “stupid” rumors about his personal life, telling “Extra” backstage after a “DWTS” performance, “It's too much. I don't know what else to tell you about that. I showed up late for the dinner, I left early for the dinner, and, like, all of a sudden it's, like, a whole story — it's just stupid.”
In September, Mauricio confirmed his split with Kyle Richards, his wife of 27 years.
He told TMZ, “Kyle and I are human beings, okay? We have emotions, we have feelings, we’re going through a really hard time, okay?”
Umansky added, “We are currently separated, we are not talking about divorce and we’re trying to deal with this stuff internally with ourselves privately.”

View StoryEmma was previously married to Sasha Farber, but they called it quits in the summer of 2022. She filed for divorce earlier this year.
She recently explained why they ended the marriage on a podcast interview on “The Viall Files.” She told Nick Viall, “It’s really the kid thing. It’s interesting because I do want to have kids; I just don’t want to delay Sasha’s path in having kids because I know that he is ready for that. I don’t want to talk about him too much because that’s really for him to say, but it’s about kids.”
“I do want kids,” Emma emphasized. “I don’t know what it is. I’m just figuring that out for myself. It’s not something I take lightly, and I don’t want to enter into something that I’m not sure about because I would never do that.”
Emma even revealed what she wanted in a future partner, saying, “I see, like, a tall guy with, like, blue eyes and, maybe, British or someone. Like, that would be ideal. I don’t know why that’s coming to my head. [And] blond. I don’t know a guy like that.”
