AceShowbiz - Sparks apparently fly in the "Dancing with the Stars" ballroom. Mauricio Umansky has been swept in dating rumors with his dancing partner Emma Slater after the duo were caught holding hands in public.
On Sunday, October 22, the pair were having dinner together at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills. After enjoying their meals, they reportedly headed to an outdoor bar where they shared a few kisses, an eyewitness tells Page Six.
The outing reportedly lasted around three hours before they were seen leaving the establishment. In photos which have circulated online, the pair looked getting cozy as they were walking hand-in-hand in the parking lot. They seemed to have a blast as Mauricio was able to make Emma laugh. She was also spotted with her arm around his waist at one point.
Both of them dressed casually for the dinner date. Mauricio wore a black hooded sweatshirt on top of a white T-shirt with gray pants, teamed with black sneakers. Emma went for an all-black look in a black sweatshirt, pants and shoes in matching color. She also carried a black bag on her shoulder, while her blonde hair was let loose.
Mauricio and Emma are partnered in the currently airing season 32 of "DWTS". His estranged wife Kyle Richards has previously come to support him during the taping of the first week of the competition. "I support him because that's what we do," she explained her presence that night.
In late September, Mauricio confirmed his split from Kyle after months of swirling rumors. He told E! News, "We're public figures and the reality is we are separated right now. We are going through a really difficult time. It's been a struggle. We are not ready to throw in the towel. We are still working on our marriage and we're not in a rush."
At the time, Mauricio also insisted that he's not dating anyone and debunked speculation that his estranged wife cheated on him with country singer Morgan Wade. "There is no doubt in my mind that Kyle has not slept or cheated with Morgan Wade," he said. "They are really great friends. They are filming stuff together; they're doing stuff together. They are not in a relationship."
