Mauricio Umansky reunites with ‘DWTS’ partner Emma Slater: ‘He’s just the best’

Mauricio Umansky couldn’t stop smiling as he reunited with his former “Dancing With the Stars” partner, Emma Slater.

The dancing pro, 35, gushed over her recent run-in on Instagram Sunday, revealing that the reality star, 53, visited her backstage at the “DWTS Live 2024” tour, which Slater is currently hosting.

“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,” she wrote on Instagram, adding, “Annnnnd he stole the show just by being in the audience 😂😂😂😂.”

Umansky and Slater were previously partnered together on Season 32 of “Dancing with the Stars.” The pair was sent home after the show’s “Monster Night,” where they performed a hustle and the Charleston during the “dance Monster-a-thon.”

Romantic rumors between Umansky and Slater began circling in October amid news of Umansky’s separation from his wife, Kyle Richards, as the duo was spotted enjoying an intimate dinner date and were seen holding hands as they exited the restaurant.

Umansky denied the relationship rumors.

“We do want to address this story, this whole thing, going out and about whether or not Emma and I are dating — whether we went out on a date,” Umansky said at the time via his Instagram Stories. “For full clarity, we are not dating.”

He continued, “When we came out of dinner, we were recapping and I reached out to grab Emma’s hand, and she grabbed my hand, and we, you know, walked to the cars just recapping and summarizing and then the paparazzi caught that moment. It’s become a blown-out moment.”

Richards, 55, and Umansky initially denied reports of their breakup, but went public with their split in September.

“Kyle and I are human beings, OK? We have emotions, we have feelings, we’re going through a really hard time, OK?” Umansky told TMZ at the time.

“We are currently separated, we are not talking about divorce and we’re trying to deal with this stuff internally with ourselves privately.”

He also told Page Six in October that despite their marital troubles, he and the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star were not “throwing in the towel yet.”

Richards, on the other hand, has sparked dating rumors with Country singer Morgan Wade.

The “Halloween” star recently left a cheeky comment under a photo of Wade, 29, dressed in country cowgirl gear on Instagram.

“Save a horse , ride a cowgirl 🤠,” she wrote. To which, Wade responded with: ““@kylerichards18 😂☠️🪦.”
