Mauricio Umansky Dedicates 'DWTS' Performance With Rumored Flame Emma Slater to Estranged Wife Kyle Richards

Mauricio Umansky is showing his appreciation for Kyle Richards in a very strange way.

The real estate broker, 53, took to Instagram on Tuesday, October 24, to reveal he would be dedicating his next Dancing With the Stars performance — which he'll be doing with rumored flame Emma Slater — to his estranged wife, 54, and their daughters Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, 34, Alexia Umansky, 27, Sophia Umansky, 23, and Portia Umansky, 15.

"Tonight's Dance on @dancingwiththestars is about life and how it's not always perfect and when you think it's impossible to move mountains and you're at your lowest moment and you think all doors are closed you need to rise up and rise unafraid and move mountains," Umansky penned alongside throwback photos of his family and himself rehearsing with the pro, 34.

"My time was 1996 when Kyle and I got married and Alexia was born ... We had Farrah and Alexia. I was 26 when I was fired from my job and was broke. Kyle was my rock and together we rose up and we rose up 1000 x and we moved mountains a lot of them. It's been an incredible journey. Tonight's dance is dedicated to Kyle and my Family. Some #BTS," the Buying Beverly Hills star concluded the heartfelt update.

The tribute comes days after Umansky was seen getting cozy with Slater during a dinner date at Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills, Calif. According to eyewitnesses, the two were seen kissing when they sat next to each other inside the restaurant before leaving with their arms wrapped around each other.

As OK! previously reported, the reality star confirmed he and The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills OG were officially separated but "not throwing in the towel" on their union after months of speculation.

"We're fighting for this. We've been married for 27 years," Umansky explained to a reporter. "Kyle is my best friend, she's an amazing human, I love her... And marriages go through difficult times, sometimes, and that's what we're dealing with right now."

The demise of their romance will play out in the new season of RHOBH. "You're gonna see our relationship kind of leading into the difficult parts of the relationship, there's no question about all that," he noted. "But it's gonna be a really fun, entertaining season for people who like to watch drama — there's gonna be a lot of drama, that's for sure."
