Kyle Richards' Criticism Sparks Romance Rumors Between Mauricio Umansky and Emma Slater

Mauricio Umansky and Emma Slater have denied rumors of a romantic relationship after being spotted holding hands. In a video shared on Instagram, Mauricio clarified that they are not dating and are just good friends who have formed a special bond through their intense dancing rehearsals. The moment in question was a casual hand-holding gesture after dinner, which was blown out of proportion by the paparazzi. Mauricio's estranged wife, Kyle Richards, expressed her hurt feelings about the rumors on a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live. Mauricio and Kyle have previously denied divorce rumors but admitted to facing challenges in their marriage.
