Ahead of the concert on Tuesday, the real estate magnate paid respect to Richards, from whom he has been divorced for some time.
Mauricio Umansky is getting ready to let it all hang out on the dance floor!
The star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has written a touching ode to his ex-wife, Kyle Richards, to whom he will be dedicating his performance on Tuesday’s episode of Dancing With the Stars. The letter was published ahead of the show.
“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,” he wrote alongside BTS pictures of him and his partner, Emma Slater, from rehearsals. Emma Slater is a professional dancer who has competed on Dancing with the Stars.
“In my time, the year 1996, Kyle and I were married, and a year later, Alexia was born. Farrah and Alexia were our children. I was sacked from my work when I was 26 years old, and I had no money. My pillar of support was Kyle, and together we overcame obstacles, not once but a thousand times, and we shifted many mountains. This has been an amazing adventure all the way through. The dance that we are going to have tonight is in honor of Kyle and my family. a little of #BTS”
This communication from Mauricio to Kyle came only a few days after it was photographed that he was holding hands with Emma after dinner in Los Angeles. According to photographs acquired by Page Six, the Dancing With the Stars couples were seen walking out of Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills on Sunday evening while holding hands and smiling.
A witness saw Mauricio, 53, and Slater, 34, exchanging lips when they were sitting at the bar for dinner. This witness reported their behavior to Page Six and said that they were seen inside the restaurant.
ET has been informed by a source that “Mauricio and Emma have just finished dinner.” They are close companions.
Mauricio and Kyle, both 54, have experienced a year filled with both positive and negative experiences. In the beginning of this month, Mauricio said that he and Kyle had divorced but are continuing to work toward reuniting as a married couple, despite the fact that they have three daughters: Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15.
“The reality is… we are officially separated, but we’re not throwing in the towel,” he stated further. “We’re going to have to battle for this. We’ve been married for 27 years, and 26 of those years have been incredible. My very best friend, Kyle, is an incredible human being, and I adore her… And occasionally couples go through challenging moments, and that is what we are dealing with right now.”
Mauricio said that despite the difficulties they are experiencing in their marriage, the family is more united than it has ever been.
“There are many aspects of this situation that have, in fact, brought the family together a little bit more… “There is a bright side to this,” he said.
